Are you tired of constant shaving or waxing? Laser hair removal might just be the game-changer you need to simplify your beauty routine. With this advanced treatment, you can enjoy smooth, hair-free skin without the hassle of regular upkeep. At Lucia Clinic, we specialize in safe, effective laser hair removal treatments that can fit seamlessly into your schedule. In this blog post, we’ll share eight essential tips to help you get the most out of your laser hair removal experience, making at least one part of your beauty regimen simpler right away.
1. SAVE YOUR TIME AND NERVES
Let’s say that getting laser hair removal on your whole legs, underarms, and bikini zone lasts for about an hour. There are some differences in duration depending on your hair type and thickness. And you need a maximum of 10 sessions to destroy unwanted hair permanently.
So, let’s roughly add it up – 10 hours – every 4-6 weeks, plus occasional touch-up treatment if necessary. It’s very simple, you just pop up to the clinic, get your treatment session done, and continue with your daily routine. On the whole, you save a lot more time and constantly enjoy your silky smooth skin. Laser hair removal isn’t just about convenience—it can also complement other body-enhancing treatments. For instance, when paired with body contouring Dubai experts offer, you can target both unwanted hair and stubborn areas of fat, leaving you with smoother, more toned skin.
TIP: If you are prone to ingrown hair, laser hair removal is the only effective method of eliminating it fast.
The laser hits the root of the problem – the hair follicle. It destroys the follicle so it can’t grow hair. With no hair, there is no ingrown hair – it’s that simple. You will never have to worry about unsightly bumps on your legs, for example, they will be beautifully smooth.
Of course, it’s not an overnight solution, but it is so worthwhile in the end. Once you start your laser hair removal Dubai clinics offer, you will notice the results really soon – your unwanted hair is disappearing, the remaining hair is lighter and not so visible. The final result may take a while to notice, but it will be permanent.
2. CHOOSE THE RIGHT LASER HAIR REMOVAL TREATMENT
You have been given a gift of choice – there are so many different laser hair removal treatments that you can surely find the right one for you. The following two treatments will greatly reduce your unwanted hair, and you will love them!
SOPRANO TITANIUM LASER HAIR REMOVAL TREATMENT
This is the crème de la crème among laser hair removal devices. It is the latest generation and represents a revolution in laser hair removal because it’s pain-free, it’s fast, and most importantly, it’s super effective. The Alma company has patented it, so you can be sure that it combines comfort and functionality.
It uses the SHR system, which stands for super hair removal. It’s a diode laser that creates a focused beam of light that targets its goal – melanin in the hair follicle. SHR slowly heats the top layer of the skin, and when it reaches the proper temperature, it destroys the follicle and with that the hair. It combines IN-Motion technology and ICE plus cooling tips and makes sure that the surface of your skin is comfortable and cool.
Choose the right laser hair removal procedure.
Another cool thing about this treatment is that it has a large 4 square centimeters applicator that treats large areas of the body really, really fast – this is something completely new in the world of laser hair removal. Also, it makes sure that missed areas are minimal.
TIP: If you have a dark or tanned skin tone, Soprano Titanium won’t damage your skin surface.
That’s how exceptional this treatment is. We know that dark skin melanin is more sensitive to heating, so laser hair removal is not always a good choice. But Soprano Titanium beats other treatments – SHR slowly heats the skin surface, and there is no possibility of burning it. This fact is what makes Soprano Titanium the only safe laser treatment for dark skin tones.
TIP: Start with Soprano Titanium laser hair removal even if summer is approaching. This treatment is safe to be done at any time of the year.
AND WHAT DO PEOPLE SAY?
Usually, when asked why they chose to get Soprano Titanium laser hair removal, they say that they hated their unwanted hair and wanted to get rid of it fast, painlessly, and finally in an effective way. All that is possible with this amazing treatment. They also say that once most hair is destroyed, you don’t have to go 2 to 3 times a month to your waxing appointment, or use a razor every other day – you just get so relaxed because you don’t have to worry about pesky hair. One more thing – they could have their treatment even in the summer because it’s safe and there are no side effects. After finishing with a session, they could go on vacation right away – you don’t need to plan your summer holiday according to treatment sessions. Not having to shave every day at the seaside was already a big motive for deciding to have this treatment.
Another thing that is awesome about the treatment and that attracted a lot of people is that it is super fast. After the ultrasonic gel is applied to the targeted area, the laser applicator is moved quickly across that area – that’s the IN-motion technique. Because of the integrated cooling system, at the start of the treatment, the patient feels only a cold sensation. After a few seconds, the laser starts to get warmer, but when it becomes hot, the treatment is over. So there are no burns or hyperpigmentation.
This is the best part of the treatment – after a single session, you can see the first results 2 to 3 weeks post-treatment. This is the time when your hair would grow normally again, but you notice, for example, while showering, that the treated hair is falling off, and almost one-third of the hair disappears. So, after 4 to 6 sessions 90% of your hair is gone. That’s pretty cool! And that’s what made this treatment so popular and beloved by many people. They finally could enjoy silky smooth skin all the time.
