Do you know that shaving and waxing can cause chicken skin and darkening of underarms? Now, you can bid unwanted hair goodbye permanently through Diode Laser Hair Removal (LHR). If you say “ouch!” with the mere mention of laser, think again. With the recent advances in technology, laser treatment can now be painless literally, and better yet, painless on your pocket as well.
The entry of SkinStation in the highly competitive skin clinic business turned upside down our usual notion of laser treatment. In 2010, SkinStation set its goal to be number 1 in laser hair removal. Their old IPL machines were junked in favor of the more advanced painless diode laser with super hair removal technology. All branches, now 31 and counting, were provided with one or two units of the gold standard in laser hair removal. Then they dropped the price of the normally expensive procedure to a level competitive to waxing.
Look where SkinStation is now. No skin clinic comes close to what it has achieved in democratizing laser hair removal during the past five years.
Here’s what you need to know before booking your first session:
1. Laser hair removal requires six to eight sessions.
It also requires you to follow six weeks treatment interval for best results. After the course of the program, you would be virtually hairless, or have a few strands of fine hair here and there. That’s why the FDA-approved term is “permanent hair reduction.” You would need booster shots once or twice a year to maintain results.
2. Before your treatment:
Do not shave for at least one week. Do not pluck, wax, or use a depilatory four weeks prior to your treatment. Your hair should show to know specific areas the laser should target. The therapist will do the shaving. You should also avoid applying creams with tretinoin, exfoliants, and other products that can make your skin extra sensitive.
3. After your treatment:
You will notice that in one to two weeks, your hair will grow back but 10 to 15 percent will not resist plucking. They will fall off without resistance. Hair regrowth will be much finer. Post care essential is to use gentle cleanser like DERMAX SoGentle Gel Cleanser for at least two weeks.
