Unwanted hair growth can be a nuisance not only during summer and bathing season. It can be just as frustrating on any normal day. Many people come to us at Estetikcentrum for help in getting rid of hair growth for good. We have access to modern and long-term solutions in the form of laser hair removal.
Using laser is a very good and effective way to get rid of hair that bothers you, especially in the face where precision and safety are extra important. Laser on the face can sound a little scary and we often get questions about how the treatment works. To help you feel extra confident, we have also put together a guide that explains all the steps from start to finish.
Before treatment - how to prepare
To make your treatment as effective and comfortable as possible, it all starts with a few simple but important steps. When you book an appointment for facial (or other body) hair removal with us, you will receive clear instructions on what you should and should not do. Many customers are surprised that they need to shave the area to be treated the day before, but we promise there is a good reason why. The laser needs a hair under the skin to work with - not one that sticks up.
We also recommend that you avoid sunbathing for at least four weeks before treatment and that you put the waxing jar and tweezers on the shelf until further notice. If you pull the hairs out from the root, you will interfere with the treatment result and may need to perform more treatments than usual
During the treatment
The treatment itself is often quicker than you think. When you come to us, we start by cleaning the area and then the laser machine is adjusted to your particular skin type and hair color. This means that you get a customized solution that suits you and not a standard treatment!
The actual sensation during the treatment can best be described as small, warm pricks. Many people find it feels a bit like a rubber band snapping against the skin. In areas where the skin is more sensitive, it may feel a little more, but many of our customers say it is much milder than they imagined.
After treatment
After treatment, your skin may feel a little warm and look red. This is normal and usually goes away within a few hours. Sometimes there is a slight swelling, but this also usually disappears quickly. At Estetikcentrum , we usually say that the skin needs a little love afterwards. Therefore, avoid applying makeup to the area for the first few hours and protect from sun for the first 2-4 weeks. A cool aloe vera gel usually feels good if the skin is sensitive.
