Does Laser hair removal hurt?
Chances are you have tried other hair removal methods before looking into laser hair removal like waxing, sugaring, or even tweezing. All of these treatments like laser hair removal have some degree of discomfort. The Lumenis light sheer that is used has a cooling tip that lowers the temperature of the skin to give you a more comfortable experience. Clients have said "It feels like a pinch, but once you have finished it feels like nothing was done. During the consultation, you will receive ( if you wish) a patch test so you can experience it for yourself and see if its within your comfort level.
Will Laser hair removal work on anyone?
Laser hair removal will not work on gray,white blond or red hair follicles. Also, women with PCOS (Polycystic ovarian syndrome) will not have the results they want without medical support along with their treatments.
How many treatments will I need?
Due to the staggering hair growth cycles, some hairs are actively growing while others lie dormant Although treatments vary from person to person laser hair removal requires approximately 6-8 treatments to catch the hair in the "active" growing stage 4-8 weeks apart.
How do I prepare for laser treatments?
If you are waxing it is important to avoid waxing for at least six weeks before your first treatment. This also applies to tweezing. Only shaving should be used between treatments.
You must stay out of the sun. Tanning can cause pigmentation after the use of the laser.
Please let the hair grow a few days before your consultation. It is important to see the amount of growth and thickness of the hair to determine the settings for your treatment. A small area will be shaved by your technician after the consultation for a patch test.
Is Electrolysis painful?
The sensation you get with electrolysis is a quick warmth. Some areas will be more sensitive than others. You may also experience sensitivity at certain times of the month. Products will be recommended that can help you feel more comfortable. Clients have also noticed taking whatever they would take for a headache 30 min before their treatment lessens their sensitivity.
What will my skin look like after?
After your treatment your skin will be slightly red and/or bumpy. this is normal and will last up to a few hours.
How do I know the needles (filaments) are safe?
New, pre-sterilized disposable filiments are used for each treatment Sterility is a major concern.
How long do I wait after shaving to get a wax?
At least a week depending how fast your hair grows. Plan ahead and get at least two wax/sugars in before an event. This way you will know how your skin reacts.After your second wax the results will be better and you wont be uncomfortable for your special event.
How do I prevent ingrown hairs?
An ingrown hair is just the dead skin that is not sloughed off making it impossible for the hair to come through. Waxing or sugaring will help with this because they both will exfoliate the skin. Removing the hair through electrolysis or laser eliminate this problem completely.
What is Eplifree?
Epilfree is a natural and European laser-less permanent hair reduction system that creates exceptional results.It is safe and effective for any skin or hair color.
Epilfree targets and only eradicates cells that are involved in the hair dividing process,so the skin remains healthy.
Is Epilfree pain free?
Yes ! Epilfree is a serum rubbed on after waxing or sugaring and completely pain free.There is no risk of scarring or discoloration and no side effects have been observed.
How does Epilfree work? Epilfree eliminates growth after waxing with two serums, one to open the follicle and the other works on the live cells at the base of the empty hair shaft making it incapable of producing another hair.
Is there anything I need to do before/after the treatment?
yes, you will be given an after care sheet that will need to be strictly followed in order for the treatment to be effective. Such things include:
-No exercise- sweating will take Epilfree out of the follicle where we need it.
-No showering or swimming.
-No deodorant- on underarm treatment -before or after.
-No lotions ,powders or anything on the treated area for six hours after.
Before coming for and Epilfree treatment please shower an hour before with just plain soap and do not use anything else on the skin.