SOPRANO ICE LASER HAIR REMOVAL TREATMENT
This is another brilliant hair removal treatment. Soprano ICE laser is an advanced device that really takes hair removal procedures to the next level. It has various wavelengths, which make it suitable for most skin types and hair types. Soprano ICE laser lets you treat all body areas and finally put a stop to unwanted hair.
Its goal is hair follicles – the laser changes the energy from light to heat, which detects the root of the follicle and destroys it. It needs the heat to work properly, but it is virtually painless because there is a lower amount of energy that is pulsed 10 times a second. Once destroyed, the hair follicle can grow hair anymore – so it’s goodbye pesky hair forever.
As with any other laser hair removal treatment, you can’t wax, tweeze, or pluck the hair in between two sessions. Remember – the laser needs the follicle to destroy it properly. After the initial series of sessions, if some persistent hair still grows back, you can easily solve this with a touch-up treatment. This hair will be much thinner and finer in texture so that the touch-up treatment can be finished fast.
There are some shortcomings of this laser – it doesn’t work on white, grey, or ginger hair. This is because it needs melanin to destroy the follicle. Also, very fine and thin hair won’t be affected by this laser because it doesn’t have enough density. But otherwise, it works like a charm. Most clients see positive results after just a few treatments, but for the best results, you might need 8 to 12 treatment sessions.
WHAT DO PEOPLE SAY ABOUT SOPRANO ICE?
Again, one of the biggest reasons why people choose this treatment is the removal of all unwanted hair once and for all. It is simple and so easily fitted into everyday life – you just pop to the clinic every six weeks, get your treatment and carry on with your daily routine. You don’t need to let your hair grow like with some other methods (waxing or epilation); you can just shave.
Each patient gets a customized treatment plan that includes the patient’s tolerance to the heat. You just get ultrasonic gel applied to your targeted area in order to transport the laser energy, and the therapist swiftly moves the applicator over the area. It is quickly over – for example, when doing underarm, it can be over in less than a minute.
Another thing that makes Soprano ICE laser hair removal super popular is that it can even be performed in the summer and on tanned skin. People can go on their summer holiday whenever they want to -they don’t have to plan their holidays according to the treatment sessions or have their sessions only during cold weather.
Finally, this is the best thing about this treatment – after a couple of weeks post-treatment, the hair starts to fall off. To get the best results, you need between 6 and 12 sessions, but that’s all individual.
The laser also works well if you have a darker skin tone; it’s just that darker skin will steal away some of the laser energy. Again, you will achieve great results with a couple of extra sessions.
It is important to catch the hair in its growth phase.
3. CATCH THE HAIR AT THE RIGHT MOMENT
Laser hair removal may sound like science fiction due to its use of laser energy and heat. However, when applied at the optimal stage of hair growth, laser treatments achieve the best results and are straightforward to perform.
Our body is covered with a lot of hair – 5 million to be precise. And it doesn’t grow at the same controlled time – it’s pretty much every hair for itself. This means that each hair has its own growth cycle, or better yet, three cycles:
- Cycle number one – ANAGEN: This is the growth cycle.
- Cycle number two – CATAGEN: This one is a phase between rest and growth.
- Cycle number three – TELOGEN: This is the resting phase.
When the hair is in the second and third phases, it is not good for laser removal because it doesn’t grow at these stages, as it doesn’t get nourishment. The laser can’t affect it because this hair is already shedding. So the laser can’t reach the hair follicle and destroy it. So, in order for the laser to work, the hair needs to be in anagen or growth phase – it is fixed in the hair follicle.
HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT YOUR HAIR IS IN A GROWING PHASE?
It’s very simple – just pass across your skin with your hand, and if you can feel your hair, that’s it. In the growing phase, you can see your hair above your skin because it is attached to the papilla, which is a part of the hair follicle. The papilla is like a dent that resembles a knob at the base of the follicle. So, as already mentioned, the laser will be effective in destroying the hair follicle if the hair is in the anagen phase. This phase lasts for 2 to 3 weeks.
4. PREPARE BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT
Before starting your laser hair removal treatments, it’s also a great time to consider other options for body improvement, like mesotherapy Dubai offers. This non-invasive treatment helps target areas of stubborn fat and cellulite by delivering active ingredients directly into the skin, promoting smoother, more toned areas. Combining mesotherapy with laser hair removal can give you a more comprehensive approach to body contouring.
When I decided to start my laser hair removal journey, there were several things I needed to take care of regarding my skin. There aren’t a lot of preparations for the first and every subsequent session, but still, to get the best results, follow a few simple tips:
- INITIAL CONSULTATION WITH THE SKIN THERAPIST: This is something you should do before having your first laser hair removal session because we are all different and have different types of skin. The therapist examines your skin and determines which treatment is the best for you.
- INFORM YOUR THERAPIST ABOUT MEDICATIONS: This is something you need to be straight with. Some medications can interfere with the effectiveness of the laser, or they can make your skin more sensitive, so you can more easily get burned.
- STAY CLEAR OF THE SUN: This is important – if you have sunburned skin, the laser may damage your skin even more. You don’t want that to happen. So avoid sun exposure for 1 to 2 weeks before your session.
