Laser hair removal is one of the most popular med spa treatments. If you're considering it in Oswego, here's what to expect.
How It Works
A medical-grade laser targets pigment in the hair follicle. The heat damages the follicle, reducing or eliminating future growth. It works best on dark hair and light skin — we'll assess your candidacy during consultation.
What to Expect — Sessions
Most people need 6–8 sessions for significant reduction. Hair grows in cycles; the laser only affects follicles in the active growth phase. Spacing sessions 4–6 weeks apart catches each cycle.
First session: We'll assess your skin, explain the process, and do a test patch if needed.
Ongoing: Each session treats the area. Treatment time depends on size (underarms: ~15 min; legs: longer).
Prep and Aftercare
Before: Shave the area 24 hours prior. No tanning. Avoid certain medications (we'll review).
After: Avoid sun, heat, and irritants for 24–48 hours. Hair will shed over 1–2 weeks — that's normal.
Why Medical Oversight Matters
Laser hair removal uses medical-grade devices. An NP on site means:
- •Proper screening (some skin types need different settings)
- •Prescriptions for antivirals when indicated (e.g., facial hair with history of cold sores)
- •Emergency protocols if needed
Hello Gorgeous has an NP on site 7 days a week.
