Laser hair removal
What is laser hair removal?
Laser hair removal is a safe and effective treatment that uses concentrated light energy to target and destroy hair follicles, resulting in long-term hair reduction. At SkinBar, we use the Rohrer Spectrum Diode Laser, an advanced medical-grade laser designed to treat unwanted hair on the face and body with precision and comfort.
Is laser hair removal permanent?
Laser hair removal provides long-term hair reduction. Most clients experience a significant decrease in hair growth after completing their treatment series. While some maintenance treatments may be needed over time, many clients enjoy years of smoother skin.
How many laser hair removal treatments will I need?
Most clients require 6-8 treatments spaced 4-8 weeks apart, depending on the treatment area, hair color, hair thickness, and individual hormone levels. Because hair grows in cycles, multiple sessions are needed to effectively target all active follicles. We start with a package of 6 and offer maintenance treatments if needed.
Can laser hair removal treat ingrown hairs?
Yes. Laser hair removal is one of the most effective treatments for reducing ingrown hairs. By targeting the hair follicle, laser treatments help prevent hairs from becoming trapped beneath the skin.
Why can't I wax before laser hair removal?
Laser hair removal targets the pigment inside the hair follicle. Waxing and plucking remove the hair root, leaving nothing for the laser to target and reducing treatment effectiveness.
What should I expect after laser hair removal?
Mild redness and slight swelling around the follicles are normal and usually resolve within a few hours. Treated hairs will gradually shed over the following 1-3 weeks.
Why choose SkinBar for laser hair removal in Gresham?
SkinBar uses the Rohrer Spectrum Diode Laser, a medical-grade laser system that delivers effective hair reduction with client comfort in mind. Every treatment includes a customized consultation to ensure safe, effective results tailored to your skin type, hair characteristics, and goals.
How does the Rohrer Spectrum Diode Laser work?
The Rohrer Spectrum Diode Laser targets the pigment within the hair follicle. The laser energy heats and damages the follicle while protecting the surrounding skin, reducing future hair growth and leaving skin smoother with each treatment.
Does laser hair removal hurt?
Most clients describe the sensation as a quick snap or warm pinching feeling. The Rohrer Spectrum Diode Laser is designed with advanced cooling technology to help maximize comfort during treatment.
Is laser hair removal safe for sensitive skin?
Yes. The Rohrer Spectrum Diode Laser is designed to safely treat a variety of skin types. During your consultation, we will assess your skin and hair characteristics to determine the safest and most effective treatment plan.
What should I do before my laser hair removal appointment?
For best results:
Shave the treatment area 24 hours before your appointment.
Avoid waxing, tweezing, threading, or epilating for at least 4 weeks before treatment.
Avoid tanning and excessive sun exposure.
Arrive with clean skin free of lotions, oils, self-tanner, and makeup.
Does laser hair removal work on all hair colors?
Laser hair removal works best on dark hair because the laser targets pigment within the follicle. Blonde, gray, white, and red hairs may not respond as effectively. A consultation can determine whether you're a good candidate.
