Here's everything you need to know before your first appointment.

What Is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is a non-invasive treatment that uses concentrated light energy to target hair follicles. The pigment within the hair absorbs the laser energy, which is then converted into heat. This heat damages the follicle and inhibits future hair growth.

While results vary from person to person, laser hair removal can significantly reduce hair growth, leaving skin smoother and easier to maintain.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

Laser hair removal is suitable for most adults looking to reduce unwanted hair on areas such as:

• Face
• Underarms
• Arms
• Legs
• Bikini area
• Brazilian area
• Back
• Chest
• Neck
• Shoulders

At Body Krush, our Diode Laser is designed to be safe and effective for a wide range of skin and hair types.

Before Your Treatment

To achieve the best possible results, it's important to properly prepare for your appointment.

Before Your Session:

• Shave the treatment area 24 hours before your appointment
• Stay hydrated
• Avoid excessive sun exposure and tanning
• Avoid waxing, tweezing, or threading for several weeks before treatment

Inform your provider about any medications or skin concerns

Hair follicles need to be present beneath the skin for the laser to effectively target them, which is why shaving is recommended instead of waxing or plucking.

What Happens During Treatment?

Your provider will begin by preparing the treatment area and adjusting the laser settings based on your skin type and treatment goals.

During the procedure:

• The laser delivers pulses of light energy into the hair follicles
• The follicle absorbs the energy and converts it into heat
• The follicle becomes damaged, reducing future hair growth
• Multiple follicles are treated simultaneously for efficiency

Many clients describe the sensation as a quick snapping or warming feeling against the skin. Treatment times vary depending on the size of the area being treated, but most appointments are relatively quick and comfortable.

What Can I Expect After Treatment?

Immediately following treatment, it is normal to experience:

• Mild redness
• Slight sensitivity
• Temporary warmth in the treated area

These effects typically fade within a few hours to a couple of days.

Aftercare Tips

• Use sunscreen on treated areas exposed to sunlight
• Avoid excessive heat for 24-48 hours
• Avoid hot tubs, saunas, and intense workouts immediately after treatment
• Follow all aftercare instructions provided by your practitioner
• Keep the skin moisturized and protected

How Many Sessions Will I Need?

Hair grows in cycles, and laser treatment is most effective during the active growth phase.

For this reason, multiple sessions are required to achieve optimal results.

At Body Krush, we typically recommend:

• 8-12 treatment sessions
• Treatments spaced approximately 6 weeks apart
• Annual maintenance sessions as needed

Each treatment progressively reduces hair growth, resulting in smoother skin over time.