- NO ARTIFICIAL TAN: This goes for bronzers, tanning creams, tanning beds – anything that makes the color of your skin darker. Also, don’t bleach your skin 6 weeks before the treatment.
- DON’T THROW AWAY YOUR RAZOR JUST YET: Because this is the only way you can groom your hair before laser hair removal. So no depilatory creams, waxing, tweezing, or plucking is allowed at least 5 to 6 weeks before the treatment.
- DON’T USE PERFUMES: Or deodorants, lotions, or other cosmetic products that you normally apply to your skin. There is a possibility that these products have tiny amounts of metal in them, which may interfere with the laser and make it less effective.
6. TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOUR SKIN AFTER LASER HAIR REMOVAL
After completing a laser hair removal session, there are several effective ways to nurture the skin and achieve optimal results. These simple steps help maintain nourishment between treatments, ensuring the skin remains healthy and prepared for upcoming sessions. Focusing on skin health is essential. If you also deal with conditions like rosacea, laser treatments can help calm flare-ups by targeting redness. However, you may need specialized rosacea treatment in Dubai to heal your skin completely.
IT’S NORMAL TO HAVE MILD REDNESS AFTER THE TREATMENT
This is because you’re dealing with heat coming from the laser, and your skin will be a little sensitive. But this is short-lasting. It should stop after 2 hours. You may experience that your skin is feeling a bit sunburned, but you can ease the discomfort by applying Aloe Vera, which is great in situations like this. To prevent irritation, don’t go swimming in chlorinated water and steer clear of hot baths, hot showers, saunas, or steam rooms – all this can burn your skin. Also, take a break from working out in the gym – strenuous exercises make you sweaty, and sweat makes your skin irritated. So, take cool showers that will be soothing for your skin.
BE GENTLE TO YOUR SKIN
Don’t wash the treated area with any harsh products – only mild soap and water are enough. Especially in the first 48hours, dry the skin with a soft cloth – don’t rub it. Also, in the first 24 hours, don’t use topical skincare and other products like makeup, moisturizer, or deodorant, especially if you have treated the underarm area. It could irritate your already sensitive skin.
EXFOLIATE YOUR SKIN
You can use a soft washcloth and mild scrub wash to help the hair fall out faster. Just wipe over your treated area in circles, a couple of times per week, and you will finish the hair shedding and be ready for your next treatment. Or you can just simply shave. However, don’t scratch, wax, tweeze, or pick the treated area. This method of hair grooming will destroy your hair follicles, and as you remember, you need them for your laser treatment. If you want to achieve the best results from your laser hair removal, just shave the treated area.
AVOID THE SUN
This should be the first thing you do to protect your skin after laser treatment. Just don’t expose your skin too much to the sun because it could get irritated. This also goes for getting a fake tan – so again, no tanning beds, tanning creams, and others.
TIP: If you do need to be in the sun, always use a high SPF (25 or higher).
Remember that you need to protect your skin from the sun at least 4 weeks post-treatment.
6. BE CONSISTENT WITH YOUR LASER HAIR REMOVAL TREATMENT PLAN
This part was crucial for me on my journey towards silky smooth skin. When you come to the aesthetic clinic, you get a customized treatment plan that includes when exactly you need to go for your next session. If you wait too long between two sessions, you don’t get the results you expect, and you may get back to square one.
WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU SKIP YOUR LASER HAIR REMOVAL TREATMENT?
Nothing – and that’s what causes problems. Your hair follicles don’t get damaged properly, meaning they can still grow hair. You may see initial results, but pretty soon, your hair starts growing as it normally does. Session after session, the hair follicles are more and more damaged. They may produce some hair, but it will be thinner and feeble. Your hair will grow more and more slowly as your sessions advance.
If you missed a session, that doesn’t mean that you need to give up entirely. Just go back on track right away. You just may need more treatment sessions to treat the hair you missed. If this hair were in a growing phase and you didn’t treat it, it would grow again. 30 to 40% of hair is in the resting phase, which means that this hair is not in the follicle, so it might seem to you that it’s okay to skip one session. But it’s not because this hair will grow back again. That’s why you need to stick to your treatment plan and complete it to get all the unwanted hair gone forever.
There’s a reason why your sessions are spaced apart for 4 to 8 weeks. It depends on the area you are treating, your hair and skin type, and your hair growth cycle. If you are treating hair on your face, for example, your skin therapist needs to tell you how much you need to wait until this hair grows back.
Be consistent with your treatments.
So waiting, for example, 6 weeks between two sessions, ensures that the hair will be in its growing phase and able to be treated with laser. If you wait too long for your next session, your hair will move to its next phase, and the laser won’t be able to treat it. And then you need to wait again until that hair is back in its growing phase – you unnecessarily prolong your laser hair removal journey. There is also the possibility that some of your hair follicles need more sessions to be completely damaged, and if you miss a treatment, they can get fully regenerated and grow hair again. You don’t want that to happen.
Also, if you had just one treatment session and then another one after 3 months, you won’t have any results.
