Shaving every day, booking wax appointments and dealing with razor bumps and ingrown hairs gets old fast. Laser hair removal in Springville, UT reduces hair growth so you can spend less time on hair removal — and get rid of the irritation that comes with it.
The laser targets the pigment in each hair follicle, heating it to slow future growth. Over a series of sessions, hair becomes finer, sparser and slower to grow back.
When You Need Laser Hair Removal
Popular areas include the underarms, legs, bikini line, upper lip, chin, back and chest. Laser hair removal is also helpful for people who get ingrown hairs and razor bumps from shaving, including on the neck and beard area.
It works best on dark hair, because the laser targets pigment. Very light blond, red, gray or white hair does not respond well. Your provider will check your hair and skin type to set realistic expectations before you start.
Good timing helps. Because you need to avoid tanning before and between sessions, many people in Utah start laser hair removal in fall or winter so they are finished in time for summer at the lake or the pool. Underarms, upper lip and bikini line are the most common places to start.
Our Laser Hair Removal Process
At your consultation, your provider reviews your skin type, hair color and medicines. Before each session, follow your provider’s instructions on preparing the area, and avoid tanning and sunless tanners.
During treatment, you wear protective eyewear, and the laser is passed over the skin. Many people describe it as a snap or a warm pinch. Small areas like the upper lip take minutes; legs take longer. You can return to normal activities right away.
Hair grows in cycles, so most people need a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart, with occasional touch-ups later.
After each session, the treated skin may be pink with small bumps around the follicles for a few hours. Treated hairs shed over the next one to three weeks — that’s normal. Avoid sun exposure, tanning and hot tubs for a couple of days, and keep shaving between sessions if needed. Many people also choose it to cut down on razor bumps and ingrown hairs.
Most people need between two and six treatments, and many notice less hair after the very first session.
