Is Laser Hair Removal Safe?
At ILLUME LaserSpa, we believe in offering treatments that provide long-lasting results and enhance your confidence. One of our most popular services is laser hair removal—a safe, effective, and convenient solution for unwanted hair that saves you time and the hassle of traditional hair removal methods like shaving, waxing, and plucking.
What is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is a cosmetic procedure that uses concentrated light (laser) technology to target and destroy hair follicles. The laser emits light energy, which is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair. This energy converts to heat, damaging the hair follicle and inhibiting future hair growth.
This treatment can be used on virtually any area of the body, including the face, legs, arms, underarms, bikini area, and back. Most people require a series of sessions to achieve optimal results, as hair grows in cycles, and the laser is most effective on hair that is in the active growth phase.
Laser hair removal is an effective hair removal treatment for people experiencing PCOS. If you’re suffering with unwanted hair, send us a message!
Why is Laser Hair Removal Safe?
At ILLUME LaserSpa, we use the FDA-approved Candela GentleLASE laser that is specifically designed for hair removal. Our lasers are equipped with cooling systems to protect the skin and minimize discomfort during the treatment. When performed by a trained professional, laser hair removal is a safe procedure with minimal risk of side effects.
Laser hair removal is non-invasive, meaning there are no cuts, incisions, or harsh chemicals involved. The treatment is also highly customizable, allowing us to adjust the laser settings based on your skin tone, hair color, and hair type to ensure effective and safe results.
It’s important to note that the laser targets pigment in the skin, so patients with darker skin will likely be treated with the YAG laser. We offer free consultations and a thorough skin examination before recommending the best course of action.
Some clients may experience mild redness or swelling immediately after the treatment, but these side effects typically subside within a few hours. Our team will guide you through the aftercare process to ensure your skin stays healthy and irritation-free.
