Pain-free Alma Laser Hair Removal
Laser treatment works by identifying the root of the hair and zapping it with light. The light gets absorbed by the hair follicle, where its energy converts to heat. All this concentrated energy impairs the ability of the hair follicle to regrow. We need enough pigment in the hair to successfully treat the follicle. Therefore darker, thicker hair is best for laser.
Common Questions
Is everyone a candidate for laser hair removal?
We can treat all skin types with our laser. When it comes to efficacy on any skin type, we look at the color of the hair.
As mentioned above, the treatment is effective as long as there is pigment in the hair. The best results are seen on clients with dark thick hair. We don’t suggest laser for clients with fine and light hair as it does not respond as well if at all.
What are commonly treated areas?
Laser hair removal is appropriate for almost all body parts. If you have unwanted body hair, we can treat it no matter where it grows. With that said, these are the most common:
Face, Eyebrows, Underarm, Bikini, Legs
What are the do's and don'ts of Laser
For your laser hair removal to be safe successful, there are a few very important pre-care details and contraindications to keep in mind.
Right Before Your Appointment
For best results, make sure to shave your treatment area 24-48 hours before your laser hair removal appointment. It’s also important that when you come in, your treatment area is clean and free of makeup, lotions, deodorant, and any other ointments or topical products.
Avoid All Kinds of Tanning
Although our laser is safe all year round, any skin darkening habits, from casual sun exposure to spray tanning, can compromise the effectiveness of the laser treatment. Try to make sure that your skin is at its natural colour, and avoid unprotected sun exposure, tanning lotions, tanning beds, tanning sprays, and tanning solutions for at least 2 to 4 weeks before and after your treatment.
Skip These Hair Removal Methods
Aside from shaving, avoid all other hair removal methods for at least four weeks before your appointment. This includes waxing, bleaching, tweezing, threading, or epilating.
