Laser hair removal does not hurt as much as you might think it would. The laser energy used during the procedure has been designed to target only the dark pigments in your hair follicles, but not your skin cells. Therefore, there are no painful burning sensations when being treated for unwanted facial or body hair.
However, if you are exposed to direct sunlight after treatment for too long, there is a chance that it could burn your skin slightly and cause redness like sunburn or even slight blisters if left untreated for several days afterwards!
It would be ideal to avoid laser hair removal during pregnancy. While there are no known cases of adverse effects from laser hair removal on pregnant women, it’s still better to be safe than sorry.
Laser hair removal does not last forever, but it lasts longer than shaving and waxing. After a series of treatments, most people see less hair growth. If you keep up with maintenance sessions every few months, you can maintain your results for a longer period of time.
The typical duration of laser hair treatment lasting is between 4 to 6 weeks. The number of treatments you need depends on your skin colour and hair colour. Our team will be able to tell you how many treatments you need, as well as when to schedule them.
Lasers target hair follicles more precisely because they use a single, concentrated wavelength of light. Conversely, IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is less concentrated but more adaptable for a range of applications because it uses a wide spectrum of light with multiple wavelengths.
Compared to IPL, which may need more sessions to produce comparable results, laser is more effective over the long run because it can reach deeper into the skin layers and produce faster and more durable results.
When applied properly, both methods are safe. However, there is a marginally increased chance of affecting the surrounding skin because IPL uses scattered light, particularly for people with darker skin tones. With less effect on the surrounding skin, laser is more accurate because it targets melanin inside the hair follicle.
In conclusion, IPL and laser are both efficient hair removal methods, but each has unique benefits and characteristics. Although laser is typically more costly and requires fewer sessions, it is more accurate, penetrates deeper, and produces long-lasting results. IPL is more cost-effective, less targeted, and appropriate for wider regions, but it frequently requires more sessions to produce comparable results. Your skin type, hair density, and financial situation will all influence the method you choose. Knowing how they differ enables you to choose wisely for optimal outcomes.

Here are some pointers on how to look after your skin as it heals following your laser hair treatment:
Keep the space orderly. If you use a scab-forming cream or gel, wash the treated area with warm water and mild soap then reapply the cream or gel. This will keep your skin healthy and help ward against infection.
Steer clear of picking at scabs or irritation developing around the area of your laser hair treatment.
Steer clear of sun on areas where you had laser hair removal done until after healing has finished entirely—usually two weeks. Sun exposure can destroy recently developed skin cells and result in area treated scarring or discoloration.
