Waxing, plucking, wasting money on hair removal lotions and potions that don’t work, painful ingrown hairs – why put yourself through all that when you don’t need to?

It is so much unnecessary hassle! Isn’t it time to give yourself and your skin a much-deserved break and try permanent laser hair removal in Bowie, Maryland?

Why Should I Choose Permanent Laser Hair Removal?

You might think laser hair removal (LHR) is expensive, but the truth is that over time you’re going to save quite a bit of money if you choose this method. Think of the cash you’ve spent on razors and other products to remove your unwanted hair. It adds up to a small fortune, doesn’t it? Invest your money wisely on permanent laser hair removal!

Need more convincing? LHR is virtually painless if you prepare for it and follow the aftercare instructions.

Do you need only a few specific hairs removed? You can do that with LHR because of laser precision. Want the full-body LHR experience? You can easily do that too!

Plus, ingrown hairs are not fun. They burn, sting, itch and can become infected. If you have Black skin, you are especially susceptible to ingrown hairs. With laser hair removal, you not only remove unwanted hair but also the risk of developing future ingrown hairs.

Lastly, LHR is a long-lasting and often permanent solution to unwanted hair. In fact, it’s one of the longest lasting hair removal treatments available.

How Does Permanent Laser Hair Removal Work?

Laser hair removal is a simple process with powerful and safe technology. The laser emits light energy that is attracted to melanin, the substance that gives your hair its color. The light energy converts to heat, which destroys hair follicles. This inhibits the growth of hair.

Will I Need Multiple Laser Hair Removal Treatments?

Yes, you should plan on more than one laser hair removal session. LHR is most effective when your hair is in the growth phase, and different follicles are in different phases at once.

Most patients find they have the best results when they schedule four to six permanent laser hair removal sessions that are spaced four to six weeks apart. The number of sessions you need depends on the size of the area you’re treating and the coarseness of the hair.

How Long Will It Take to See Laser Hair Removal Results?

Some men and women see results after one treatment, but keep in mind individual results vary. It’s important you stick with your treatment plan to see continued and optimal results.

How Do I Find a Qualified Laser Hair Removal Provider?

You should do a little research before getting LHR. Make sure your provider has access to the latest technology that will protect your skin from damage, especially if you have darker skin. Verify the provider’s credentials. Training and education matter!

Also, take time to read online reviews, as well. If other patients are happy, there is an excellent chance you’ll be happy too.

Should I Go for a Laser Hair Removal Consultation?

No matter the treatment you choose, you should always consult with your provider beforehand. In order for your provider to create a successful treatment plan, you should schedule a laser hair removal consultation.

During your consultation for permanent laser hair removal in Bowie, Maryland, your provider will evaluate your medical history, your wellbeing, and your hair removal goals, as well as discuss with you your options. You’ll also be given full pre- and post-treatment instructions, pricing, and you’ll have the chance to ask questions.

What Are the Top Pro Tips for Painless Permanent Laser Hair Removal?

When you go to your first appointment for LHR, you’ll have already prepped your body and skin for treatment, but here are six tips from the experts to remember:

  1. Try not to schedule LHR during the menstural phase of your cycle if applicable. During your period, your pain receptors are a bit more active. This means you’ll be more sensitive to pain.
  2. If you’re not in the habit of drinking plenty of water, now is the time. Staying hydrated helps flush out toxins in your body that might increase pain.
  3. Speak to your provider about which over-the-counter (OTC) meds are safe to take about thirty minutes before your treatment.
  4. Remember, your safety and comfort is a priority for your provider. If pain is a concern, ask about a topical anesthetic to help ease your discomfort.
  5. Wear loose-fitting clothing to your appointment. Your skin may be sensitive after laser hair removal treatment, and you might be uncomfortable if your clothes are too tight.
  6. Make sure to use sunscreen. This “rule” applies before and after laser hair removal.

Should I Be Worried About Laser Hair Removal Side Effects?

There isn’t a single cosmetic enhancement that doesn’t have side effects no matter how minor, and LHR is no different. The two most common side effects of LHR are minor and include redness, skin irritation, and crusting. These are temporary and go away quickly on their own, so there’s no need to be worried.
