Laser Hair Removal in Denver - What to Expect
If you have unwanted hair on your body or face, you've probably spent considerable time trying to find a long-term solution. For many people in Denver, Colorado, laser hair removal is an appealing option, especially in light of painful, messy, and time consuming options like plucking, waxing, and shaving.
When it comes to using laser technology to make lasting changes to your appearance, you deserve to understand exactly what the treatment will be like and what results you can expect. First and foremost, keep in mind that laser hair removal in Denver is a medical procedure and should be performed only by a highly trained and experienced professional.
Your Laser Hair Removal Treatment
Today, lasers are used in a variety of medical applications, with laser technology that is safer than ever, so there is no need to be apprehensive about laser energy being applied to your skin. When performed by a highly trained practitioner, this procedure has an excellent track record of safety and effectiveness.
Each of our Denver, Colorado laser hair removal patients will require several visits to the office to achieve optimal hair reduction. This procedure cannot be completed in a single visit because hair grows in cycles, and some of the follicles will be in an inactive stage when you first come in for treatment. Even so, your series of five to seven treatments will be conveniently scheduled and in most cases will not take more than an hour for each visit.
During each treatment, one of the laser hair removal specialists at Rejuvenate will move a hand-held laser device across your skin in the area to be treated. When the laser is activated, its light energy passes through the skin, specifically targeting the hair follicles, which are damaged by intense heat. The skin itself remains cool through the application of a topical cooling gel. Read our frequent questions about laser hair removal in Denver for more information about treatment.
Setting Expectations for Recovery & Results
Some redness and swelling can be expected after each laser hair removal treatment session, but these aftereffects should diminish within a few hours. Depending on your skin sensitivity, some dryness or irritation may occur as a result of the laser treatments so it is important to take particularly mindful care of your skin in the days following treatment, including using gentle cleansers, applying moisturizers, avoiding sun exposure, and limiting exercise, since perspiration may make the skin feel more irritated.
Laser hair removal treatments can reduce the amount of hair in a treatment area by up to 90%. Keep in mind that results will vary from person to person. As a general rule, multiple treatments will lead to a greater degree of hair reduction, and periodic maintenance treatments may be necessary to maintain optimal skin smoothness. Our laser hair removal professionals will be able to give you a better sense of the amount of hair reduction they believe is possible for you when you come in for a consultation.
