Why Your Laser Hair Removal Didn’t Work

Laser Hair Removal (LHR) …a seemingly wondrous gift from the beauty gods to women and men alike who are trying to get rid of stubborn unwanted hair. Well, it can be a gift, if you ensure that it is performed at a reputable place with reputable equipment, by trained professionals. Just like using a cheap styling tool versus a professional grade, what you save in initial cost end up costing you more time and money in the long run to achieve a mediocre result.

To achieve truly permanent hair removal, the laser system must be able to effectively treat different hair types and colors as well as the various skin types while providing maximum skin protection. The laser’s wavelength, pulse duration and spot size determine the effectiveness of the treatment (on all skin types) and also influence the depth of penetration and treatment speed. Most commercial low-end systems can only treat select hair combinations. At Beautique, we use the Lumenis LightSheer System which has revolutionized the medical and surgical industries with its advancements in laser aided treatments. This allows us to treat any hair type, on any skin tone, in any location, at a fraction of the time of traditional laser hair removal methods.

All technicians at Beautique are certified and pass an extensive training program provided by Lumenis. We can ensure that the most effective treatment plan is in place for your unique skin and hair type. You cannot trust just anyone with a laser! If you have had this procedure done before and found that it wasn’t successful, we imagine it was probably very upsetting and frustrating! The good news is that it can be successful and we can help you achieve your hair reduction goals.

So why does LHR require multiple sessions? Why has my hair grown back in the past? These are great and valid questions. It takes an average of 4-6 sessions to see permanent hair loss depending on the area—but it does vary from person to person. Some people see success after a couple of sessions and others need 8 or more in one given area.  It might help to understand the body’s natural hair growth cycles.

There are 3 hair growth cycles.

All of our hair follicles – on our head, face, and body – are in different phases of the cycle. When you come in for LHR, each of your follicles each reacts to the treatment differently depending on where they are in their cycle. This is why multiple treatments are needed to achieve permanent hair loss. With the right sessions, over the course of a plan, you will achieve permanent results. If Laser Hair Removal has been something you’ve been think about, or you have had it done in the past elsewhere without success, we encourage you to schedule a consultation with one of our technicians. We are ready to answer your questions and discuss your concerns.
