How To Speed Up Laser Hair Removal

You may wonder if you can speed up the Laser hair removal process. Instead of speeding up the process, it’s wiser to focus on ways to ensure your laser hair removal gets the best results. At Lexington Tattoo Removal in Lexington, KY, our specialists will sit down with you and provide information about your laser hair removal plan and what to expect. Following the specialists’ steps will lead to the best results in the shortest period. Learn whether you can speed up laser hair removal, the best steps, and some things you shouldn’t do.

How Long Does Laser Hair Removal Take?

Laser hair removal leads to permanent hair removal anywhere on your body that you’d like. However, getting those results requires carefully going over the same area several times because not all hair grows simultaneously. Only about 30% of your hair grows at any time, and our lasers will only work on actively growing hair. That means it usually takes at least six sessions to fully remove the hair. We recommend a 4 to 6-week interval between sessions to give your hair time to fall out and start to grow back. Each time, your hair will be thinner.

Is Laser Hair Removal Fast?

The actual hair removal procedure is very swift, depending on the amount of hair targeted.

Your skin is cooled using our Zimmer Cryo, and then the laser is applied to the hair follicles to heat them until they reach the damage point and the hair can’t grow back. A small area, like an upper lip, will only take a few minutes, but a large area, like your legs or back, can take up to an hour. 

Are There Ways to Speed Up Laser Hair Removal?

There aren’t ways to speed up laser hair removal because it’s dependent on the amount of active hair growth you have. However, there are several things you can do to make each session as effective as possible. This might not speed up laser hair removal, but it will help keep you on track and keep your skin from experiencing damage from the laser. Try these things, which your specialist will also discuss with you:

• Avoid sun exposure so there’s a clear difference between skin and hair tone
• Skip the tanning beds for four weeks after and two weeks before each procedure
• Care for your skin after each procedure as though you’ve had a mild sunburn
• Remove makeup and tanner from the area
• Avoid Accutane for six months before starting
• Avoid photosensitive medications for a week before treatment
• Shave your skin with a fresh razor just before treatment
