Lasers are an effective and safe way to remove unwanted body hair. It’s a great alternative to messier methods such as bleaching, waxing, or shaving.
At Glamour ‘N’ Glow, we offer laser hair removal services for women and men. Women can have hair removed from their arms, legs, face, underarms, or bikini area. Men can have their hair removed from their back, chest, abs, beard, and neck.
Laser hair removal is a great way to achieve the results you are looking for without the mess.
Laser Hair Removal with IPL
At Glamour ‘N’ Glow, we use an intense pulse light laser tool. This tool sends certain wavelengths of light into the targeted skin areas, specifically at the hair follicle pigments. The pigment absorbs the energy emitted from the light. In turn, the follicle gets heated and loses its ability to grow hair. The tissue surrounding the hair follicle is left untouched.
Hair typically starts falling out of targeted areas 8-14 days after treatment.
An IPL session lasts roughly 20-30 minutes and multiple sessions will be needed as this is designed to gradually remove hair. We’ll apply a cool gel to the targeted areas. You will have to wear protective eyewear during the procedure. At most, you will feel a warming sensation due to the emittance of light.
Minor and rare side effects include some redness and swelling at the local treatment site. When this occurs, it usually resolves in a few hours. Pigmentation may also occur, even though this too is rare. We recommend you limit your sun exposure before and after your treatments to minimize the risk of any potential issues.
Because of the human hair growth cycle, we recommend a series of 4 to 8 treatments for optimal results.
