Laser Treatment FAQ in Rapid City, SD
What are the risks of laser therapy?
The laser light beam does not pose health risks to the patient or medical team. Laser treatment has the same risks as open surgery, including pain, bleeding, and scarring. But recovery time from laser surgery is usually faster than recovery from open surgery. Lasers can be used for many medical purposes.
Does laser hurt for the first time?
The more sensitive the skin is to begin with, the more painful it’ll likely be. To minimize pain, your provider may rub a numbing cream into your skin prior to the procedure. Depending on the body part and your pain tolerance, you may not need any numbing cream at all.
How soon after laser can you shower?
How long after laser hair removal can I shower? Ideally 24 hours, but if you must shower wait at least 6-8 hours after your session. Use tepid water and avoid using any harsh products, scrubs, exfoliating mitts, loofahs or sponges on your treatment area.
Why am I growing facial hair?
Hirsutism is linked to hormones called androgens. It can happen if the level of these hormones increases or if your body becomes more sensitive to them. The most common cause is polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). This is a condition affecting the ovaries that can also cause symptoms such as acne and irregular periods.
What are the disadvantages of laser treatment for face?
Burns or other injuries from the laser’s heat. Scarring. Changes in the skin’s pigmentation, including areas of darker or lighter skin. Reactivating herpes cold sores. Bacterial infection.
Does hair grow between laser sessions?
It’s perfectly normal for some hair to grow in after each laser session as each hair is in a different stage of the growth cycle. This is why several laser treatments are required at 10 weeks apart to achieve complete hair removal.
What will happen if I stop laser hair removal?
If you stop laser hair removal too early, you’ll likely be left with something around the percentage that is there now. Once the particular follicle is dead it won’t regrow, but new ones can be triggered by hormonal changes.
Can hair grow back after laser?
After your laser session, the growth of new hair will be less noticeable. However, even though laser treatments damage hair follicles, they’re not destroyed completely. Over time, the treated follicles may recover from the initial damage and grow hair again.
Can I wear pants after laser?
The biggest thing for aftercare treatment is to not wear tight clothing or workout. So don’t do hot yoga right after a session. I’ve worn jeans after, leggings, it’s fine. But everyone may be different.
What to expect after first laser session?
Week 1: 1st Treatment The heat from the laser either weakens or completely destroys the hair follicle. Immediately after, the skin may be red and swollen – clients can experience a ‘sun-burn sensation’ this is normal and will subside after a few hours.
How many sessions of laser till you see results?
It’s important to complete the initial course of 10 treatments and at consistent intervals for optimal results. We recommend a series of 8-12 treatments done at monthly intervals and maintenance treatments every 2-3 months for permanent hair reduction.
Are laser levels expensive?
The most common type of laser level is the Huepar Box-1G, an affordable model that can be bought for under $100. More expensive laser levels, such as the Topcon RL-H5A, are available for higher prices and are generally more accurate and reliable.
