How does laser hair removal work?
Laser hair removal with the Icon laser platform uses light energy to penetrate down to the follicles from which hair grows. The pigment in the follicles absorbs the energy and heats up so they’re rendered inactive and unable to grow hair.
What are the benefits of laser hair removal?
Laser hair removal means you can say good-bye to razors and waxing appointments for the long term. The treatment is effective in helping you remove uncomfortable and unattractive extra hair in just about any area of your body.
The Icon technology for laser hair removal leaves surrounding skin unaffected while effectively targeting your hair. You get permanent hair reduction in just a few simple treatments.
What areas can be treated with laser hair removal?
Just about anywhere with unwanted hair can be treated with laser hair removal, including:
- Legs and arms
- Underarms
- Back and chest
- Face
- Bikini area
Laser hair removal is appropriate for both men and women. It can effectively target large and small areas equally.
Does laser hair removal hurt?
You’ll feel some heat and tingling during treatment at Inland Wellness & Vitality, but the process is quick and most patients tolerate it well. After the procedure, the team provides you with ice packs and anti-inflammatory creams to ease any discomfort.
Expect to have a little redness in the treated areas for a few hours after treatment.
How long is recovery following laser hair removal?
You don’t need to schedule any planned downtime following Icon laser hair removal. You’ll need to take extra care to apply sunscreen to the treated areas if you plan to be out in the sun. Skin that’s undergone laser hair removal is temporarily extra sensitive to UV light.
How many laser hair removal treatments will I need for results?
Most people see the best results after 3-7 sessions. The exact number of sessions you’ll need depends on your skin type and your unwanted hair’s color, thickness, and density. Thick, dark hair tends to require a greater number of sessions.
