Unwanted hair growth isn’t just a nuisance during the summer and swimming season. It can be just as frustrating on any ordinary day. Many people Estetikcentrum to us at Estetikcentrum for help getting rid of unwanted hair for good. That’s because we offer modern, long-term solutions in the form of laser hair removal.
Using laser treatment is a very effective way to get rid of unwanted hair, especially on the face where precision and safety are particularly important. Laser treatment on the face can sound a bit intimidating, and we often get questions about how the procedure works. To help you feel extra confident, we’ve also put together a guide that explains every step from start to finish.
Before treatment – here’s how to prepare
To ensure your treatment is as effective and comfortable as possible, it all starts with a few simple but important steps. Once you’ve booked an appointment for facial hair removal (or hair removal on another part of the body) with us, you’ll receive clear instructions on what you should and shouldn’t do. Many customers are surprised to learn that they need to shave the area to be treated the day before, but we promise there’s a good reason for this. The laser needs a hair follicle beneath the skin to work with—not one that’s sticking up.
We also recommend that you avoid sunbathing for at least four weeks before the treatment and that you put away your wax and tweezers for the time being. If you pull the hairs out by the root, you will interfere with the treatment results and may need to undergo more treatments than usual
During treatment
The treatment itself is often quicker than you might think. When you arrive, we start by cleaning the area, and then we adjust the laser machine to suit your specific skin type and hair color. This means you receive a customized solution tailored just for you—not a one-size-fits-all treatment!
The sensation during the treatment can best be described as small, warm pricks. Many people say 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 intense, but many of our customers say it’s much gentler than they imagined.
After treatment
After the treatment, your skin may feel slightly warm and appear red. This is completely normal and usually subsides within a few hours. Sometimes there is slight swelling, but this too usually disappears quickly. At Estetikcentrum , we Estetikcentrum say that your skin needs a little TLC afterward. Therefore, avoid applying makeup to the area for the first few hours and protect it from the sun for the first 2–4 weeks. A cool aloe vera gel usually feels soothing if the skin is sensitive.
