Laser hair removal in Bellevue is an alternative to shaving, waxing, depilatories, plucking, and electrolysis. In addition to immediate hair removal, it provides long-term growth delay and permanent hair reduction. Laser hair removal is a fast, highly accurate, and virtually pain-free way to remove hair. We have two dedicated suites in our office with highly skilled estheticians. We use the LightSheer Duet Diode Laser by Lumenis, the most advanced hair removal technology available today. The greatest advantages of the LightSheer Duet are speed and patient comfort. A full back or leg treatment can be completed in as little as 20 minutes. The high-speed handpiece uses a gentle vacuum to stretch your skin, which allows the laser to target the hair more effectively with less skin discomfort. In most cases, the laser treatment does not even require a topical anesthetic, though your esthetician can apply one at your request.
You will want to shave the treatment area a day in advance of your laser hair removal appointment in Bellevue to minimize any discomfort, and you should avoid intense sun exposure or tanning 4 weeks prior to treatment.
A small area can be treated in minutes, and even large areas rarely take more than an hour. The aesthetician will apply a cold gel to the treatment area and provide you with eye protection. The LightSheer Duet handpiece will be placed against your skin, and your laser hair removal treatment in Bellevue will begin. Pain is minimal. You will feel a sensation like a small rubber band being snapped against your skin, followed by a gentle, warm sensation.
You can resume normal activities almost immediately after your laser hair removal procedure in Bellevue. The appearance of your skin will vary depending on your treatment area, hair type, and skin type. You should wash the area with mild soap to encourage the treated hair to fall out. You can expect to feel some redness and swelling, which can be treated just like sunburn, with hydrocortisone cream or aloe vera. You should avoid excessive sun exposure or tanning and use sunscreen throughout the duration of your treatment. You will be able to shave after a couple of days, but tweezing, waxing, and depilatory creams should be avoided for the duration of your treatment.
Some patients see results immediately, but most patients require 5-6 treatments. Your results will depend on your skin and hair type, the treated area, and the number of treatments. While you will see a permanent hair reduction, it may not remove every hair from the treated area, and you may require touch-up treatments as your body changes with age.
