Laser Hair Removal
How does laser hair removal work?
Laser hair removal targets the pigment in the hair follicle with infrared light. The heat from the laser damages the follicle, which inhibits future hair growth. Since this requires hair to be present in the follicle, clients who have recently had waxing or plucking will have to wait a while before starting their treatment.
This method of hair removal is most effective on dark hair, however, recent technological advancements have made it possible to treat a broader range of hair types. We understand that everyone’s hair is different, which is why we offer our clients consultation to determine whether laser hair removal is a suitable method.
Only hair in the anagen growth phase can be properly removed with laser treatment. Since only a fraction of hair grows in this phase at a time, we recommend twelve sessions for optimal long-term results.
What to expect during your session
Laser hair removal is completely safe and almost painless, making it the ideal solution for many of our clients. When visiting Salon on Nutans for this treatment, clients can expect to step away into a small oasis where their comfort is the main priority.
For those new to laser hair removal, the feeling has been likened to the light snapping of a rubber band. Depending on your skin’s sensitivity, you can expect to experience mild swelling or redness after your session. However, this should disappear fairly quickly and can be alleviated with ice packs.
