Introduction

Introduction to Laser Hair Removal

If you are frustrated by unwanted hair on your face and body and are seeking a streamlined, painless way to restore smooth skin, you may be an excellent candidate for laser hair removal at The Block-Wheeler Clinic in San Francisco, CA. Gone are the days of painful hair removal methods like tweezing, shaving, waxing, and electrolysis. With laser hair removal, patients can enjoy a quick, seamless treatment.

What Is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is an alternative to other, less convenient and more time-consuming methods, like shaving, waxing, and tweezing. The treatment helps patients feel more confident in their appearance and enjoy greater comfort and peace of mind. During your session, powerful laser energy pulses are emitted, targeting the pigment in the hair follicles. Once the follicles soak up the thermal energy, they are unable to produce new hairs, resulting in smoother skin. With multiple laser hair removal sessions at our state-of-the-art practice in San Francisco, patients gradually become hair-free.

Ideal candidates for laser hair removal are healthy individuals with realistic expectations. The laser treats dark hair more effectively. Clients should avoid tanning around the time of hair removal.

What to Expect on the Day of Laser Hair Removal Treatment

On the day of your procedure, we will welcome you warmly into our San Francisco offices and place you in a comfortable treatment room, prepping your skin with a topical anesthetic to maximize your comfort. Once you are relaxed and ready, the laser device will be passed across the targeted regions of the skin. The powerful laser energy will destroy hair follicles, preventing them from producing hair. Treatment is accompanied by built-in cooling technology that further enhances your peace of mind and relaxation. The laser is designed to target hair follicles without damaging the surrounding healthy skin cells.

Laser Hair Removal Recovery

After laser hair removal, there is no recovery time required. This ensures that our busy, active patients in and beyond San Francisco can quickly resume their normal schedules with minimal interruptions. Mild side effects can include redness, swelling, or tenderness. For the first 24 hours after your appointment, avoid exposure to intense heat and steer clear of the sun’s harmful UV rays, as your skin will be especially sensitive. Refrain from using harsh skincare products or exfoliation agents at first and give your complexion plenty of time to recuperate. You will need to refrain from tanning before and during the treatment period.
