Laser Hair Removal - What Can I Expect During Treatment?

First you will be given a pair of goggles to protect your eyes from accidental laser light exposure. When your AOI Laser technician pulls the trigger to activate the RF and Laser pulses, you will feel a slight stinging sensation. Due to the cooling of the head and the chiller, you will not find this very uncomfortable, but if you do, be sure to express your discomfort to your laser technician and they can make some adjustments for your comfort.

The treatment can cause some charring of stubble and the associate odour of burnt hair and this is completely normal.

The time the treatment takes is completely dependant on how big of an area you are having treated.

An upper lip may only take a few minutes versus a full set of legs can take a few hours.

Laser Hair Removal – What can you expect After Treatment?

After your AOI Laser Technician has completed your treatment, you will not need bandages or medications. Some redness and swelling (very minor) can occur for the first few hours following the treatment. It is also common to feel a slight stinging sensation for 24 to 48 hours after the treatment. After your treatment it is necessary to: Avoid sun exposure for 2 to 3 weeks and when going outside you must use SPF 30 sunscreen. This is due to the laser making your skin hypersensitive to UV. Avoid exercising and exertion for 24 hours as your perspiration can cause increased irritation to the treated areas. Not wax or pull hairs between treatment Not pick at or constantly rub the treated area. This can also further irritate the treated area.

Hair color and skin color are the key factors that determine the success of laser hair removal. Newer technology machines like the ELOS used at AOI Beauty Studio's Laserhere.com have made laser hair removal safe and effective for many more skin and hair type combinations than previous technology.
