In a better world, you wouldn’t have to worry about unwanted hair or ingrown ones. You wouldn’t have to shave, tweeze or wax. But since that isn’t the case, dealing with unwanted hair be annoying. One way to get rid of unwanted hair forever, though, is to go for a laser hair removal in Carlsbad. Here are a few of the things you should know about the procedure before you go for one:

The basics

Clear the basics out of the way first. Make sure the doctor or technician performing the procedure is licensed and certified for the work. Only go to qualified technicians for treatment to ensure your safety.

Don’t pluck or wax

If you plan on undergoing a laser hair removal in Carlsbad, then remember not to wax or pluck any of the unwanted hair. The treatment targets the roots so if there aren’t any, then the hair will just grow back in.

Skip the beach

It would be better to go for a hair removal treatment during the cold winter months. That’s because you need to avoid exposing the skin to sun to six weeks before and after the treatment. Exposure can reduce the effectiveness of the treatment. It can also lead to complications. So if you don’t want to risk getting your skin irritated or having to spend on more treatments because the previous ones didn’t work, then you’ll want to schedule this when you’re planning to spend a lot of time at home. If you have trips to the beach, you’ll need to skip them.

Duration

Treatments are often quick and can last for no more than 15 minutes to half an hour. Then you’ll need to schedule your next one. That makes it easy for you to set an appointment during the weekday and still be back in plenty of time.

Protection

Depending on the kind of light source used, you might need to wear eye protection. No worries. Your technician will likely provide you with one. If they don’t and they recognize or aren’t aware of the risks, you might want to go to another spa.

Results

These are visible only after 3 to 5 sessions. So don’t expect to see all the hair fall off after your first session. Be realistic with your expectations. Give it time.
