If shaving and waxing feel like an endless part of your routine, you may be ready to explore another option.
Laser hair removal offers a way to reduce unwanted hair over time, with a treatment plan tailored to your skin, hair, and goals.
Upkeep Medspa offers laser hair removal, giving clients an opportunity to discuss treatment options and build a plan that fits their routine. Contact your preferred location to confirm available treatment areas and services.
How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
Laser hair removal uses light energy to target pigment in hair follicles. Treatment can reduce future hair growth, but results depend on factors such as hair color, skin tone, treatment area, and the device used.
It is best approached as a series rather than a single appointment. Hair grows in cycles, so repeated treatments help address hairs at different stages. Maintenance sessions may be needed, and complete, permanent removal of every hair is not guaranteed.
Start With a Personalized Consultation
Before booking your first session, discuss your priorities. Are you hoping to spend less time shaving? Are you interested in one area or several? Do you have questions about how treatment fits into your schedule?
Your consultation should also cover the provider’s experience, the equipment used, expected results, potential risks, and total costs. Ask about experience treating people with your skin tone and hair type.
At Upkeep, use this conversation to clarify the available options before committing to a treatment plan.
How to Prepare for Your Appointment
Preparation starts before treatment day. Tell your provider about your medications, recent tanning, previous treatments, and any history of scarring or cold sores.
Avoid tanning and sunless tanning products as directed. Protect exposed skin with a broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher.
Ask your provider when to shave the treatment area and when to stop waxing, plucking, or using other hair removal methods. Follow the instructions provided for your specific treatment, and do not change prescribed medications without guidance from your prescribing clinician.
What Happens During Laser Hair Removal?
Your provider will prepare the treatment area and provide protective eyewear. During treatment, you may feel brief warmth or a snapping sensation. Appointment length varies depending on the size of the area being treated.
Temporary redness, swelling, and discomfort can occur afterward. Less common complications include burns, pigment changes, and scarring, making provider experience and appropriate treatment settings important.
Ask what sensations are expected and how to contact your provider if you have concerns afterward.
Keep Your Treatment Plan on Track
Before leaving, confirm your next appointment and review your aftercare instructions. Ask when you can resume your usual skincare products, exercise, and other activities.
Consistency matters, but treatment timing should follow your provider’s recommendations. If travel, sun exposure, or changes in your health affect your schedule, let the team know before your next visit.
Questions to Ask Before Purchasing a Package
A package can help you plan ahead, but make sure you understand what it includes. Ask:
- Which treatment area does the package cover?
- How many sessions are included?
- Are there expiration dates or scheduling requirements?
- What happens if additional sessions are recommended?
- Are maintenance appointments priced separately?
Knowing these details makes it easier to compare options and budget for your treatment journey.
