First-Time Laser Hair Removal: What to Expect

Navigating your first laser session is easy when you know the steps. This process ensures both safety and the best possible results.

1. Preparation (Before You Arrive)

• Shave the Area: Shave the treatment area approximately 24 hours before your appointment. This allows the laser to reach the hair follicle without interference from surface hair.

• Avoid the Root: Refrain from waxing, plucking, or using tweezers for at least 4 weeks prior to treatment. The laser requires the hair root to be intact for effectiveness.

• Stay Out of the Sun: Avoid tanning beds and direct sun exposure for 2 weeks before your session, as tanned skin is more sensitive.

• Clean Skin: On the day of your session, do not apply lotions, deodorants, or perfumes to the treatment area.

2. During the Session

• Consultation & Testing: Your technician will assess your skin type and perform a test patch to calibrate the laser settings for your needs.

• Eye Protection: Protective goggles will be provided to shield your eyes from the laser.

• The Sensation: Most clients describe the feeling as a quick snap—similar to a rubber band—along with a warm sensation.

• Duration: Sessions typically last between 15 to 60 minutes, depending on the area being treated.

3. Aftercare (The Recovery)

• Normal Reactions: Mild redness or slight swelling, similar to a minor sunburn, is common and usually subsides within a few hours.

• Avoid Heat: Stay away from hot showers, saunas, and strenuous exercise for 24–48 hours.

• Sun Shield: Protect the treated area with SPF 30+ sunscreen daily.

Body Sculpting - Cool Sculpting with Glypto

• Glypto Cryo Body Sculpting: This innovative, non-invasive treatment uses thermal shock (alternating heat and cold) combined with Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) to destroy fat cells and tone muscles in a single session.

• Key Benefits:

  • Fat Reduction: Fat cells are destroyed and naturally eliminated through the lymphatic system.

  • Skin Tightening: Thermal shock encourages deep collagen production, firming and smoothing the skin.

  • Muscle Toning: EMS technology sends gentle impulses that stimulate muscle contractions, mimicking the effects of physical exercise.

Body Contouring & Wellness Additions

• Ultrasonic Cavitation: A non-surgical fat reduction method that uses low-frequency sound waves to burst fat cell membranes under the skin. The liquefied fat is then naturally processed and eliminated by your lymphatic system, making it effective for stubborn fat in areas such as the abdomen and thighs.

• Radio Frequency (RF) Skin Tightening: This technology uses thermal energy to heat deep layers of the skin, stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin. It is particularly effective in tightening loose skin and reducing cellulite for a smoother appearance.

• EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation): Using electromagnetic energy, EMS induces thousands of "supramaximal" muscle contractions in a single 30-minute session. This process simultaneously builds muscle and burns fat, with results similar to doing 20,000 crunches or squats.

• Vibration Plate Therapy: Used as a post-treatment booster, the vibrating platform causes muscles to contract and relax rapidly, which stimulates lymphatic drainage, accelerates fat processing, and improves circulation and bone density.

• Infrared Pad Therapy: These pads emit deep-penetrating infrared light to safely raise core body temperature, promoting detoxification and muscle recovery. The gentle heat increases circulation and metabolic rate, helping flush out toxins released during sculpting sessions.
