Laser removal of back hair: is it painful and safe
Waxing hurts a lot, especially on your back. We've all been through it. But laser hair removal of a woman's full back doesn't hurt. No, let's put it differently. Pain isn't the right word. A treatment for laser hair removal of a woman's full back feels like a pinch. Or it can be compared to the feeling of an elastic band snapping against the skin. You may also feel some warmth. Laser hair removal doesn't hurt. It can feel unpleasant, but overall it's comfortable. The back is not the most sensitive area of the body. That's why the treatment is well tolerated. Aloe vera gel helps to soothe your skin. Laser treatments are also very safe. As with all cosmetic procedures there are risks, but they are very rare. You can also easily avoid them by following your technician's instructions.
How many sessions do I need to laser my entire back?
Our full-back laser hair removal package includes six sessions. Each session must be 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 the hair and the hair follicle are connected, so that the energy can pass from the hair to the follicle. Since 20% of your hair is in the anagen phase, one session can treat 20% of the hair. Each subsequent session treats another 20%. The upper back is a hormonal area. The hair is darker, thicker and coarser, so it is harder to remove. That's why patients will probably need extra sessions.
How do I prepare for a full-back laser hair removal session?
A full-back laser hair removal treatment for women is simple and convenient. It's a quick and easy way to remove back hair. Here are some friendly tips to help you prepare for your session:
- Avoid direct sunlight: It's important to protect your skin from sun exposure before your session. Avoid tanning beds and intensive UV treatments. Artificial tanning can put the skin in an agitated state, which can interfere with your treatment.
- Medication and sensitivity: Some medications can increase your skin's sensitivity to light, which can make the laser treatment feel more uncomfortable. So inform your certified laser specialist about your medical history before undergoing the session, so they can take this into account.
- Cleanse your skin: Make sure your skin is free of lotions, creams, moisturisers, perfumed fragrances and make-up before you start the session. This ensures the laser can penetrate optimally and work effectively.
- To make the treatment more efficient, we recommend shaving your back one to two days before your appointment. This optimises how precisely the laser targets the hair follicles. If you can't reach it properly, don't worry. During the treatment we will shave the hairs if needed.
When can I expect results?
Laser removal of back hair is a long-term method for reducing hair growth. Even so, you can see results early on. Each session targets 20% of the hair, resulting in a 20% reduction in hair growth after each session. Usually, about a week after the session, you'll notice your back hair falling out. By the third session you can expect a reduction of at least 50% of your body hair. Consistency is essential for achieving successful results.
To maintain consistency, it's important to schedule each session six weeks apart. Following this recommended schedule ensures the effectiveness of the treatment and minimises possible delays in achieving the desired result.
