About Laser Hair Removal
The removal of unwanted body hair is often part of our daily routines. Shaving, waxing, plucking, and other methods are all commonplace. For people who no longer want these activities to be part of their everyday life, or who have unwanted hair in places it may be difficult to get rid of, laser hair removal offers a way to see long lasting and frequently permanent results.
How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
Laser hair removal uses concentrated beams of light to prevent hair follicles from growing hair. Like many other laser procedures, it relies on melanin. During treatment, the laser’s light beams are absorbed by the pigment in your hair. It targets the hair follicles via the melanin produced in your hair.
Once it reaches the hair follicle, the light energy is converted into heat where it damages the follicles to inhibit future hair growth. Laser removal requires multiple sessions to target your hair at all stages of growth. As an example, at your first session, only a portion of hair follicles are treated because hair follicles can lay dormant for weeks. Hair follicles alternate on which produce hair and which do not. This explains why multiple sessions are required for the best results.

At Home vs. Professional Laser Hair Removal
A variety of at home laser removal devices and kits are available. They are initially tempting because it allows you to do it yourself at home. Are these devices effective? Are they safe?
The answer to both of these questions is no. Lasers sold in stores for hair removal often are not as strong or customizable as professional lasers. While they may come with a few settings, every person receives the same treatment. With professional laser hair removal, the laser settings are personalized to fit you. This reduces the risks of burns and promotes the best results.
Also, at-home laser devices run the risk of burns or permanent skin damage. Master estheticians are trained in laser procedures, including hair removal. Their skill reduces the chances of burns or other risks.
FAQs:-
Most healthy people are good candidates for laser hair removal. Our lasers can treat people of varying skin types and hair colours. Due to the small amounts of melanin in blond, red, grey, and white hair, some people with these hair types may not be good candidates. People with fair skin and light hair run a higher risk of burns and often do not see ideal results. Some people with lighter hair colours are candidates. It depends heavily on your skin tone and hair type.
The number of sessions you will need depends on many factors like the treatment areas, hair type, and growth cycles. Generally, patients see long lasting results after four to six sessions. It is not uncommon for patients to see initial results after their second session. Usually, once you finish your sessions, a yearly maintenance treatment is required to keep optimal results.
Sometimes, although this depends on skin tone and how dark your blonde hair is. Certain parts of the body, such as the armpits and bikini area, may have darker hair that will respond well to treatment. Your Kirkland master esthetician can determine whether you are a candidate.
Traditionally, the best candidates for laser hair removal were patients with fair skin and dark hair. However, laser technology has come a long way in the past few decades, and now some lasers can differentiate between the melanin in skin and hair. Our medical-grade laser falls into this category.
However, patients with a skin tone of four or above on the Fitzpatrick scale may still have a higher risk of hyperpigmentation or damage from the laser. Your master esthetician may recommend brightening cream treatment before the procedure. This cream does not physically change skin tone, but temporarily deactivates melanin to allow the laser to attach more effectively to the melanin in your hair.
