Laser hair removal treatment is an effective procedure for getting rid of unwanted body hair. It works rapidly and can help with permanent hair reduction. The procedure is simple and almost painless and you can return to your normal routine immediately after. In New Jersey, laser hair removal treatment is the ideal alternative to creams, shaving or waxing. The laser focuses on the hair follicle to destroy it without affecting the skin around it to result in smooth skin free from hair.

Before Laser hair removal treatment

If you are considering this treatment, make a list of all the questions you want to ask the specialist who will perform the procedure. It is important to feel comfortable about the decision you make. Once you’ve decided to be treated, your doctor will advise you about how to prepare yourself before the procedure, what to expect during the procedure and what happens afterwards.

Tattooed skin is not suitable for this treatment since it will not be effective. The same goes for large moles and warts which will have to be avoided.

Unlike common misconception, it is not necessary to grow the hair out for laser hair removal treatment in New Jersey. Rather, it is a good idea to shave the area to make the treatment more effective. Do not wax or pluck the area for at least two weeks before the treatment since this will make it difficult for the laser to find the hair follicle and destroy it.

Just before this treatment, you will be given special eyewear to protect your eyes from the laser. A local anesthetic cream may be applied on the skin to minimize the discomfort.

During the laser hair removal treatment

You will probably feel a little pain during the actual procedure, but this mainly depends on individual tolerance levels. The anesthetic cream reduces this to a great extent. The treatment itself is quick, depending on the area to be lasered. The doctor uses a laser to destroy the hair follicle. You may experience a tingling sensation during the treatment. While the lip or chin may take just under a minute, larger areas such as the back may take much longer.

After treatment

After the Laser Hair Removal treatment in New Jersey there may be some temporary redness and some discoloration in the area, which soon subsides. If the hair was coarse or very thick, there may also be some blistering, but this too disappears shortly. Do not get alarmed if you see hair in the treated area, because this will soon fall off as the hair root is dead as a result of the treatment. Your doctor will advise you to avoid pulling the hair out and give you aftercare tips that include washing the skin with a mild soap and water, avoiding exposure to the sun and tanning beds for at least a week.

Depending on the density of hair and area to be treated, you may need between four and six sessions to see the results you expect. Your doctor will also advise you not to pluck or wax between treatments. Shaving is recommended.

Laser hair removal treatment results can change your lifestyle.
