What to Expect From
Laser Hair Removal
There may be a little discomfort, but laser hair removal isn’t painful, and the treatment is done in the comfort of Dr. Spalla’s office to make you feel as comfortable as possible. You and your technician will both wear protective eyewear and soothing aloe gel can be applied afterwards to minimize any lingering discomfort.
Laser hair removal typically requires multiple sessions for optimal results. The number of treatments depends on various factors such as your skin tone and the thickness of your hair. Most people experience minimal discomfort during the procedure and may feel a mild stinging or tingling sensation. Some redness or swelling may occur afterward, but this usually subsides within a few hours.
Benefits of Laser
Hair Removal
Unlike other methods that provide only temporary solutions, laser hair removal offers long-term reduction in hair growth. With multiple sessions, the treated area can remain smooth and hair-free for extended periods. If you’re tired of spending valuable time every week on repetitive grooming routines, we’ve got news for you: laser hair removal eliminates the need for constant maintenance since it targets the root of each unwanted hair follicle.
The laser’s concentrated light energy is absorbed by the pigment in the hair shafts without damaging surrounding skin. This makes laser hair removal highly effective at selectively removing unwanted hairs while leaving your skin unharmed.
Additionally, laser hair removal causes minimal discomfort during treatments unlike waxing or plucking, which can be very uncomfortable to the skin.
Post-Treatment Care for Laser Hair Removal
After your laser hair removal treatment, it’s essential to keep the treated area clean and free from any irritants. Use a gentle cleanser and lukewarm water to cleanse the area twice a day.
To prevent further irritation or damage to the skin, avoid direct sunlight and hot showers or baths for at least 24 hours after treatment. Also, be sure to apply broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher when you go outside.
While it may be tempting, refrain from picking or scratching at any scabs that may develop after your session. This can lead to scarring and delay healing. Remember that everyone’s recovery time varies slightly, so it is important to listen carefully to take our advice to heart and follow it closely.

Clients who are currently tan, or planning to tan between sessions are asked to delay treatments until they are back at their baseline skin tone. If you have any active skin infections or conditions such as lupus or psoriasis, we would need to wait until those areas are under control or simply avoid those sites. Also, we will not laser over any suspicious moles or birthmarks. Finally, the laser should not be performed over areas with tattoos, so we will have to avoid those sites completely.
