Leg Laser Hair Removal
The one area of their body where women have the most ongoing need to be hair-free is on their legs. It’s also a more pressing need to given the fact that hair grows up and down the entirety of the leg and is always on display when it’s there. Then there’s the role of classic perceptions of femininity; women have been shaving and waxing their legs routinely for generations.
Nowadays, however, laser hair removal for legs is a nice alternative for women who would rather not pick up a razor or painfully pull away a strip of wax ever again. Here at Maya Laser we are a solid choice for leg laser service in Victoria, and we strive to make it so that every women knows the potential laser treatments have for permanent hair removal.
It’s important to understand that the greater expanse of hair on the legs makes it so these laser hair removal treatments take more time to complete and cost more as a result. However, the results are impressive and most women will be upwards of 90% hair free following 3 to 5 sessions of laser hair removal for legs. It is true that some people will required more than 5 sessions for laser hair removal on their legs.
Forever Smooth Legs
Any hair that does remain on the legs after laser hair removal is much more easily taken off, and while you can shave or use wax it’s often that a depilatory is the best choice for quickly and easily eliminating any remaining smaller and thinner hairs on the legs.
One of the advantages we have with laser hair removal for legs is that we use the Candela GentleMax laser machine exclusively at our Victoria clinic, and it is effective for use with all different types of skin shades, from light to dark. For this reason we’re able to provide leg laser service in Victoria to women of nearly any ethnicity and skin colour.
One last thing to keep in mind with this treatment is that it is best to avoid sun exposure for six weeks before and after this laser treatment. Your laser technician will explain this to you at our clinic during your initial consultation, as well as remind you of it once each treatment is completed. The skin is shaved prior to any laser hair removal treatment to allow the laser to disable the hair follicle at the root.
You can expect to have prolonged redness and some skin sensitivity following laser hair removal on your legs, but it will pass in a short period of time. Keep in mind that once your series of treatments are completed you’ll have forever smooth legs after laser hair removal.
