Why Isn’t Laser Hair Removal Working?
Have you had a few sessions of laser hair removal and it hasn’t worked how you expected it to? It’s frustrating and leaves you feeling deflated, doesn’t it? Don’t worry because Laser it is here for you!
The most common reasons you’re not seeing results are:
- Time between sessions – each area of the body needs a different amount of time between each laser hair removal session. If the amount of time between the laser hair removal treatment is too long or too short, the treatment will not be as effective. It is extremely important to stick to the treatment times as best you can.
- No consultation – every single one of us is different. This is crucial with laser hair removal. During a consultation, your laser hair therapist will assess your skin, go through any medications you are taking, look at your hair and hair follicles and go through current hair removal methods. All questions you have will be answered and a tailored laser hair removal experience will be created for YOU and for YOU ONLY. If you skip this step, the laser machine will NOT work as effectively for you and could be dangerous. Please go to your consultation.
- Poor laser technology – laser hair removal machines have grown rapidly with the increase in technology. There are numerous laser hair machines and different types of lasers that work differently according to your skin. If the incorrect laser is used, you could have ineffective results, or even worse, end up with burning and scarring.
- Plucking your hair – are you plucking your hair between laser sessions instead of shaving? We won’t tell anyone, but please stop. The hair needs to be shaved between sessions to ensure that the laser can be attracted to the pigment in the hair follicle.
- Pre and post treatment – your laser hair removal therapist will have given you pre and post treatment advice. This advice is there to make sure your results are as good as can be. If you haven’t followed the pre and post care advice, start doing so now.
