1. First Consultation
Before any treatment can begin you must be evaluated by our medical staff. During this evaluation we will asses if you are a candidate for the procedure. What can influence this? Well, many factors. First there must be some contrast between hair color and skin color for laser hair removal to be effective. Ideally, the hair must have pigment. Additionally, coarse hair responds better than fine hair. After consultation our staff will go over treatment recommendations and how many sessions you should expect to receive for your desired results. Our treatments are packaged in a minimum of 10 sessions.
2. Your First Session
Appointments are quick, no more than 20-30 minutes depending on area treated. The staff at our Chicago MedSpa will make sure you are relaxed and as comfortable as possible before your treatment starts. Once treatment starts you may feel discomfort. Many of our patients describe the feeling of being snapped by a rubber band. Patients experience pain differently, so keep that in mind when discussing with our technicians.
3. After Care
For most patients the process of laser hair removal can take around six months. Each appointment scheduled every four to six weeks. But it’s not unusual that you may see results from the first sessions. Most patients see results in ten to fifteen days. We recommend exfoliating with a sugar scrub after and in between sessions. Additionally, we urge clients to avoid tanning or exposure to sun 1 week before or after treatments. If possible avoid tanning altogether to avoid interference with treatment.
4. Results
Results may vary by person and treatment area. Typically, most patients accomplish 75-90% hair reduction after a 10 session treatment. If you require additional sessions after your treatment is complete you can definitely purchase individual sessions.
