Despite its growing popularity, one of the biggest reservations many people still have about undergoing laser hair removal is that the process is going to be painful. To debunk the myths, Serenity Zone Med Spa owner Jennifer Swalwell explains how the process actually works and why the spa where you have the procedure done can impact the procedure.
Laser hair removal does not have to be painful. Many people think that in order to get the smooth, hair-free look they are going for, they have to sit through hours of a painful procedure, but here at Serenity Zone Med Spa that is definitely not the case.
When people come in to get laser hair removal, they are expecting to get rid of the natural body and facial hair that grows all over. Some of the most common areas that we can treat include the arms, the underarms, chest, back, bikini area, face, and legs.
Depending on the area of the body where a client is planning to get his hair removed, it can take up to six sessions to achieve the full, desired result. That is something that tends to scare or turn people off, though, because many people have heard horror stories about friends who have undergone painful hair removal procedures.
To tell the truth, at some spas, the process of laser hair removal can be painful. But at our spa, Serenity Zone Med Spa, the process is not painful at all.
The difference is that we have a physician who does all our medical procedures here at Serenity Zone, and that includes laser hair removal, as well. In fact, we do not even employ one laser technician here—our physician handles all laser treatments.
By having your laser hair removal done by an actual physician, you can be sure that you are being treated by the most experienced professional possible. Not only that, but our physician here at Serenity Zone Med Spa actually has extensive experience in pain management specifically, which helps him dilute any discomfort that our patients might experience. He is an extremely cautious physician who really does his best to make sure that all his patients are as comfortable and pain-free as possible during the laser hair removal procedure.
In addition, here at Serenity Zone we have a center cooling device that we use together with the laser hair removal. That is something people want to look out for when they are searching for somewhere to get their laser hair removal done because the cooling device helps decrease the amount of pain and discomfort that patients are going through during the procedure itself.
We also use things as simple as ice packs. We pretty much we will do anything possible to ensure that our patients are comfortable as possible at all times.
Another thing that we do here at Serenity Zone to ensure our clients’ comfort is to use the best, safest lasers that are available on the market for all our procedures. For laser hair removal, we use our Syneron eLaser. This is a laser that is advanced, comfortable, and certainly not painful.
But again, we have all this technology and we can ensure our patients’ safety and comfort because we have a spa that is managed by doctors. There are many other institutions out there where laser hair removal can be quite painful if the technician doing the procedure does not manage his clients’ treatment and recovery properly.
For those who might be considering a laser hair removal procedure, but still are not sure because they are afraid of how much it will hurt, it is important to find a spa like ours. If you find a spa that employs an actual physician, where they use the latest laser technology, and that truly cares about patient comfort and safety. Then you can be sure that your laser hair removal treatment is going to be as smooth and pain-free as possible.
