Laser Hair Removal: Your Guide with Cutera Xeo

Your Guide to Laser Hair Removal with Cutera Xeo: What to Expect

Thinking about switching to laser hair removal? Our state-of-the-art Cutera Xeo system provides a comfortable, effective way to achieve lasting hair reduction. Here’s everything you need to know about the process, benefits, and how to prepare for your treatment.

How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?

Laser hair removal uses concentrated light to target hair follicles, heating them to inhibit future growth. This technology provides a longer-term reduction in hair with fewer maintenance appointments, helping clients enjoy smooth skin with minimal upkeep.

Safe and Effective Technology

Our experienced Laser Therapists operate the Cutera Xeo, a leading medical-grade laser hair removal system that’s safe and effective for all skin tones. A consultation and patch test are required prior to starting treatment to ensure optimal results and comfort for every client.

What You Can Expect from the Process

During your appointment, the targeted area will be prepared and treated with the Cutera Xeo laser, offering a precise and comfortable experience. Most clients find the sensation to be tolerable, describing it as a mild snapping. Post-treatment, the skin may appear slightly red, similar to a light sunburn, which should subside quickly.

For optimal results, we recommend a course of 8-12 treatments, spaced 4 weeks apart, depending on the area and individual hair growth patterns. While the results provide permanent hair reduction, occasional maintenance sessions may be necessary for best results over time.

Benefits of Choosing Laser Hair Removal

• Permanent Hair Reduction: Unlike traditional methods, laser hair removal offers fast, safe, cost-effective, and reliable results for long-term hair reduction.
• Reduced Ingrown Hairs: Laser treatment targets the hair follicle at the root without disrupting the skin’s surface, making it a great option even for those with sensitive skin or prone to ingrown hairs.
• Convenient & Cost-Effective: Save time and money in the long run with fewer maintenance sessions. Plus, we offer competitive rates on all our treatments.

Preparing for Your Treatment

To help you get the best possible results, follow these steps:

• Avoid Sun Exposure: Refrain from tanning or prolonged sun exposure on the treatment area in the weeks leading up to your session.
• Skip Waxing and Tweezing: Avoid these methods as they temporarily remove the hair follicle; shaving is fine in the lead-up to your appointment.
• Arrive with Clean Skin: On the day of your treatment, skip lotions, creams, and deodorants on the targeted area.

FAQ: Your Top Questions Answered

Q: How many sessions will I need?

A: We recommend a minimum of 8-12 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart for best results. This may vary based on the treatment area and your individual hair growth patterns.

Q: Does it hurt?

A: Experiences vary, but the Cutera Xeo system is designed for comfort. Most clients describe a mild snapping sensation that is generally well-tolerated.

Q: When will I see results?

A: Many clients notice a reduction in hair after just a few sessions, with the full benefits typically visible after completing the recommended course.

Q: Can I shave between sessions?

A: Yes! Shaving is allowed between sessions, but avoid waxing or tweezing.

Q: Can I have Laser Hair Removal over the top of tattoos?

A: No, unfortunately, we cannot treat over tattoos with our laser. However, we can safely treat around tattooed areas, leaving a gap of approximately 3cm to avoid any damage to the tattooed skin.

Q: Will this work on all hair colours?

A: Laser hair removal targets the pigment in hair, so it’s most effective on darker hair. Unfortunately, light blonde, grey, and white hairs do not contain enough pigment to effectively treat with this laser technology.
