Tips for Getting the Best laser Hair Removal Treatments

Laser Hair Removal has become extremely popular and mainstream over the past decade. However, not all laser hair removal treatments or locations performing them are the same. There are many different types of lasers, factors, and technician training that go into getting a successful laser hair removal treatment. After managing a Medical Spa for 9 years-Winter Park laser & Anti-Aging Center in Orlando here are our top tips for finding a great place to give you successful laser hair removal treatments. Tip #1: Reputation is key-Always do your research on the company by doing an internet search to find online reviews, suggestions and check with your local Better Business Bureau. You can also look up how long they have been in business, what location they are found in and make sure that the person performing the service is licensed. A recommendation from a friend is always a great idea! Tip #2: Ask what technology/machine is being used on you and research that machine. We use the Palomar Starlux 500 and get great results. Pulsed light lasers can be just as effective as long as they are strong like Palomar. You want to ask how old the equipment is and if it has been serviced. Also, if you don’t feel it-it’s not working! Tip #3: Ask them who performs the treatment & if you will be with the same person every-time. Having the same experienced technician can make a difference because they know what settings they used on there and get used to your body and how you react. Also, at a franchise you will often get a different person every time as they have higher turn over this can often be someone inexperienced or not used to treating your body. Tip #4: Make sure you are a good candidate. If you are a blonde or redhead make sure that they have a handpiece especially for lighter hair or ask them to honestly tell you what type of result you can expect. If you have dark skin make sure they specialize in treating skin of color and hand a laser safe for dark skin, you can also ask them to perform a test spot on you to make sure you don’t have a negative reaction.
