Q. What are Six Things I Should Know About Laser Hair Removal?
A.
Yes! Laser hair removal is great, but it's not a "one-and-done" treatment. Here are 6 things you should know before getting laser hair removal:
- It may take 6-7 treatments or more to remove most of the hair.
- Treatment with a hair removal laser results in a reduction of the hair follicles, but it may not completely remove all of the hair. This is due to the fact that hair follicles go through growth cycles, and they may not be growing at every hair laser removal treatment. In fact, hair follicles may arise in treated areas up to a year later. Check with your Calgary plastic surgery specialist, Dr. Zakhary, to see what the options and charges are in case this happens.
- Many areas can be treated. The main areas that you can treat include the face, underarms, forearms, bikini lines, and back.
- Men and women can both be treated.
- The cost is very reasonable. Discounts are usually applied when you purchase a package instead of individual treatments.
- Look at the qualifications of the person performing your laser hair removal. Complications such as redness, infection, and pain can occur, so make sure you will be taken care of in case anything happens. Rest assured that Dr. Zakhary's technician is fully trained and qualified, and Dr. Zakhary herself is always available if any complications occur in her clinic.
All in all, laser hair removal should be a smooth process for you! Call 403-450-3759 to schedule an initial consultation with American Board of Facial Plastic Surgery-certified surgeon, Dr. Zakhary, to discuss laser hair removal options for a smooth, hair free skin!
