Benefits of Laser Hair Removal in Los Angeles
Treatment Areas
Laser hair removal works on more areas of the body than any other hair removal method.
Fast Process
Laser removal is much quicker than other types of hair removal.
Permanent Results
Laser hair removal has proven to provide permanent hair removal when done as a series.
Consultation
It starts with a personal consultation with your trained and licensed Younique provider. During this relaxing and energizing one-on-one, they’ll discuss your concerns, your goals for treatment, and your medical history. If your provider determines that laser hair removal in Los Angeles is the best treatment for your concerns and goals, your session can be scheduled.
Procedure
First, your Younique provider will cleanse the treatment area. Then, during your treatment, your provider directs a virtually painless, but extremely effective laser directly into each hair follicle for an extended period of time. The laser is tuned to a specific frequency that targets the pigment in the hair follicles. The pigment then absorbs the light and combusts, destroying the hair. Most patients experience slight discomfort, similar to a rubber-band snap on the skin.
Recovery
You may experience slight redness, bumps, and swelling in the treated area for up to 72 hours. If these conditions persist, topical creams such as aloe, calamine, or hydrocortisone may be applied. Allow a minimum of 7 to 14 days post treatment for hair to “fall out” or shed from the skin. On average, clients experience up to 30% reduction after each treatment. Using a broad spectrum UVA/UVB SPF 30 or higher is critical when receiving laser treatments.
Build Your Custom Treatment Plan
The path for your Younique journey begins with this first step.
What results should I expect after laser hair removal treatment?
After your laser hair removal treatment, you can expect hair in the treated area to fall out within 7 to 14 days. However, hair naturally falls out as part of the growth cycle. Hair that is in the shedding cycle (regression) and has fallen out won’t be affected by the laser, and will need follow-up visits to address them when they appear again.
Also, if you have red, grey, or blonde hair in the area to be treated, we should discuss possible supplemental treatments to address them as the laser is less effective on these hair colors.
How do I support my recovery after laser hair removal?
Your Younique provider will supply you with a list of after-treatment do’s, don’ts, and recommendations. That list may include:
- Avoiding extended UV exposure for 7 days post-treatment.
- If blisters occur, do not puncture. If the skin is broken, apply an antibiotic ointment until healed.
- Tylenol is recommended for post-treatment discomfort.
- Over-the-counter medication is recommended for post-treatment discomfort. You may also apply restorative gel, cool towels, ice packs, or aloe vera to alleviate discomfort due to heat.
- Avoiding using seat warmers immediately after treatment.
- Avoiding any additional laser treatments or chemical procedures on the treated area for at least 2 weeks post-treatment or until healing has occurred.
- Using a broad spectrum UVA/UVB SPF 30 or higher is critical when receiving laser treatments and is recommended for ongoing maintenance.
- Exfoliate treated areas to minimize the risk of ingrown hairs.
