Laser Hair Removal Naperville, IL

Unwanted facial or body hair is a nuisance, to say the least. However, it’s a nuisance that you don’t have to tolerate any longer than you already have. At SkinPerfected in Woodridge, IL, located near Naperville, IL, and Downers Grove, IL, we offer laser hair removal treatments with a state-of-the-art laser device that can permanently eliminate hair from virtually anywhere on the body and reduce unwanted hair growth. Investing in laser hair removal treatment is a gift to yourself and means you don’t have to constantly worry about shaving, waxing, or other hair removal methods.

Naperville Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal has been around for years, but the laser device we use is far more effective than the laser devices of the past. At SkinPerfected, we offer laser hair removal treatments with the fastest and most innovative laser technology available in the cosmetic world. This device delivers a quick and comfortable treatment and can help patients with all skin types and tones achieve their goals and enjoy incredible long-term results.

How It Works

Unlike traditional hair removal methods that simply shorten the hair or remove it from the root, laser hair removal will destroy the hair follicle so it can no longer grow hair. Once destroyed, the hair will grow thinner and shed, and you’ll eventually be left with significantly less hair volume in your treatment area. The results are long-lasting, and the treatment process offers many different benefits.

Your Treatment Session

When you arrive for your treatment, our extremely knowledgeable professionals will prepare your treatment area and then use the laser device to deliver heat energy directly to the hair follicles in your treatment area. As long as the hair follicles are in an active growth phase, the laser light will destroy them. Additional laser hair removal sessions will ensure that any hair follicles that weren’t in an active growth stage during your previous treatment will be destroyed once they are.

What To Expect

Laser hair removal treatments cause minimal discomfort. The entire treatment process takes just minutes to complete, and then you’ll be free to resume most of your normal daily activities.

You won’t have to plan on downtime. You will need to avoid excess sun exposure and temporarily discontinue applying topical products that could irritate your skin post-treatment since it will be more sensitive. You will also need to stop all self-tanners 1-2 weeks prior to your appointment.  We will provide aftercare instructions so that you know exactly how to care for your skin.

What It Treats

Our laser system at our medical spa in Woodridge can help you eliminate unwanted hair from different areas of the face and the body. Whether you have one small area, a large area, or several different areas you want to treat, we can design a treatment plan that addresses each one so that you can reach your goals as quickly as possible.

Some of the most common treatment areas include the bikini area, underarms, back, chest, arms, upper lip, and legs. However, you won’t be limited to these treatment areas alone, and we can custom-tailor a treatment plan that’s right for you.

What Your Treatment Plan Will Look Like

A single laser treatment is incredibly effective and will damage a significant number of hair follicles and deliver results. However, we will need to schedule multiple treatments to target every hair follicle in its active growth phase. These treatments are quick and will help you get one step closer to your ultimate goal: hair-free skin that allows your natural beauty to shine through.

Am I a Good Candidate?

If you are wondering whether laser hair removal treatments will actually work for you, you’re not alone. Many laser devices exclude patients from treatments because they work best on patients with light skin and dark hair. The good news is that our device uses advanced and innovative technology to help men and women with all different skin types and tones remove unwanted hair from the face or body. We offer our innovative laser hair removal treatments to residents of Woodridge, Naperville, Downers Grove, LaGrange, and Hinsdale, IL.

You won’t have to fall within a certain parameter to qualify for treatment. However, we will schedule a pre-treatment consultation to confirm your treatment eligibility so we can safely move forward with the treatment process.

What Are the Treatment Benefits?

Laser hair removal offers a comfortable and quick way to achieve your hair-free goals. It’s not just an effective solution; it’s also a smart investment for your confidence and your wallet. You’ll save time and money by eliminating the need for shaving, tweezing, or waxing appointments. After completing the recommended treatment plan, you’ll see a significant difference.

With smoother skin, you’ll feel more confident and won’t have to worry about the embarrassment of forgetting to shave. Once you start the treatment, you’ll love the results, and you might even wish you had made this investment sooner!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is laser hair removal, and how does it work?

Laser hair removal is a procedure that targets the pigment in the hair follicle to destroy it, ensuring the hair does not grow back.

Is laser hair removal suitable for all skin types and hair colors?

With the BareHR all skin types may be treated! Hair color must be visible to the laser, so all colors except white, gray, & light blonde are suitable for laser hair removal.

How many sessions are typically needed to achieve permanent hair reduction with laser hair removal?

Typically it takes a minimum of six (6) sessions to achieve the desired permanent hair reduction with laser hair removal.

Is laser hair removal permanent?

While laser hair removal significantly reduces hair growth and can provide long-lasting results, it is not considered a permanent solution for everyone. Some hair may eventually regrow but typically appears finer and lighter than before.

Is it painful to get laser hair removal?

Most patients don’t feel any pain or discomfort and tolerate laser hair removal quite well. Treatment is typically described as a rubber band snapping against the skin or a mild warming or tingling sensation.

When is the best season to get laser hair removal?

Fall or winter is typically the best season for laser hair removal as there is less sun exposure, and there is a decreased risk of pigmentation changes and burning. It also allows you to prepare your skin for summer when you often show more skin and want smooth, hair-free skin.

Who should not get laser hair removal?

People who are pregnant, those with certain skin conditions, those taking blood thinners, and individuals that are tan are generally not good candidates for laser hair removal.

What is the recovery like for laser hair removal?

Immediately after your laser hair removal, your skin might be a little pink with slight swelling around the hair follicles but those side effects will dissipate within a few hours. Your skin may also feel like it has a mild sunburn. In the week or two following your treatment, your hair will start to shed.

How does laser hair removal work?

Laser hair removal uses concentrated beams of light that are absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair. This light energy is converted to heat, which damages the hair follicles, inhibiting or delaying future hair growth.

Is laser hair removal safe?

Yes, laser hair removal is considered safe when performed by a qualified technician. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved it as a safe method for hair removal in 1997, provided that the procedure is conducted in a controlled environment by licensed professionals.

How many treatments are typically required?

Most individuals require between 6-10 treatments to achieve optimal results depending on the treatment area, as hair grows in different cycles and not all hairs are in the same growth phase during a single session.

What areas can be treated with laser hair removal?

Laser hair removal is effective on various body parts, including the face, legs, chin, back, arms, underarms, and bikini line. However, it should not be used on eyelids or areas with tattoos.

What are the common side effects?

Common side effects include temporary redness, swelling, and discomfort in the treated area. More severe side effects can include blistering and changes in skin pigmentation, but these are rare when performed by skilled practitioners.

How long does each session take?

The duration of each session depends on the size of the area being treated. Small areas like the upper lip can take less than a minute, while multiple and larger areas like the back or legs may take up to 20-30 minutes.

Can laser hair removal be performed on all skin types?

Yes, advancements in laser technology have made it possible to treat all skin types effectively. However, special care may be needed for individuals with darker skin tones to avoid potential pigment changes.

What should I do before my treatment?

It is recommended to avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and self-tanners 2 weeks before your treatment and we recommend discontinuing waxing and plucking for at least six weeks before your treatment to ensure optimal results and reduce the risk of side effects.

Will I see immediate results after treatment?

Hair loss from laser treatments is not immediate; it typically takes about 1 to 3 weeks for treated hairs to fall out as they are expelled from the follicle.
