Silky, smooth, hair-free skin always stays in style, but reaching for the razor every day can become such a drag. Thankfully, you have options for unwanted hair removal, including our powerful laser hair removal in Maplewood, MN.
Uplift Aesthetics will act as your personal guide on laser hair removal, from the beginning of your transformation all the way to the end. Let’s dive into what you can expect on your hair removal journey at Uplift.
A Custom Consultation
Before getting laser hair removal, you begin your journey by scheduling a curated consultation with our nationally certified laser technician. This consultation gives us the opportunity to learn more about you and create a treatment plan that aligns with your goals and hair concerns.
We recommend checking out our FAQs on laser hair removal in Woodbury, MN, before your consultation to get a general idea of how this treatment works and what a suitable candidate for laser hair removal looks like.
We always feel excited and ready to answer questions you might have about the treatment, and your consultation gives you a chance to ask any remaining questions.
Preparing for Your Laser Hair Removal Session
You don’t need to do much before your laser hair removal appointment, but there are a few steps to take before your treatment. Our team recommends avoiding sun exposure for at least 2 weeks before treatment. Along with that, apply sunscreen when going outside. We can’t perform laser hair removal on tanned or sunburned skin, so take proper precautions with sun exposure!
Our team also recommends you stop waxing and plucking for at least 4 weeks before your treatment. We need the base of your hair follicles to stay intact for this treatment, and waxing and plucking completely removes hair—follicle and all. However, you will need to shave your treatment area the day before your treatment.
The Laser Hair Removal Treatment
Once you arrive at Uplift, a member of our team will have you relax in our special treatment room. To prepare for the treatment, we cleanse the treatment area and apply a soothing skin gel.
For our laser hair removal process, our certified laser technicians use the powerful Diolaze treatment device, which has a self-cooling applicator to keep you comfortable throughout the process. Depending on your treatment area, your appointment can last a couple of minutes (for small areas like the upper lip) or up to 30 minutes (when several areas are treated in one session).
Post-Treatment Care and Recovery
Immediately after your treatment, your skin may feel a little more sensitive than usual. Make sure you continue to avoid direct sun exposure and stop using any perfumes or deodorants that may irritate your treated skin.
Patients will see optimal results after multiple laser hair removal treatments. Make sure to schedule your follow-up sessions and to avoid plucking or waxing between your maintenance treatments.
Long-Lasting Results
After you finish your treatment program (usually 9 to 12 sessions), you can enjoy a long-term reduction in hair growth, with some patients experiencing permanent hair removal. Even for those who don’t have complete hair removal, treatment still significantly reduces hair growth with results that can last for months, or even years.
Some factors can cause hair to grow back after your treatments, such as changes in hormones and certain medical conditions. You can always schedule maintenance treatments if you notice hair growth beginning to return.
The Smooth Life Awaits!
Say ‘goodbye’ to last-minute shaving and pesky stubble, and say ‘hello’ to smooth, confident skin that’s ready for anything. At Uplift Aesthetics, we’re here to make your experience of laser hair removal in Maplewood, MN, as seamless as possible.
If you want to ditch the razor, book your consultation and get started on the path of effortlessly smooth skin.
