Although society has slowly shifted opinions and perspectives on hair, many women worldwide feel that removing hair improves their body confidence.

 

This is particularly true for unwanted hair on the face and other body areas, including the legs, underarms, and bikini area.

 

Keeping hair removed is an ongoing chore with home procedures such as shaving, hair removal cream, plucking and tweezing.

 

‘several ‘home laser’ products have appeared on shelves in recent years, like the No! No! and Phillips Lumea, which has a higher price tag.

Professional laser clinics offer medical-grade laser treatment, requiring many visits to achieve lasting results.

 

Clinics use many lasers, including the Alexandrite, Nd: YAG, Diode, and Ruby lasers. Due to the technology used, excellent-quality medical-grade lasers often cost tens of thousands. They can treat different skin and hair types.

 

There are pros and cons to most options.

 

Yet one of the most effective ways to permanently remove hair remains using a clinical diode laser.

 

A smart diode laser damages the hair follicles, preventing new hair from regenerating and growing. Laser technicians will carefully assess an individual’s skin and hair type and select the correct settings to achieve effective results.

 

At Calveo laser hair removal clinic, we use the LightSheer® machine, which incorporates a high-speed vacuum with smart Diode laser technology. Removal. The high-speed vacuum handpiece uses a unique pain reduction mechanism, providing fast, comfortable treatment with no downtime.

While the method may seem straightforward, familiarising yourself with everything involved is essential to ensure successful treatment and following all necessary pre-and post-procedure care.

 

Doing so lets you maximise your sessions and optimise the likelihood of achieving excellent results.

 

Permanent hair removal with any laser hair removal treatment requires multiple sessions. We recommend 6-8 sessions in the clinic, depending on the treatment area.

 

Thahere’s here’s a quick rundown of all the best laser hair removal appointment tips:

 

DON’T1: DON’T TWEEZE OR WAX

Waxing legs

This one is the golden rule, folks! The laser works by picking up the colour (melanin) in the hair follicle.

 

Light from the laser is converted to heat, which then denatures the hair’s root cells and destroys the follicle base cells.

 

Only actively growing hairs are destroyed in any laser session, hence the need to visit 6-8 times to ensure all hairs are destroyed as they cycle through the hair growth process.

 

Eventually, all hair will be destroyed, and you will have smooth, hair-free skin.

 

By waxing or tweezing, you actively remove the hair follicle, and the laser cannot pick up on the colour within the hair, rendering the treatment ineffective.

 

Although pulling out the odd hair may be tempting, remember this is only a short-term fix; once the hair is exposed to the does, n’t doesn’t stand a chance of popping out again!

 

For best results, avoid tweezing or waxing your hair before the appointment, preferably 5 to 6 weeks before each appointment.

 

The best tip we can offer is to hide your tweezers to avoid the urge to pluck those stray hairs and cancel any waxing sessions you may have scheduled on your calendar.

 

Instead of using tweezers and wax strips, consider shaving. Once you complete your laser treatment course, you won’t need to shave again.

 

You’ll want the bulk of the hair removed before the laser, and by shaving off the hair from the surface, you allow the laser to penetrate the hair follicles under your skin entirely. Ensuring the hair is shaved short will also make the treatment much more comfortable.

 

It’s best to shave 24 hours before your appointment and use a new razor!

 

TIP #2: AVOID THE SUN

Avoid the sun

It can be tempting to show off your hair-free legs and underarms, but it’s best to avoid sun exposure before and for at least 72 hours after your first treatment.

 

At Calveo, we recommend waiting four weeks to start laser if you have picked up a good base tan to ensure client safety and achieve the best results.

 

The laser cannot differentiate between melanin in the hair follicles and melanin (tan) on the skin. Hence, the risk of picking up a minor burn is higher if clients come to treatment with healthy tans. The same rule applies to tanning products and creams, so avoid using products with tan enhancers a week before your laser appointments. A good exfoliator is recommended to shift any stubborn areas.

 

Although laser hair removal is generally safe, it involves depositing a significant amount of heat and energy on the skin’s surface.

 

In other words, your skin is already subjected to more heat than it would typically be, precisely enough to remove your hair follicles. If not treated correctly, allowing it to be further exposed to the sun could cause burning and scarring in the treated area.

 

TIP #3: LAY OFF THE PRODUCTS (MAKEUP AND TOPICALS)

Bathing and showering before your appointment is ideal, but be sure to arrive without makeup, serums, lotions, or even you’ll

 

You’ll want your skin to be as natural as possible, without any substances covering your skin.

 

This can afflaser’s laser’s ability to locate and target your hair follicles, resulting in a failed process.

 

It helps to have your skin shaved and cleaned, but remember never to apply products, ensuring you gain the best results!

 

One little-known fact is to check if any products you use at home contain lanolin, which stimulates hair growth.

 

It’s also vital to let your practitioner know if you have made any changes in your medical history. Medications, including antibiotics and roaccutane (acne medication), for example, have photosensitive properties that can affect laser treatment, so always check if in doubt.

 

MAKING THE MOST OF YOUR LASER HAIR REMOVAL TREATMENTS

Due to their quick and painless methods, Diode laser hair removal treatments continue to take the world by storm. Once treatment is over, you’ll want to stroll along the beach confidently, sporting your best outfits.

 

At Calveo, many clients start with one area and understandably want to see the treatment working. Once they get results, they tend to add more regions.

 

Although waxing, shaving, and tweezing can generally do the trick (temporarily), nothing compares to laser hair removal for permanent hair reduction. Ultimatewon’tou won’t require any more laser treatments, besides maybe the odd top-up to remain—hair-free foIt’sr!

 

It’s safe to deduce that laser removal is the best option to remove unwanted hair from everything gathered. If you wish to schedule the best laser hair removal services in Rutland, Calveo has you covered. We have customers who travel 2 hours or more because they trust us with their skin, and we have a beautiful, discreet clinic in the countryside with free onsite parking.

 

THE CISN’TST ISN’T ALWAYS THE BEST!

Of course, we all love a bargain and want to know that we are getting value for our money, but when it comes to laser hair offers, they generally sound too good to be true!

Bearing in mind that high-grade medical laser hair removal machines can cost tens of thousands of pounds, a deal offering laser hair removal too cheaply may be using out-of-date equipment.

We want to ensure you receive the best quality treatment possible for laser hair removal. While opting for the cheapest option may be tempting, it isn’t always the best choice.

High-quality medical laser hair removal machines can cost tens of thousands of pounds, so if a clinic offers laser hair removal at a price that seems too good to be true, it’s essential to research. These deals may use outdated technology or inferior machines, resulting in poor treatment quality.

Always research nearby clinics and check their Google reviews to ensure you receive the best results. Remember, the cheapest isn’t always the best, and investing in high-quality laser hair removal treatments will pay off in the long run.

 

 

 

That being said, buying a blocked course of treatment makes sense if your card allows it. Paying per session could cost you more than most clinics offer a discounted bundle of 6-8 sessions. It’s unlikely that full results will be achieved in fewer sessions, so opting for a bundle makes sense in the long run.

 

Clients that travel from afar to Calveo do so and make a day out to visit Rutlanwon’tou won’t be disappointed. Walk the historical streets of Oakham and dine out in one of the loveliest cafes, country pubs or fine restaurants. Alternatively, visit Rutland Water or Barnsdale Gardens, which covers 8 acres and comprises 37 individual gardens.
