What is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal represents a breakthrough in modern aesthetic medicine, offering a sophisticated solution to unwanted hair that goes far beyond traditional removal techniques. By harnessing advanced light technology, this precise medical procedure targets hair at its source, sending concentrated light pulses directly into hair follicles. The laser’s specific wavelength is strategically absorbed by the hair’s pigment, causing targeted thermal damage that disrupts the follicle’s ability to regrow hair.
Unlike temporary methods such as shaving or waxing, laser hair removal provides a more comprehensive approach to hair reduction. The treatment progressively weakens hair follicles with each session, leading to significantly reduced hair growth and, in many cases, long-term hair elimination. Patients appreciate the minimal discomfort and the lasting results that transform their skin’s appearance and texture. This cutting-edge technique offers comprehensive coverage, effectively treating multiple body areas including the face, neck, chest, back, arms, legs, bikini area, and underarms.

Laser Hair Removal Procedure: Step by Step

Our laser hair removal process at Bailey Cosmetic Surgery & Vein Centre is carefully designed to ensure patient comfort and optimal results across different skin types. Each stage of the procedure is meticulously planned to provide the most effective and personalized treatment possible.
The journey begins with a comprehensive initial consultation that serves as the foundation of your laser hair removal experience. During this critical first meeting, Dr. Bailey conducts a thorough assessment of your skin and hair characteristics, examining factors such as hair density, color, and skin tone. We discuss your complete medical history to ensure the treatment is safe and appropriate for you. Based on these detailed evaluations, our team develops a customized treatment plan tailored specifically to your unique needs and aesthetic goals.
Preparing for the laser hair removal treatment involves several important steps to maximize comfort and effectiveness. Before the procedure, the targeted treatment area is carefully cleaned to remove any oils, makeup, or potential barriers to the laser’s effectiveness. A specialized cooling gel may be applied to the skin to minimize discomfort and protect the outer layers during the treatment. Both the patient and our technician will don protective eyewear to ensure complete safety during the laser procedure.
The actual laser treatment is a precise and sophisticated process that targets unwanted hair with remarkable accuracy. Our advanced laser system emits concentrated light pulses that are specifically directed at hair follicles, penetrating the skin to disable future hair growth. Each laser pulse is extremely quick, typically lasting just a fraction of a second, which allows us to treat multiple hair follicles simultaneously. To enhance patient comfort, we incorporate advanced cooling techniques that help minimize any potential discomfort during the procedure.
Immediately following the laser hair removal treatment, our medical team provides comprehensive care to support optimal healing and results. A soothing cream is applied to the treated area to help calm the skin and reduce any potential redness or sensitivity. We provide detailed instructions for home care, including specific guidance on skin protection, moisturizing, and activities to avoid in the days following the treatment. Before you leave, we schedule follow-up sessions to track your progress and ensure you’re achieving the desired permanent hair reduction results.

Recovery after Laser Hair Removal

Immediately After Treatment
Patients will experience slight redness and mild swelling in the treated area, which is completely normal and expected. The sensation is often compared to a mild sunburn, with a slight warmth or tingling feeling. Our medical team recommends applying cool compresses to the treated area to help reduce any immediate discomfort and minimize inflammation.
During the initial two days following the treatment, patients will notice minimal discomfort. It is crucial during this time to avoid direct sun exposure, which can irritate the treated skin. Gentle, fragrance-free moisturizers should be used to keep the skin hydrated and calm. Patients are advised to avoid hot showers, saunas, and any activities that might cause excessive sweating or heat exposure.
As the healing progresses, any initial redness will begin to subside. Treated hair will start to fall out naturally, which is a positive sign of the treatment’s effectiveness. Patients can gently exfoliate the area to help remove dead hair and promote smooth skin. This period is typically when patients begin to see the initial results of their laser hair removal treatment.
By this stage, patients can resume normal activities with minimal restrictions. Continued sun protection remains essential to prevent any potential skin damage or pigmentation changes. Patients should still avoid harsh skin treatments or aggressive skincare procedures. The treated area will continue to heal, and the full effects of the laser hair removal will become more apparent.

Benefits of Laser Hair Removal

Physical Benefits
The physical benefits of laser hair removal are numerous and transformative. This advanced treatment provides permanent hair reduction, dramatically changing how individuals manage unwanted hair. Patients experience a smoother skin texture that feels more refined and elegant compared to traditional hair removal methods. The precise targeting of hair follicles eliminates the problem of ingrown hairs, which can cause discomfort and skin irritation. Unlike time-consuming methods like shaving or waxing, laser hair removal is remarkably faster and more efficient. Moreover, the treatment reduces skin irritation typically associated with razors and waxing, leading to healthier, more comfortable skin.
Beyond the physical improvements, laser hair removal offers profound emotional and psychological advantages. Many patients report a significant boost in self-confidence, feeling more comfortable and empowered in their own skin. The treatment alleviates self-consciousness about body hair, allowing individuals to feel more at ease in social and personal situations. As a time-saving alternative to regular hair removal, it provides a sense of freedom from constant grooming routines. Patients often describe a heightened feeling of cleanliness and personal care, which contributes to an improved overall body image and sense of well-being.During the initial two days following the treatment, patients will notice minimal discomfort.

Botox & Fillers
I’ve came to Dr. Bailey for years now and have always had the highest quality experience!!! He always goes above and beyond to make sure the procedure for Botox and Filler are pain free. In my 20’s I struggled with extremely bad migraines, at least 3 per month. Once I started Botox with Dr.Bailey they were completely alleviated and of course the cosmetic results were top notch as well. The entire office staff has always made me feel very comfortable and at ease. I truly feel like they care about me and I’m not “just another patient”. I am always 💯 pleased with my results. Dr. Collin Bailey is the BEST!! His unmatchable expertise keeps me coming back!!!!

Breast Lift & Implants
“I was intimidated when I first came in but I was greeted at the door and Dr. Bailey’s staff was so nice and made me feel so welcomed. When I was having my consultation I felt insecure about myself but Dr. Bailey and his staff made me feel at ease. They were willing to tell me all my options and explain the procedure thoroughly. I am so happy I moved forward with a breast lift and my implants are a perfect size as well. I am feeling and looking better than ever! I have more confidence and overall feel better about myself. I couldn’t recommend this facility more! I keep telling my friends to come in for consultation so they can have a great experience like I did.”
