What Is Laser Hair
Removal Treatment?

Laser hair removal is a cosmetic procedure designed to reduce unwanted hair. This technique employs Aerolase laser technology to target hair follicles, effectively reducing hair growth over time. It’s a popular choice for those seeking a more permanent hair reduction solution compared 
to traditional methods like shaving, waxing, or plucking.
The principle that makes laser hair removal so effective is selective photothermolysis. This technique utilizes a specific wavelength of light and pulse duration to accurately target the melanin chromophore in the hair, which gives hair its color. Light from the laser is absorbed 
by melanin in the hair follicle, producing heat that damages the follicle and hinders future hair growth without harming the adjacent skin. This targeted precision makes laser hair removal an effective and efficient technique for eliminating unwanted hair.

Preparing for Your Session: Do's and Don'ts

Do’s:
  • Consult a professional: Ensure you're a suitable candidate for the treatment.
  • Shave the area: Shave the treatment area 24-48 hours before your session, allowing the laser to target the hair follicles more effectively.
  • Wear sunscreen: Protect the treatment area from sun exposure before and after the session.
Don’ts:
  • Don't pluck or wax: Avoid plucking, waxing, or electrolysis for six weeks before treatment, as these methods remove the hair root, which is targeted by the laser.
  • Avoid using specific skincare products: Refrain from using products that may irritate the skin, such as certain creams and lotions, for a few days before the procedure.
  • Don't expose the area to the sun: Avoid sunbathing 
or tanning beds for at least two weeks before treatment.

Laser Hair Removal
Results

Laser hair removal offers long-term reduction, with immediate effects visible after the first session and significant changes after two or three treatments. Full benefits are apparent months later, and some may need maintenance for ongoing results. Success at Ortho-Rejuv Wellness and Aesthetics hinges on factors like skin and hair contrast, with advanced lasers accommodating various types. Treatment effectiveness varies by body area, and consistent session scheduling is crucial. The expertise of our trained technicians also ensures optimal treatment outcomes.

How Long Is the Wait Between Laser Hair Removal Treatments?

At Ortho-Rejuv Wellness and Aesthetics, we tailor each client’s laser treatment plan to their unique hair growth cycles, recognizing that hair growth varies from person to person and across different body areas. During your initial consultation and throughout your laser hair removal treatments, our experts meticulously assess how your hair responds to the laser, allowing us to customize the intervals between sessions to effectively target more hair follicles over time.

Our personalized approach accommodates the distinct hair growth cycles of various body areas; for instance, facial hair, which typically has a faster growth cycle, may necessitate treatments every 4 weeks, whereas areas like the legs or back, with slower growth cycles, might have longer intervals between sessions, up to 6 weeks or more. 

This strategic adjustment of treatment timing, based on the specific area being treated, is vital to maximizing the efficacy of your laser hair removal process at Ortho-Rejuv Wellness and Aesthetics.

Post-Treatment Tips & Guidelines Portland OR Banner

Post-Treatment Tips & Guidelines

Most clients can resume their usual activities immediately after treatment, but following these aftercare tips is essential to enhance healing and achieve the best results.
After laser hair removal, your skin may be more sensitive to UV exposure. Protect the treated areas by applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 and avoiding direct sunlight for several days. This helps prevent irritation and pigmentation changes, ensuring optimal treatment results.
Keeping your body hydrated supports healthy skin recovery. Drinking plenty of water before and after your session helps maintain skin elasticity and can reduce post-treatment dryness or discomfort.
For 24–48 hours after treatment, avoid hot showers, saunas, steam rooms, and intense exercise. Excess heat can irritate freshly treated skin and may prolong redness or sensitivity.
Treat the area gently in the days following your session. Use mild cleansers, avoid exfoliating products, and moisturize regularly to support the healing process and maintain smooth skin.
Refrain from waxing, plucking, or using depilatory creams on treated areas between sessions. These methods remove the hair follicle targeted by the laser and can interfere with your results. Shaving is safe if necessary.

Benefits of Laser Hair Removal Treatment

Laser hair removal is a cosmetic procedure that offers several advantages over traditional hair removal methods. This technology uses concentrated light to target and damage hair follicles, reducing hair growth. Here are the benefits 
of opting for laser hair removal:
While they may not permanently remove hair, laser procedures significantly reduce hair growth, so you can stop shaving the treated areas or shaving them less frequently. Many people experience a permanent reduction in the number of hairs after a series of sessions, and any hair that regrows is typically finer and lighter in color.
Laser hair removal is highly precise, targeting hairs down to the follicle. This precision ensures effective treatment of the desired area without damaging the surrounding skin. It’s particularly beneficial for sensitive or hard-to-reach areas where other methods might be less effective or more painful. This precise targeting makes it an ideal solution for facial hair removal and for shaping areas such as the eyebrows or bikini line.
Laser hair removal helps you feel confident and comfortable in your own skin by minimizing unwanted hair regrowth and reducing the need for constant maintenance. With smoother, hair-free skin, you can embrace your body and the areas you love without worrying about stubble or irritation from shaving or waxing. Many clients report feeling more at ease wearing the clothes they love and enjoying activities like swimming or working out, knowing their skin looks and feels its best.
