Why Laser hair?
Long-term hair removal treatments have become the go-to solution for patients who are tired of relying on shaving, waxing, plucking, and using messy depilatory creams.
Venus Versa™ hair removal treatments are for individuals who want to permanently reduce unwanted hair on their face or body because they’re tired of the conventional methods that only yield temporary results. You may not be able to get this hair removal treatment if you have/are:
-
Metal or other implants in the treatment area
-
Current or history of cancer
-
Pregnant or nursing
-
Any diseases that can be stimulated by light (e.g. epilepsy)
-
History of disease that can be stimulated by heat (e.g. herpes)
-
Poorly controlled endocrine disorders (e.g. diabetes or polycystic ovary syndrome)
-
Any active condition in the treatment area (e.g. eczema, psoriasis, rash)
-
History of skin disorders, keloids, unusual wound healing, or excessively dry and/or sensitive skin
-
Any surgical procedures within the past 3 months
-
A tattoo or permanent makeup in the treatment area
-
Excessively tanned skin
How far apart are my treatments?
Treatments are done 4-6 weeks apart for the face and 4-8 weeks apart for the body.
What do I do after treatment?
Be sure to gently clean the treated area twice a day and apply sunscreen; however, avoid excessive sun exposure. You should also avoid hot baths, massages, or any treatment that requires direct contact with the skin for the first 2 days after your treatment. Avoid tanning for at least 2 weeks before and 2 weeks afterward.
Is laser hair painful?
The applicator has a built-in cooling feature to make the treatment as comfortable as possible, but you might feel a bit of discomfort if you’re treating a more sensitive area, like along the bikini line. If you find it too uncomfortable, let your treatment provider know and they can adjust the settings accordingly.
