Keep reading to learn all about hair removal for arms, and what patients can expect should they decide to undergo this treatment.

WHAT IS LASER HAIR REMOVAL?

Laser hair removal is a non-invasive procedure that can eliminate 60-90% of unwanted hair from the body and face.

The treatment can be performed in a matter of minutes, doesn’t have any downtime, and provides permanent results.

WHY GET LASER HAIR REMOVAL FOR ARMS?

Many patients suffer from extremely thick and dark hair on their arms known as terminal hair.

This growth can often make men and women feel self-conscious in short-sleeved shirts and is tiresome and uncomfortable to shave, wax, or epilate.

What’s more, these other methods can lead to ingrown hairs, cysts, razor burn, and discoloration of the skin.

However, hair removal on your arms eliminates this extra fuzz and alleviates the frustration and discomfort that it can cause.

Best of all, patients will see a noted reduction after their first session and experience continuous and long-lasting results with a series of 6 treatments.

For most, this is a liberating feeling and stark contrast from shaving every day or waxing monthly.

HOW DOES LASER HAIR REMOVAL FOR ARMS WORK?

Laser hair removal for arms delivers light-based technology to hair follicles in order to weaken and kill them.

Subsequently, destroyed follicles are shed from the body within 7-14 days and reveal a finer, slower regrowth and smoother skin.

Sessions are spaced 6-8 weeks apart in order to target follicles at the most appropriate time in their growth cycle.

IS THERE ANY DOWNTIME?

There is absolutely zero-downtime after having laser hair removal for arms, and patients can go about their day as they normally would.

However, it’s important to avoid sun exposure for two weeks before and after each session and forego waxing and epilating while undergoing treatment.

Additionally, shaving is required the day before your appointment and is permitted at any point after you’ve received laser hair removal.
