How does laser hair removal work? Simply put, the goal of a laser hair removal treatment using the Harmony XL PRO by Alma is to focus enough heat into the hair follicle so that the follicle is destroyed or damaged to the point where it cannot produce hair again.
What to expect during a laser hair removal treatment Before beginning laser hair removal treatment, the skin area receiving the treatment will be cleaned to remove any oil, dirt, or creams. Goggles or glasses will then be provided to protect your eyes from the laser. During the procedure, you might feel a sensation of a warm pinprick or a slight sting on the treatment area. Overall, the laser hair removal process is not too uncomfortable at all. Treating smaller areas, such as the upper lip and chin, may only take a few minutes. Larger areas, such as the full back or legs, can take 30–45 minutes.
Questions & Support
Best way to achieve maximum laser hair removal results?
It is important to have clean-shaven skin before a laser hair removal treatment. This is because if there is too much hair above the skin, the laser is just absorbed into the hair on top of the skin and does not reach the root of the hair. Shaving the desired area 18–24 hours prior to your treatment appointment is ideal.
Why should I avoid sun exposure and self-tanner before laser hair removal?
Since the laser is attracted to melanocytes (responsible for the brown and darker aspects of skin), the laser can’t quite tell the difference between tanned skin and a true melanocyte. Which is why it is important to avoid self-tanners for 2 weeks prior to a laser hair removal treatment. Interesting Fact: laser hair removal does not work over tattoos either for these same reasons.
Ideally, limiting your sun exposure 4-6 weeks prior to a laser hair removal treatment is optimal. However, it is imperative to avoid sun exposure for at least 1 week prior to having a laser hair removal treatment. This is because tissue retains heat and if there is already heat in the tissue then there is a greater possibility of blistering the skin.
How many laser hair removal treatments are needed for optimal results?
To achieve the best results, it is optimal to receive 6 – 10 laser hair removal treatments over a period of 4 – 8 weeks. It is important to space each treatment to allow time for all hair follicles to cycle through the stages of growth. That is, since hair does not all grow at the same time, the time between treatments allows follicles that were in the dormant phase during a previous treatment to become active so they can be targeted.
