The Science Behind Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is a highly effective and science-backed method for achieving long-lasting hair reduction. At Columbia Laser Skin Center serving patients in The Dalles and Hood River, Oregon, we employ state-of-the-art technology to bring you the most advanced laser hair removal treatments available.

The core principle behind laser hair removal lies in the precise targeting of hair follicles while leaving the surrounding skin unharmed. This innovative process relies on the interaction between the laser light and the melanin (pigment) in your hair.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Selective Photothermolysis: The laser emits a concentrated beam of light that is absorbed by the melanin in the hair shaft. This energy is transformed into heat, which damages the hair follicle’s ability to regrow hair without causing harm to the adjacent skin.
  2. Precision: The laser is calibrated to specific wavelengths and pulse durations to ensure that it selectively targets the darker pigment in the hair while minimizing the absorption by the surrounding skin. This precision is what makes laser hair removal safe and effective.
  3. Hair Growth Cycles: Hair grows in different cycles, including the anagen (active), catagen (dormant), and telogen (shed) phases. Laser hair removal is most effective during the anagen phase when the hair is actively growing. It takes a minimum of 8 treatment sessions to catch hairs in the ideal growth phase (anagen) for best results.
  4. Gradual Hair Reduction: Over a series of treatments, the targeted hair follicles become progressively damaged, leading to a gradual reduction in hair growth. This results in smoother, hair-free skin that lasts.
  5. Comfort and Safety: We use advanced laser technology and employ certified professionals to ensure your comfort and safety during each treatment session.

Experience the science of laser hair removal for yourself at Columbia Laser Skin Center. Our team of Nationally Certified Aesthetic Laser Operators are here to answer your questions and guide you through a customized treatment plan that suits your unique needs. Say goodbye to unwanted hair and hello to the science of silky-smooth skin.

Prepping for Smoothness: Your Guide to Laser Hair Removal Preparation

Preparing for your laser hair removal treatment is a crucial step towards achieving the best results and a comfortable experience. Here’s what you need to know:

Preparing for Laser Hair Removal:

  1. Shave the Treatment Area: We recommend shaving the targeted area one day prior to your session. This ensures that the laser energy is focused on the hair follicles beneath the skin; and makes your treatment safer, more effective, and more comfortable.
  2. Avoid Sun Exposure: Minimize sun exposure and tanning beds for at least four weeks before and after your treatment. Sunburned or tanned skin can be more sensitive to the laser energy, and can lead to blistering and scarring.
  3. Skip Skincare Products: On the day of your treatment, avoid applying lotions, creams, or makeup to the area to be treated. Clean, product-free skin ensures better laser penetration.
  4. Skip Tweezing & Waxing: In order for you to get the most from your laser hair removal treatment, you will need to stop tweezing, waxing and bleaching at least 2 weeks before your treatment. Instead, you may shave or trim with scissors the area that you are having treated.

Experience the Laser Hair Removal Process: Step by Step

  1. Consultation: Your laser hair removal journey begins with a consultation at Columbia Laser Skin Center. Our experts will assess your skin type, hair color, and treatment area to determine the most suitable laser settings for your unique needs.
  2. Cleansing: Prior to the procedure, your skin will be cleansed to remove any oils, lotions, or makeup. Clean, product-free skin ensures optimal laser penetration, as well as a safe laser treatment.
  3. Safety Measures: Both you and your technician will be provided with protective eyewear to shield your eyes from the laser’s light.
  4. Laser Treatment: During the session, the laser will be precisely directed at the treatment area. You may feel a slight snapping sensation; like the snapping of a small rubber band as the laser targets the hair follicles while sparing the surrounding skin.
  5. Cooling and Comfort: Both of our lasers incorporate cooling mechanisms to enhance comfort during treatment, making it a generally well-tolerated experience. We also used ice packs and cooled gel for maximum safety and comfort.
  6. Post-Treatment Care: After the session, your skin may appear slightly red or feel sensitive, but this is typically lasts a few minutes to a few hours. You’ll receive aftercare instructions to ensure your skin remains healthy and irritation-free.

At Columbia Laser Skin Center, our experienced professionals ensure your laser hair removal process is as efficient and comfortable as possible. Enjoy the journey to smooth, hair-free skin, one session at a time.

Radiant Skin Care: Laser Hair Removal Aftercare

Congratulations on your laser hair removal session at Columbia Laser Skin Center! To maintain the results and ensure your skin’s health post-treatment, it’s essential to follow these aftercare guidelines:

  1. Sunscreen is Your Best Friend: Protect the treated area from harmful UV rays by applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher. Continue this practice daily. Sunscreen helps prevent skin damage, as your skin is more sensitive to damage from the sun after your laser treatment.
  2. Avoid Sun Exposure: Limit sun exposure, tanning beds, and prolonged periods in the sun for at least four weeks after your session. Sunburned or tanned skin is more sensitive and prone to adverse reactions.
  3. Skip Scrubs and Irritants: Refrain from using harsh exfoliants, scrubs, or skincare products with active ingredients on the treated area for a few days following your session. Gentle cleansing and moisturizing are all you need.
  4. Cool Compresses: If you experience mild discomfort or redness, applying cool compresses can provide relief.
  5. Avoid Hot Showers and Saunas: Hot water can exacerbate redness and sensitivity. Opt for lukewarm showers and avoid saunas for a few days.
  6. Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated and support the healing process.

By adhering to these aftercare instructions, you’ll help ensure the longevity of your results and minimize any potential side effects. If you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to reach out to our team at Columbia Laser Skin Center. We’re here to support you on your journey to smoother, hair-free skin.
