  • ‘Tis the Season for Laser Hair Removal!

    With spring right around the corner, there is no perfect time to begin your laser hair removal journey than now! Dreaming of soon-to-be shorts weather and vacation time, you don’t want to miss the best time to begin your hair removal sessions. Continue reading to learn what exactly laser hair removal is, who is a candidate for this treatment and why now is the best time to begin your sessions!

    What is Laser Hair Removal?

    Laser hair removal is the process of removing the hair in specific areas of your body, as the name suggests. The laser targets the melanin in the hair follicle, which inhibits or delays the hair growth. At Deux Rosé Beauty Refinery, we use a 810mm laser to target the hair. Unfortunately, one treatment is not enough to permanently prevent the hair growth. Typically, we recommend a minimum of six sessions with 4-8 weeks in between each session to achieve optimal results.

    Why is Now the Best Time to Begin?

    Winter time is the best time to begin your laser hair removal sessions, as it presents less opportunities for your skin to be exposed to the sun. Laser hair removal treatments can increase your skin’s sensitivity to the sun, so it’s best to avoid it as much as possible. When you begin your laser treatments in the winter season, that means you will be seeing your results just in time for the warmer weather!

    Am I a Candidate for Laser Hair Removal?

    Laser hair removal treatments work best on patients with lighter skin tones and darker hair. Since the laser targets the melanin in the skin, patients with these characteristics typically see the quickest results.

    Patients with darker skin tones tend to have a more challenging time with laser hair treatments, as there is more melanin in the upper layers of the skin which leads to an increased chance of burns from the laser. Due to this risk, your aesthetician will lower the power of the laser, meaning patients with darker skin tones typically require between 8-10 sessions to see optimal results.

    Additionally, patients with lighter hair (such as blonde or red) can also be more complicated to treat. Because the laser targets the melanin in the hair follicle, that can be challenging in patients with lighter hair colors. This means that lighter-hair patients will also require between 8-10 sessions to achieve optimal results.

    Regardless of your skin tone and hair color, we recommend booking a consultation first. With a consultation, your aesthetician will be able to build a comprehensive laser hair removal plan specifically for you. Let Deux Rosé Beauty Refinery help you look and feel your best!

  • All About Laser Hair Removal

    laser-hair-removal
    Three words: Laser. Hair. Removal. You’ve been asking for it and we’ve finally added it to our repertoire. If you’re a laser hair removal veteran, you can now enjoy the service under the same roof as your lip filler treatments and custom facials. However, if you’re new to the hair removal world, allow us to drop some knowledge and let you know why our Las Vegas laser hair removal procedure is so important.

    What is Laser Hair Removal?

    As its name states, laser hair removal is the process of using a laser to remove hair. At Deux Rosé we use our 810mm laser to target the hair follicle’s melanin. The energy in the laser damages the hair follicle which inhibits or delays hair growth.

    Is Laser Hair Removal Permanent?

    While damage to the hair follicle delays hair growth for extended periods of time, it usually doesn’t result in permanent hair removal. Instead, maintenance treatments may be needed.

    How Many Laser Hair Removal Treatments are Needed?

    While every patient is different, most people need between 6-8 laser hair removal sessions. Hair grows in cycles and the laser only damages the hair follicle in actively growing hair. That is why it takes multiple sessions to target all the hair in each different cycle.

    How Long Should I Wait Between Laser Hair Removal Treatments?

    Patients should wait 4-6 weeks between laser hair removal treatments.

    Who is a Candidate for Laser Hair Removal?

    Laser hair removal can be performed on all skin types, although those with darker skin may require more treatments due to the energy levels permitted. The laser targets melanin in the hair follicle, so the risk of damaging the skin is higher when there is less contrast between the hair and the skin. The treatment is most effective on patients with light skin and dark hair.

    Is Laser Hair Removal Painful?

    The treatment on its own can cause mild pain, especially in sensitive areas like the neck or bikini area. Most patients describe the sensation as a hot rubber band snap. Because of this, we can apply numbing cream to the area upon patient request.  

    Laser hair removal in Las Vegas has never been more popular. Hopefully this guide has taught you a thing or two about the treatment, or, at the very least, made you more comfortable about asking questions. Speaking of, don’t hesitate to schedule a consultation for this or any of our injection services.
