WHY LASER?

WHY LASER? *
My husband and I go to Avona for various laser hair removal treatments that are suitable for black skin. They have the equipment to effectively treat individuals with more melanin and for that reason I will stick with them because this is so hard to find. Not to mention how affordable their services are.

Unlike shaving or waxing, laser hair removal offers more permanent results. It targets hair follicles and reduces hair growth over time, leading to smoother skin for longer periods.
-
The laser targets only the hair, leaving the surrounding skin undamaged. This makes it a precise treatment for areas like the face, bikini line, and underarms
-
Laser hair removal can save time compared to the constant need for shaving or waxing. After a few sessions, the need for hair removal becomes significantly reduced.
-
While everyone's pain tolerance is different, many find laser hair removal less painful than waxing, which involves pulling hair out by the root.
-
Modern laser technology has evolved, and many devices are now suitable for a range of skin types and tones, making it more accessible than ever before.
-
Shaving and waxing can sometimes lead to painful ingrown hairs, but laser hair removal reduces this risk by treating the hair follicle directly.
-
While laser hair removal may have a higher upfront cost than waxing or shaving products, the long-term savings are significant since the need for regular treatments is drastically reduced.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
-
Refrain from tweezing, electrolysis, or waxing. Discontinue the use of exfoliating agents, such as hydroquinone, retinol, and glycolic acid products, at least seven days before your scheduled appointment. On the day of your treatment, ensure your skin is clean-shaven and thoroughly free of makeup, creams, oils, topical anesthetics, or self-tanning products. Apply SPF30+ when outdoors before your treatment to prevent the treatment area from tanning. Avoid exposing the treatment area to direct sunlight or tanning booth lights before or immediately after the session. If you have a history of herpes simplex virus (cold sores), consider a prophylactic antiviral therapy before undergoing the treatment.
-
Uncommon but potential lasting effects include redness, swelling, hyperpigmentation, hypopigmentation, blistering, and purpura (resembling a laser bruise) in the treated region, typically resolving within a few days. Your technician can provide additional details regarding possible side effects.
-
Following your laser treatment, shield your skin from sun exposure by using SPF30+, and reapply when spending prolonged periods outdoors. Refrain from scrubbing or rinsing the treated areas with harsh skin cleansers in the initial days after the procedure. Your technician might recommend additional precautions, and you will receive an aftercare sheet during your initial appointment.
