If you don’t want to bother waxing or shaving your legs, maybe undergoing hair removal treatments is the perfect solution to finally help you keep your skin free from unwanted, prickly stubble. If this is your first time in laser land, though, here are a few things you’ll need to know beforehand:

What Happens? The treatment basically uses cosmetic laser to target your hair follicles, killing them at the root to stop them from ever coming back. That’s why your doctor cautions you against waxing or plucking the hair prior to the treatment. That’s because you need those hair follicles undisturbed. Otherwise, you’d need to go in for a couple of more treatments until all the unwanted hair is gone.
Reminders

1. Find a reliable clinic. Out of all the places in Rancho Santa Fe that offer laser hair removal treatments, make sure you pick a reliable one. Look into their qualifications or if you want, check out the clinic with a friend and observe the staff. Are they polite and courteous or rude and obnoxious? Are they professional or do you hear some of the staff giggling in the background? You can also research for reviews online. At the first hint of unprofessionalism, though, it might be better for you to check out your other options.
2. Be realistic about your expectations, says Buzzfeed. One session won’t take away all the unwanted hair. That’s because your hair doesn’t quite grow at the same time. So you’ll need about 5-6 batches before you see any earth-shattering changes. Just be patient. Keep at it till the end and you’ll be rewarded with amazing results.
3. Treatment can range from 30 minutes to an hour. It really all depends on how much area the doctor or hair removal specialist needs to cover. If you’re having your underarms and bikini lines treated, then these are quick treatments so you can easily schedule this during your lunch hour. If you’re having your legs done, expect the treatment to take more time. You might have to pencil this into your schedule on a weekend just to be safe.

These reminders will serve you well when you’re finally counting down to D-day. Also, make sure you follow all of the do’s and don’ts before the procedure. That’ll help you get ready for the treatment. For any questions, clarifications or appointments, call us at the Rejeuvine Medspa Carlsbad today.
