Is Laser Hair Removal Painful?

Laser hair removal is a very tolerable procedure for most patients. However, if you feel discomfort, you can request a topical analgesic to be applied. Typically, the tiny high-heat laser beams might feel like a rubber band snapping against your skin, but nothing more than that. After the treatment, you may experience mild discomfort, such as redness, irritation, and mild sunburn.

How Many Appointments Will I Need?

After the first treatment, you can expect up to 25% less hair than before. Most patients need between two and six treatments, depending on the size of the area being treated and the thickness and density of the hair. After finishing the treatments, most patients do not see any hair on their treated skin for several months or even years, and if it does grow back, it is usually sparse, thinner, and lighter in color.

How Long Until I See the Results?

Laser hair removal results are cumulative, meaning they get better with more treatments. Initially, the hair thins, then starts shedding, and finally stops growing. Results vary depending on individual genetics of hair thickness, density, and quality. Laser hair removal doesn’t always guarantee permanent hair removal.

Can I Combine Laser Hair Removal with Other Procedures?

Yes, you can! Our patients who have received laser hair removal treatment in Chino and the greater Inland Empire area have combined it with other med spa procedures, such as BOTOX and wrinkle Relaxers , Lip Fillers , or an IPL Photofacial .

What’s the First Step?

The first step to getting laser hair removal in Chino and the greater Inland Empire area is scheduling an in-person visit with our highly trained Bella Sol Med Spa providers. During your consultation, you will have the opportunity to discuss your aesthetic goals and expectations. You will also be asked about your health history. For instance, someone other than you might be a suitable candidate for this procedure if you are on antibiotics or other photosensitizing medications. Your provider will then examine your target areas of concern to see if this is the best treatment for you, outlining the pros and cons of laser hair removal. This procedure is safe on all skin types but has a higher success rate where the hair and skin color contrast is high.

The face, chest, and neck are the most popular areas for treatment, but this procedure can be used on most of the body. At the end of the consultation, we aim to arrive at a mutually agreed-upon treatment plan, after which a patient coordinator can help you schedule your procedure for a convenient time.

What to Expect on the Day of a Laser Hair Removal Treatment

On your laser hair removal day, our team will welcome you and get you settled in the procedure room. They will review your treatment plan once more to ensure you have no outlying concerns and questions. Finally, a cold gel or a cooling device may be applied to protect the skin and make you comfortable.

During the procedure, you will be given protective eyewear. Finally, your provider will deliver pulses of light to the target area. It will feel like a rubber band snapping, so you might have slight discomfort. Initial treatments are always more uncomfortable as the hair follicle is the thickest, and the sensation is new.

Depending on the size of the target area, the entire process can take anywhere from a few minutes to an hour.

Laser Hair Removal Recovery

Once you are done, you might receive a cooling ointment or ice packs to ease any redness and pain. After that, you will receive a detailed set of post-treatment instructions, including avoiding sun exposure for at least two weeks to a month after the treatment.

We recommend that patients avoid any heat treatments for a week and avoid excessive scrubbing or pressure on the area.

Activities such as shaving, hot baths, saunas, exercising, swimming in a chlorine pool, using makeup fragrances, or engaging in any hair removal method are to be avoided for up to 72 hours after treatment, preferably for a whole week.

Laser Hair Removal Cost
