How Does The Sciton Laser Work?
Hair shafts and hair follicles contain melanin (pigment). The light source of the laser targets the melanin and causes thermal damage to the hair shaft and follicle. The hair shaft and follicle shuts down without damaging the skin or tissue, no longer allowing hair to grow.
How Many Treatments Are Necessary?
The number of treatments will vary person to person. However, the average number of treatments is 4 to 6. Your aesthetician will discuss the number of treatments you may require and your treatment plan in your consultation. The number of treatments can not be determined upfront because it depends on how well each patient responds to the laser hair reduction procedure. Typically treatment packages consist of 6 treatments over 6 months for full hair reduction.
WHAT TO EXPECT POST PROCEDURE
There is no downtime following a hair reductions treatment, and you can return to work the same day. You might have a sensation similar to a mild sunburn, lasting for a few days and some follicular edema for after your treatment. After completing the series of treatments, touch up treatments may be needed.
Does Laser Hair Removal Work On Ingrown Hairs?
Yes, you can have laser hair reduction when you have ingrown hairs. The laser penetrates the follicule but doesn’t damage the skin. By destroying the hair-producing follicle with the laser, the medical condition known as ‘folliculitis barbae’ (ingrown hairs) can be improved after the first treatment.
