What to expect during laser hair removal
At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine in Carlsbad, CA, your laser hair removal journey begins with a consultation to evaluate your skin type, hair color, and the areas you’d like treated. Our experienced team will customize the laser settings to ensure safe, effective results. Small areas like the upper lip take only a few minutes, while larger areas such as the legs may take about an hour.
The procedure itself is relatively quick, and while you may feel a mild snapping sensation, the treatment is generally well-tolerated thanks to advanced cooling systems that help minimize discomfort. After treatment, you can resume your normal activities with little to no downtime.
Post-treatment care and side effects
After your session, you might experience minor redness, swelling, or a slight sunburn-like sensation, which typically resolves within a few hours. Applying aloe vera or a cold compress can help soothe the area. Avoid sun exposure and use sunscreen to protect the treated areas. Results will improve with each session, and regular treatments may be necessary to maintain optimal hair reduction.
