Treatments are most effective when given at intervals of 4-8 weeks, depending on which area of the body is being treated. Many clients are completely satisfied with their results after only five treatments, while others will need eight or ten treatments for maximum removal of hair. As with any medical treatment, each individual may respond differently. Hair removal and hair reduction as used here are defined as 85% less hair.
Is It Painful?
You may feel a tingling or stinging sensation during treatment. Most clients tolerate this very well without the need for anesthetic. Certain areas on the body are more sensitive to the laser and a topical cooling treatment can be applied to these regions to decrease the discomfort even further. Numbing cream is available for a reasonable fee if necessary.
After Treatment...
Within several minutes, the treated area may become slightly red and puffy. This reaction subsides quickly and the areas return to normal. Clients have described the sensation of mild sunburn for the first day or so. Lasers do not cut the skin so bandages are not necessary and clients return to normal activity immediately. You should not, however, plan any important social engagements during the first 24 hours after your treatment, especially if the treated areas are on the face. Around 3-10 days after treatment you may experience what seem to be hairs re-growing. Most of these hairs, however, are dead, treated hairs that are being shed and will not re-grow.
Artisan Laser is pleased to offer the world's most advanced treatment for long term hair reduction. We have more than one piece of equipment so that we may provide safe and effective treatments on all skin types, including ethnic skin.
How many treatments will I need?
Lasers work by disrupting hairs that are in the active phase of growth at the time of treatment. Since other hairs will enter the growth phase at different times,
multiple treatments will be necessary to
disable all hair follicles in the treatment area.
