Exactly What To Expect During A Laser Hair Removal Treatment With Us

« back to Laser Hair Removal

Prior to your first treatment, you will have a consultation with our guest consultant. You will enter the Medical Spa and be offered your choice of a coffee, organic herbal tea or water. You will be taken to a private area for your consultation to make you feel comfortable. During the consultation, we will determine your skin type, review any medications you have been taking and get a general health history.
If you are on medications that could create photosensitivity (please see Photosensitivity portion of this website) or if there is an issue in your medical history that could result in a less than ideal treatment, we will either perform a test spot or inform you that laser hair removal may not be safe or effective at this time.
Following the consultation, if we determine you are a good candidate, we will proceed with treatment starting with a test spot. This spot typically is inside the arm. While we wait a few minutes to see what effect the test spot has on your skin, we will ask that you specifically let us know what hair you want removed. We can even offer you a new white eyeliner pencil so you can draw where you would like the laser hair removal to start and end.
Each person receiving a laser treatment will be wearing protective eyewear. You will still be able to see through the safety goggles and even read your favorite magazine we have provided, but your eyes will be completely protected. The laser technicians wear a type of eyewear, as well.

You will lay down on our luxuriously soft spa bed and choose your music selection- your favorite CD, radio station or relaxing spa music. The lights will be gently dimmed- falling asleep is both allowed and encouraged and many of our customers have done so! Many clients choose this time apply one of our rejuvenating eye masks and extra special treat! During the treatment, all areas of the body that will not be lasered will be covered with clothing. Only the areas to receive laser treatment will be exposed. Much like massage, we use modesty towels to cover any area adjacent to the area being treated. We are always mindful of your comfort and your peace of mind. There won't be any surprises as we will let you know ahead of time what to expect. Your treatment will be finished with a relaxing shoulder or hand massage if you would like- whatever we can do to get you feeling rejuvenated and refreshed!

 Our clients are looking for professional, skilled, friendly clinicians and that is what our clients find at the Laser Center at Glow MedSpa. As a medical office we must always follow HIIPA (privacy guidelines). These laws prohibit us from sharing your experience with others. Our staff is well trained and confident.
We ask that you arrive on time for your appointment. We also ask that you shave whatever possible yourself. Shaving the full bikini area may be tough for some, but we encourage you to try. Patients are typically much more comfortable shaving themselves than when we have to shave them. We also ask that you are freshly showered or bathed with completely clean skin, without lotions, creams or fragrances of any kind before coming in. Following a treatment you may feel a little sensitive, but generally people just feel very clean and sleek. More good news is you don't need to wait for hair to grow in like waxing, you can continue shaving any hair you see (it will be reduced immediately).
When you are confident you glow- and we want to help you feel as confident as possible both about choosing us and eventually about your sleek smooth new skin! Smooth skin is in- and the place to get it is at the Laser Center at Glow.
