What Does the Procedure Entail?

Since Forever Bare BBL laser hair removal in Westchester treatment is virtually painless, there is no need for numbing cream or injections. Your skin is first cleansed to remove all makeup and lotions. A cool, clear gel is then applied to the targeted regions. Your laser specialist will apply the BBL energy to your hair follicles to eliminate them at the growth phase. Shields or protective glasses are placed to protect your eyes depending on the skin area treated. The entire process lasts about 15-30 minutes, depending on the number of treatment zones.

What Can I Expect After My Forever Bare BBL Session in Westchester, NY?

Mild redness and swelling may occur immediately after the procedure; however, these symptoms typically subside within 24 hours. Sunscreen should be worn after your session, and prolonged sun exposure should be avoided. Since hair grows at different stages, it may be necessary to have multiple treatments to see comprehensive results. Most areas require 3 to 5 sessions spaced at 4-to-6-week intervals.

Recovery From Laser Hair Removal

Recovery from laser hair removal with Forever Bare BBL is typically smooth and hassle-free. Patients might experience slight redness or warmth in the treated area, which usually fades within a few hours. There is no significant downtime so that you can resume your normal activities immediately. It’s advisable to avoid direct sun exposure and apply sunscreen to protect the treated area. Some hair shedding may occur in the days following treatment, which is a natural part of the hair removal process. Multiple sessions may be necessary to achieve the best results.

Am I A Good Candidate For Forever Bare BBL?

Ideal candidates for Forever Bare BBL in Westchester at New York Eye and Face should be in good mental and physical health and struggling with unwanted hair. They may be sick and tired of painful, time-consuming hair removal methods, such as waxing, shaving, tweezing, plucking, and electrolysis, and desire a cost-effective, quick, no-downtime option. Laser hair removal is an excellent choice for those with darker hair and lighter skin, as the laser energy attracts the melanin (pigment) in the targeted hair follicles. The technology may be less effective on blond, gray, or fine-textured hair. Dr. Carniciu will sit down with you during your private consultation to determine if Forever Bare BBL is the best option for achieving your cosmetic goals.

Laser Hair Removal FAQ

Can Laser Hair Removal Treat All Hair Colors Effectively?

Laser hair removal works best on dark hair because the laser targets the melanin (pigment) in the hair. This makes it less effective on blonde, red, gray, or white hair, which lack sufficient pigment for the laser to target effectively. Advances in laser technology have led to the development of certain types of lasers, like the Alexandrite or Nd, that can treat lighter hair colors more effectively than traditional lasers, but the results may still be less predictable compared to dark hair.

Is Laser Hair Removal Permanent?

Laser hair removal significantly reduces hair growth, but it typically does not result in permanent removal. Most people experience substantial and long-lasting reduction, but some hair can regrow, especially if influenced by hormonal changes or other physiological factors. Periodic maintenance treatments may be necessary to keep the area hair-free for extended periods.

Can I Undergo Laser Hair Removal If I Have Tattoos?

It is generally advised to avoid laser hair removal over tattooed areas. The laser targets dark pigment and can potentially damage the tattoo by altering its appearance and causing skin irritation or other complications. If you need hair removal over a tattooed area, it's important to discuss alternative methods with your practitioner, such as shaving, waxing, or using depilatory creams, which do not affect tattoo ink.
