What is Hair Removal?

Hair removal is the process of eliminating unwanted body hair through a variety of methods. These methods range from temporary solutions, such as shaving and waxing, to more permanent options, like laser hair removal and electrolysis.

How does Laser work on Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal involves using a focused beam of light energy to target and harm hair follicles, leading to a reduction in future hair growth. This method is highly precise, as the laser specifically targets the dark pigment in the hair while keeping the surrounding skin unharmed. At Timeless, we utilize state-of-the-art laser technologies that are compatible with all skin types, guaranteeing a safe and effective treatment for all individuals.

Preparing for Laser Hair Removal

For optimal results with your laser hair removal treatment, proper preparation is crucial:

  • Avoid Sun Exposure: Keep the treatment areas shielded from the sun for at least six weeks prior to your session. Sunburned or tanned skin can complicate the procedure and increase the risk of side effects.
  • Shave the Area: Shave the treatment area 24-48 hours before your appointment. This helps minimize surface irritation and allows the laser to target the hair follicle more effectively.
  • Skip Other Hair Removal Methods: Avoid plucking, waxing, or using depilatory creams on the treatment area for at least six weeks before your session. These methods remove the hair root, which the laser needs to target.
  • Cleanse the Skin: On the day of your appointment, ensure the treatment area is clean and free of makeup, creams, or lotions. Residues can impact the effectiveness of the treatment.
  • Discuss Medications: Some medications, especially those that are photosensitive, can influence the treatment’s outcome. Inform your technician about any medications you’re taking to ensure safety.

IPL Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) both reduce hair but work differently. Laser hair removal uses a single wavelength for more effective, long-term results, while IPL's broad spectrum treats various skin issues but is less focused on hair removal and often requires more sessions.

At Timeless, we use precise medical-grade lasers that safely treat darker skin tones, unlike IPL, which has a higher burn risk for darker skin due to its broader spectrum.
