What to Expect from a Laser Hair Removal Appointment
Laser hair removal treatments are quick and straightforward. Dr. Odueyungbo will begin by cleansing the treatment area and applying a cooling gel to keep your skin comfortable. The laser device is then guided over the skin, targeting hair follicles with pulses of light. Many patients describe the feeling as a series of light snaps against the skin, which is well tolerated.
A series of laser hair removal treatments spaced several weeks apart is usually recommended, since hair grows in cycles and multiple sessions are needed to target hair at different growth stages. We will work with you to design a treatment plan that fits your skin type, hair type, and goals.
Appointments typically last between 15 minutes and an hour, depending on the size of the area being treated. Afterward, your skin may be slightly red or sensitive, similar to a mild sunburn, but this fades quickly. Most patients resume normal activities right away.
