Los Angeles Laser Hair Removal ProgramBefore and After Photos
These are the questions we feel you should be asking and why when trying to choose a Los Angeles laser hair removal practitioner and facility/office.
1. How many laser hair removal procedures has the practitioner doing the treatment performed? Because there are no training requirements in the state of California for laser hair reduction, you do not require previous experience to perform procedures. It is important that the nurse or physician performing your procedures is experienced for safety reasons as well as because you will generally get better results with a practitioner that has lots of experience with many different skin types and multiple lasers.
2. What kind of laser is being used for my laser hair removal? This is a big issue that consumers very often overlook. If a laser that a particular practitioner has is not ideal for your skin and hair type it can lead to suboptimal results. This means that it can take far more treatments to get the same amount of hair reduction and/or it might not work well at all , and you will not get a high percentage of hair reduction.
3. How many laser hair removal treatments will be required? The number of treatments required is related to points 1 and 2 above. If the correct laser is used and an experienced practitioner is doing the treatments, you will limit the amount of treatments required.
4. What percentage of hair can I be expected to lose? For our patients, we set the expectation that 6-8 treatments will yield a loss of 70% - 95%. With that said, some patients may need more treatments to achieve this and some less. It depends on the type of hair, skin and the laser used.
5. How often will I be treated? This depends to some extent on the area of the body being treated, but when multiple areas are involved, the average time between treatments is 6-8 weeks.
6. What is the percentage of treatments that have side effects? In our practice, we see about 3 in 1,000 treatments where an unexpected side effect has occurred. This rate can be much higher if the practitioner is not using the correct laser for your skin type.
To ensure that you achieve the results you are looking for and that you are being treated by an experienced laser hair removal practitioner in a safe environment, be sure to do several consultations and ask a lot of questions. Be informed about the laser that is most often used for your skin type and make sure to find a practitioner and facility/office that has it.
