Summer Is Coming! This Is The Perfect Time For Laser Hair Removal. Plus Find Out About A Great Local Spa Special!

Are you looking to remove unwanted facial or body hair? Consider laser hair removal. I personally started doing laser on my bikini area two years ago.  When you commit to the process, you have to attend appointments typically every 6 to 8 weeks.  I saw results within 3 treatments.  Most people need to have at least 6 appointments to see full results.  While I considered the process painful (no one else seems to), an ice pack became my best friend.  After my first appointment I learned a lesson. I started driving to my appointments with an ice pack on me (yes in my car).  By the time I got to the spa, I truly felt very little pain during the procedure.  Now mind you, I am a big wimp so ice was a must for me.

If you are interested laser hair removal, I would recommend starting the process as soon as possible.  You will be well on your way by the summer!

As you may know from my previous articles, I am a huge fan of Lifetime Fitness LifeSpa in Loudoun County (Did I mention the free childcare?), however, there are obviously a host of local medi-spas to choose from in the DC Metro area.  When selecting a medi-spa, I would caution you to make sure that you are working with a reputable spa and get a full consultation in person or over the phone to find out EXACTLY what you need to do in advance of the appointment.  For more information about laser treatments, please see the attached from Lifetime Fitness LifeSpa below.

1. WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF THIS TREATMENT?

Laser hair removal is non-invasive. No needles or chemical creams. Thousands of hairs can be zapped in a single treatment session, so large areas can be efficiently treated. A sweeping beam of light gives you permanent hair reduction on virtually any part of your body. You’re left with smooth skin. Hair free.

2. WHAT AREAS CAN BE TREATED?

Laser hair removal is effective on almost the entire body, including facial and body hair.


3. HOW DO I PREP FOR THE PROCEDURE?

  • 4 WEEKS PRIOR Do not wax, tweeze or have electrolysis, or use hair removal lotions or hair bleaching agents.
  • 3 DAYS PRIOR Discontinue Retin-A, Renova, glycolic acids, vitamin C or any skin irritants.
  • 24 HOURS PRIORShave the area to be treated, if necessary.


4. WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT DURING THE TREATMENT?

The area will be prepped before treatment. Time needed varies, depending on the size of the area being treated. During the treatment, skin is cooled as follicles are heated, keeping you comfortable.DOES IT HURT?Most people find the treatment painless.


5. IS IT SAFE?


Yes. Lasers have been carefully tested for their safety. However, as with any skin treatment there are always risks to consider. Please contact us for your free consultation.


6. WILL MORE THAN ONE TREATMENT BE NECESSARY?


For optimal, long-term results, a series of 5 treatments — spaced 6-8 weeks apart — is recommended. The number of treatments depends upon the area you wish to have treated. Occasional maintenance treatments may be necessary.


7. WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT AFTER TREATMENT?

Immediately after treatment, you’ll notice some pinkness or redness in the treated area, which goes away after a short time. You can return to your normal activities, but sunscreen is recommended on any treated area.
