Your Laser Hair Removal Treatment
Sciton laser hair removal treatment targets hair follicles with precision by utilizing a computer-guided scanning system to quickly and evenly treat the targeted area. Before treatment, your skin will be cleaned and shaved, and a cooling gel will be applied to protect the area and minimize discomfort.
During your treatment, our highly-trained certified professionals will place a glass-surfaced treatment device directly onto the targeted area and gently glide it over the skin’s surface as it targets and destroys hair follicles. You may experience a slight snapping sensation as the laser pulses. However, the cooling gel should help this mild discomfort.
The time it takes to complete your session will depend on the size of the treatment area.
Laser Hair Removal Downtime
Mild swelling and redness may initially occur but should dissipate several hours after the laser hair removal treatment. While less common, some blistering and pimples may also develop the first few days following treatment. So, keeping the area clean and moisturized is essential as your skin heals.
While there is no significant downtime after treatment, you should avoid direct sun exposure for 2 to 4 weeks before and after each session.
It’s important to remember that while laser hair removal is an effective solution for long-term hair reduction, you will most likely need multiple treatments to achieve optimal results. This is because the laser is only capable of addressing hair follicles that are in an active growth phase.
The size of the treatment area, amount of unwanted hair, and your body’s response to treatment will determine your treatment plan. Most people have around 4 to 8 treatment sessions spaced 1 month apart to achieve their desired outcome. Since everyone’s needs are different, our providers will discuss your treatment options at your consultation.
