Laser Hair Removal—Smooth Skin All Summer Long

Enjoy smooth skin this summer when you choose laser hair removal. This quick and precise procedure can be used to remove hair from virtually any part of your body. As a long-term solution, laser hair removal is a great option to ensure smooth skin all summer long. However, most people don’t realize that laser hair removal should be done before summer for optimal results.

One of the major rules of laser hair removal is that you need to stay away from the sun before and after the procedure. In this post, we’ll address why this is important and how you can safely prepare for the summer months ahead.

How Does Hair Removal Work?

Laser hair removal is a non-invasive medical procedure that targets and destroys hair follicles. The laser targets the deep layers of skin by emitting an intense pulsed light, which is absorbed by the pigment in the hair. The light’s energy is then converted into heat, which destroys the hair follicle, delaying future hair growth—an effective and painless way to get smooth skin all summer long.

During the summer months, it’s critical to take extra precautions after this treatment. The sun makes our skin more sensitive to heat, which isn’t ideal after a laser procedure, as heat emanates from the laser itself. As such, using laser hair removal on skin that is already overly exposed to the sun can cause problems like burning, scarring, or hyperpigmentation. We advise avoiding direct sun contact with the treated area for at least two weeks in order to prevent serious skin irritation.

Where Can You Use this Process?

Laser hair removal is commonly used in locations such as the legs, armpits, upper lip, chin, and bikini line. However, it’s completely possible to use on any place on the body except for the eyelid.

The face, legs, and armpits are the most common areas for laser hair removal to be performed. No longer will you have to add an extra 20 minutes to your shower time making sure your legs are perfectly smooth.

The Benefits

As a mostly painless and speedy process, the unique heating technology only damages the hair follicles and not the skin around them. As long as you follow safety guidelines and avoid the sun before and after your treatment, it’s an extremely safe and long-lasting procedure that can give you the smooth skin you’re looking for.

In addition, laser hair removal provides the following benefits:

• Save time and money
• Avoid ingrown hairs
• Quick treatments
• Precision procedure
• Potentially permanent results
