Laser Hair Removal
It is impossible to remove 100% of the hairs, no matter what anybody claims.
Laser treatments are only approved by the FDA for “permanent hair reduction” NOT“permanent hair removal”. Typically you can expect to see a 80% -95% reduction in hair growth following a course of laser hair removal.
It depends on your pain threshold. What we do now is that the GentleMAX Pro and ZimmerCRYO 6 make it one of the least painful laser treatments available.
The following list can restrict or prevent a client from having Laser Hair Removal: ● Pregnancy ● Fake Tan ● Medical Conditions ● Prescription Medications ● Sun Exposure ● Vigorous Physical Activity
Please advise us if you have been exposing the treatment area to the sun in the last two weeks. It’s important we prevent burns. Treat every Laser Hair Removal like it’s your first!
Possible side effects which may occur following laser hair removal treatments include itchy, redness and swelling around the treatment area or swelling of the follicles (follicular edema). These side effects rarely last more than a couple of hours, if at all, however occasionally on sensitive skins it can last up to 24 hrs. Post treatment reactions vary from individual to individual, however due to the nature of the treatment, it is not uncommon for clients to experience short term redness (similar to after you have waxing). However a light mineral make-up can be applied directly after and therefore appointments can be booked during a lunch break with no visible indications of treatment afterwards.
How many sessions will I need?
The majority of clients require a minimum of six sessions, although ten is recommended for best results. Some individuals may require more, depending on the individual skin/hair type.
The treatment time can vary considerably depending on the size of the area treated, and the particular technique used. A small area such as the upper lip may take only five minutes, while a larger area like the back or legs may take up to 30-45 minutes.
You should allow around 2-3 weeks for the hairs to start shedding following your treatments, you can aid this process by exfoliating twice a week with a gentle exfoliator and clean mitt followed by a good moisturizer.
Don’t worry, you are not alone - the thought of considering Laser Hair Removal can be an incredibly daunting prospect. The fear of the unknown, along with the occasional ‘horror story’ online or in the press, relating to adverse reactions caused by untrained therapists, means that most people will feel very apprehensive before having their first laser session.
At Little Europe we have years of experience as a beauty therapist's and we believe we have one of the best Laser Hair Removal systems on the market. All our staff are fully trained. Once you have had your first session, those nerves tend to go away.
Absolutely. Even after a couple of treatments you should notice a remarkable improvement as the majority of your ingrown hairs will be terminated. Within a few weeks, the area will be much smoother; we recommend you exfoliate gently twice a week to aid this process.
There should be no fake tan on the area to be treated, if you have applied a ‘gradual homeself tan’ such as ‘Dove’ or ‘Olay’ you will need to leave it two weeks prior to your laser treatment or leave it four weeks if it is a ‘professional salon tan’ such as ‘St Tropez, Bondi Sands, Loving Tan’. We regretfully will not conduct a treatment on a tanned area. This is because after the laser treatment the skin is more sensitive to UV light. The treated area should be covered/protected from UV light for four weeks after Laser Hair Removal to improve the long term results and prevent complications from arising. An SPF 30 must be used on any treated areas exposed to direct UV light continuously after the treatment until your course has finished. Clients cannot use solariums whilst having a course of laser.
If you are interested in having Laser Hair Removal we would need to book you in for a consultation to assess whether you would be suitable for the treatment.
The melanin content in your skin is an important factor to consider and we would need to conduct a thorough consultation, and examine the area to be treated in order to recommend a suitable treatment plan. In many cases the simple answer is yes but you may need more sessions than the average.
The laser energy is attracted to the pigment in your hair. The darker and thicker the hair is, the more successful the treatment will be. White and grey hair does not contain any melanin so therefore we cannot treat these hairs with laser. Blonde and red hairs are difficult to treat as they contain such a small amount of pigment. As long as the hairs are darker than the skin tone we would certainly offer you a complimentary consultation where we can discuss your options.
No, quite the opposite. For a laser treatment to be successful we would require you to shave the area to be treated the day before you come in. This is because the laser is attracted to the pigment inside the hair and we want the energy from the laser to be focused on travelling down the hair shaft to the main source of growth, so it can be destroyed. If there are any ‘hairs’ above the skin surface (ie if you have not shaved) the laser will be attracted to these thus wasting energy on the end part of the hair and causing potential skin damage and/or pigmentation. All areas must be shaved, including the face.
