Laser Hair Removal

What is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is a popular cosmetic treatment that uses a concentrated beam of light to destroy hair follicles, preventing hair growth in the treated area. It is a long-lasting hair removal solution that can save you time, effort, and money in the long run.

At Beauty Gene we use Soprano Titanium Laser Hair Removal which is an advanced and virtually pain-free hair removal method that uses a combination of laser wavelengths and cooling technology to provide precise and comfortable treatment. It’s safe and effective for all skin types, including darker skin tones, and offers long-lasting results with minimal upkeep.

All Skin Type's Can Have a Laser Hair Removal?

Soprano Titanium Laser Hair Removal is safe and effective for all skin types, including darker skin tones. This is because it uses a unique combination of laser wavelengths and advanced cooling technology to provide precise and comfortable treatment while avoiding damage to the surrounding skin.

In the past, traditional laser hair removal methods were not always suitable for darker skin types due to the risk of burns, scars, and discolouration. However, with the development of newer laser technologies, like the Soprano Titanium, people with darker skin tones can now safely and effectively undergo laser hair removal treatments.

It’s important to note that while Soprano Titanium Laser Hair Removal is safe for all skin types, the specific settings and approach used may vary based on factors like skin type, hair colour, and hair thickness. For this reason, it’s important to consult with a trained and experienced laser hair removal provider who can customise your treatment plan to your unique needs and goals.

Benefits of Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal offers several benefits over traditional hair removal methods such as shaving, waxing, and plucking. Here are some of the key benefits of laser hair removal:

  1. Precision: Laser hair removal targets hair at the follicle level, leaving the surrounding skin unharmed.

  2. Efficiency: Unlike traditional hair removal methods, which require regular maintenance, laser hair removal offers long-lasting results, reducing the need for frequent touch-ups.

  3. Safety: Laser hair removal is a safe and FDA-approved method for hair removal. When performed by a trained professional, it poses little risk of complications.

  4. Versatility: Laser hair removal can be performed on almost any part of the body, including the face, underarms, legs, and bikini area.

  5. Cost-effective: While laser hair removal may seem expensive initially, it can save money over time compared to the cost of frequent waxing or shaving.

  6. Improved Skin Quality: Laser hair removal can improve the texture and tone of the skin, as it reduces ingrown hairs and inflammation caused by other hair removal methods.

Before the treatment

Here are some general tips on what to do before laser hair removal treatment:

  1. Shave the treatment area: It’s recommended to shave the treatment area before your appointment, as this allows the laser to target the hair follicles more effectively.

  2. Avoid sun exposure: It’s important to avoid sun exposure before your laser hair removal treatment, as sunburned skin is more sensitive and can be damaged by the laser. If you can’t avoid sun exposure, use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher to protect your skin.

  3. Avoid certain skincare products: Avoid using any skincare products that contain retinoids, alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), or beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) for at least a week before your treatment, as these can increase skin sensitivity.

  4. Avoid waxing, plucking, or electrolysis: It’s important to avoid these hair removal methods for at least six weeks before your laser hair removal treatment, as they can interfere with the hair follicles and make the laser treatment less effective.

  5. Avoid perfumes and lotions: Avoid using any perfumes, lotions, or other products on the treatment area on the day of your appointment, as these can interfere with the laser and cause skin irritation.

  6. Communicate with your provider: It’s important to communicate with your laser hair removal provider about any medications you are taking, any medical conditions you have, or any concerns you may have about the procedure.

During the treatment

During a Soprano Titanium Laser Hair Removal treatment, a handheld device is used to deliver targeted laser energy to the hair follicles. The device emits a combination of different wavelengths of light, allowing it to effectively target different hair types and skin tones.

Unlike traditional laser hair removal methods, Soprano Titanium uses advanced cooling technology to keep the skin comfortable during the treatment, minimising any discomfort or pain. The device is moved over the skin in a systematic way, targeting each area for a precise amount of time to ensure optimal results.

Depending on the size of the treatment area, the procedure may take anywhere from a few minutes to an hour. The number of sessions required will depend on factors such as hair thickness, colour, and the individual’s skin type.

During the procedure, clients can expect to feel a mild warming sensation on the skin, but the advanced cooling technology helps to keep any discomfort to a minimum. After the treatment, some mild redness or swelling may occur, but this typically subsides within a few hours. Clients should avoid sun exposure and follow post-treatment care instructions provided by their laser hair removal provider to optimise their results.

After the treatment

  1. Avoid sun exposure: Protect your treated skin from the sun for at least 2 weeks post-treatment. Excessive sun exposure can lead to hyperpigmentation or burns. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher when you need to be outdoors.

  2. Keep the area clean: Gently cleanse the treated area with a mild soap and water. Avoid scrubbing or rubbing the skin, as this can cause irritation.

  3. Moisturise: Keep your skin well-hydrated by applying a gentle, fragrance-free moisturiser. Avoid any products containing alcohol or harsh chemicals, as they can further irritate the skin.

  4. Avoid heat: Refrain from taking hot showers, baths, or using saunas for at least 48 hours after treatment. Heat can cause additional irritation and increase the risk of side effects.

  5. Don’t pluck or wax: After laser hair removal, avoid plucking or waxing any hairs that may remain in the treated area. These methods can disrupt the hair follicle and negatively impact the effectiveness of the laser treatment. Instead, allow the hairs to shed naturally over time.

  6. Wear loose clothing: Avoid tight clothing that may rub against the treated area, causing friction and irritation. Opt for loose, breathable fabrics to promote healing.

Timeline for Treatments of Laser Hair Removal

1st Treatment

The first initial treatment is said to have the most noticeable effects as it ‘shocks’ the follicles with the treatment. The heat from the laser either weakens or destroys the hair follicle. Immediately after, the skin may be red and swollen – clients can experience a ‘sunburn sensation.’ This is normal and will subside after a few hours.

5-19 Days Post-1st Treatment

The destroyed hair follicles eventually give-way and the hair begins to shed and fall. Clients can expect to see hair-thinning and patchiness; some areas may even appear completely hair-free.

Week 6-8: 2nd Treatment

The 2nd treatment sees greater results as the body hair goes through its’ resting and growth cycle, which is why a series of follow-up treatments are scheduled accordingly.

5-19 Days Post-2nd Treatment

The process repeats and the hair begins to fall from new areas.

Week 12-16: 3rd Treatment

The hair growth is now noticeably slowing down but it’s important to attend your treatment sessions! Although it may not seem like you need to, it’s vital and all a part of the process.

5-19 Days Post-3rd Treatment

The process repeats and the hair begins to fall from new areas.

Week 18-24: 4th Treatment

Between sessions, you can shave any hair re-growth but you’ll be happy to know, by this point it’ll be very patchy if not minimal.

5-19 Days Post-4th Treatment

The process repeats and the hair begins to fall from new areas.

Week 24-32: 5th Treatment

You can expect the area to feel smooth and appear hair-free!

5-19 Days Post-5th Treatment

The process repeats and the hair begins to fall from new areas.

Week 30-40: 6th & Final Treatment

After you have competed a full course, you can expect anything from 80% + reduction in hair growth.

5-19 Days Post-6th Treatment

After the course is complete, the treated area will feel smooth with a permanent reduction in hair growth.
