CHRIS in Den Haag: the smooth operators in laser hair removal for your fabulous lower legs!
Permanent laser hair removal of the lower legs is a much-requested treatment among women. During this treatment both legs are treated from the ankle up to and including the knee. Traditional methods such as using razors, shaving creams or waxing are often painful, irritate the skin and have a short-lived effect. Hair removal creams can even be harmful to the skin. A treatment for the permanent removal of the leg hair offers a lasting solution. A session takes about 20 minutes. We also offer laser treatments for the full legs or upper legs.
Does laser hair removal on my leg hair hurt? Is it safe?
Waxing your lower legs every time is a chore and it always grows back. Fortunately there is a better option: laser hair removal for your lower legs. This laser treatment feels more like a pinch or a flick of an elastic band and gives a warm sensation, but does not hurt. With our aloe vera gel we can soothe the skin even more. Moreover, laser hair removal is very safe and the risks are rare and easy to avoid by simply following your therapist’s instructions.
How many laser treatments of the lower legs do I need?
Our package for laser hair removal of the lower legs includes six treatments. Each treatment must be scheduled four to six weeks apart because of the hair growth cycle. Laser treatments only work on hair that is actively growing. The growth phase of the hair cycle is called the anagen phase. This is the only time when the hair and the follicles are connected to each other. This allows the energy from the hair to be transferred to the follicles. Since 20% of your hair is in the anagen phase, one treatment can target 20% of the hair. Each subsequent treatment will target another 20%.
How do I prepare for laser hair removal on my lower legs?
Ready for your laser treatment for the lower legs? Here are a few tips!
- Keep your lower legs and knees out of direct sunlight and avoid tanning beds or intense UV radiation.
- Tell your therapist about any medication you are taking.
- Cleanse your skin and keep it free of lotions, creams, moisturizers, perfumes and make-up.
- Make sure you shave 48 hours beforehand, or at least three hours before your session.
When will I see results after laser hair removal of the leg hair?
Laser hair removal of the lower legs is super handy for getting rid of unwanted hair, but it is not a quick fix. Each session only tackles a maximum of 20% of the hair. So after each session you will see a reduction of about 20% of your hair. After a week the hair already starts to fall out and after the third session you should have lost at least 50% of the hair. But note that, to make the treatment effective, it is important to schedule each session about four to six weeks apart. If you do not, it will take longer before you achieve the desired results. So stay consistent and stick to the schedule!
