What does the treatment feel like?
Each pulse of light feels like a slight sting or pinch, similar to the snap of a rubber band. Patients agree that the procedure is not unduly painful, and certainly much less uncomfortable than electrolysis. For sensitive patients, a topical anesthetic cream may be applied to sensitive areas.

Can all hair be treated?
IPL technology's unique design offers you customized treatment according to your hair color, texture and body location, no matter how deep the follicles are located. Any hair with at least some pigment in it (black, brown, red, and even blond) can be treated effectively.

Is this safe for all skin types?
IPL is the first hair removal procedure proven to effectively treat unwanted hair on all skin types, including dark-skinned individuals such as those of Black, Hispanic, and Asian descent.

Are there any possible side effects?
Side effects are rare. You may experience some slight redness or swelling at the site of treatment, but this typically goes away within hours. On rare occasions, some blistering or bruising may occur, but typically resolves quickly. Also, the skin may become darker or lighter following treatment, but will generally return to normal within a few weeks. Limiting sun exposure before and after each treatment will minimize the risk of complications.

What kind of results should I expect?
IPL technology has been proven to create a permanent reduction in the number of re-growing hairs following each treatment in most skin types. The number of treatments required depends on several factors related to your specific kind of hair and skin.

How many treatments will be needed?
The number of treatments required to obtain optimal results varies with hair density, hair color, skin types, the treatment area and your hair growth cycle. The density of your hair and its growth cycle are affected by many things such as your age, ethnic background, hormones or medications. IPL treatments impair the growth capacity of hair follicles when they are in a growth cycle at the time of treatment. All hair follicles are not active at the same time. Depending upon the growth cycle of the follicles when the treatment is applied, several treatments with a few weeks in between may be required to obtain the optimal effect. A customized treatment program will be designed for you along with an estimate of how many treatments you may need in order to meet your expectations.

Is laser IPL hair removal permanent?
At BHAAG, only laser technology that are approved for permanent hair reduction are used. This means most patients will achieve long-term, stable reduction in the number of hairs re-growing in the treated areas. The amount of permanent reduction increases with the number of treatments. Occasionally, you may have a few hairs re-grow over a period of time.

How long do the treatments take?
We can treat some areas in only a few minutes. Others, such as the back or legs, require 20-60 minutes. For example, the underarms or bikini lines take only fifteen minutes.

What should I expect following the treatment?
Once the treatment is complete, the area exposed to the laser is cleansed and you are free to return to your normal routine. Some patients may experience a slight reddening around hair follicles following the treatment, which typically disappears within a few minutes. It is always recommended to avoid sun exposure or to use sunscreen following the laser treatment.
Hair follicles affected by the laser are lifeless and your body will attempt to cast them off over a period of time. It will seem that the hair continues to grow for one to two weeks after the procedure, but in fact these lifeless hairs will easily fall out.

Is laser hair removal safe?
Since only light is used to remove hair, it is totally non-invasive. Your eyes will be shielded during the treatment. While there is a slight chance of skin irritation and pigment changes, these are rare due to the type of lasers used at BHAAG and the training of our staff.
