What Areas Does Laser Hair Removal Treat?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Before starting the laser hair removal treatment, it\u2019s important that you discuss your goals with your doctor at Lake Jackson Medical Spa. In most cases, Dr. Herrera can recommend laser hair removal treatment in any of the following areas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Arms and legs<\/li>
- Armpits<\/li>
- Upper lip and chin<\/li>
- Bikini line<\/li>
- Chest and back<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
You should contact Dr. Herrera if you\u2019re interested in receiving laser hair removal treatment in any of the above areas. She can also give you more information about the prospects for additional areas of the body where you\u2019re looking to remove hair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How Long Does Laser Hair Removal Treatment Last?*<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Your laser hair removal treatment can take up to 10 sessions to get rid of unwanted hair. This is because hair follicles grow out at different rates, depths, and on an alternating cycle. As a result, it takes several laser sessions to get all of them in the affected area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr. Herrera can give you a better estimate of how long your treatment will last based on your hormone levels, age, and family history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Is Laser Hair Removal Painful?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Since the treatment uses laser technology, you might feel slight tingling and heat during the sessions. However, this shouldn\u2019t be painful and will go away once the session is over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you experience discomfort following the sessions, your doctor can give you an ice pack or cooling gel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How Long Does it Take to Recover from Laser Hair Removal?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
You should be able to resume your daily activities immediately after the laser hair removal session, even though you run the risk of experiencing some redness and swelling. These symptoms should go away within a few hours of the ICON laser hair removal session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
