Underarms take only a few minutes under the laser, which is less time than you'll spend on I-95 getting to the appointment. If you'd rather not make that drive twice, ask when you book whether a same-day laser hair removal consultation in Bel Air, MD can include your first laser hair removal session.
Here's how to prepare for your visit to Artistry in Plastic Surgery so nothing stands between you and your first treatment.
What Happens at a Same-Day Laser Hair Removal Consultation in Bel Air, MD?
At the beginning of your visit, your laser provider will look at the areas you want treated and check your skin tone and hair color for the Optimas by InMode laser. Be sure to mention any recent sun, self-tanner, or medications that make you sun-sensitive. From there, you'll get a customized treatment plan with the number of sessions, usually two to six, and a price per area. If your skin is ready and the schedule allows, your first session follows in the same room.
During the treatment, you'll put on protective eyewear, and each pulse feels like a rubber band snapping against your skin. Your provider may apply a topical numbing solution first if you'd like.
How Do I Prepare So My First Laser Hair Removal Treatment Can Happen That Day?
Before your appointment, the prep for a same-day start usually includes:
shaving the treatment areas the night before, with no waxing or plucking for about six weeks
staying out of the sun and removing any self-tanner
clean skin on the day, free of deodorant, lotion, or perfume
Post-procedure, your skin may look pink and feel like a mild sunburn for a day or so. That part is normal. Other than that, you can go about your daily routine as you normally would, including the drive home. You should start to see shedding within a few weeks, and you'll come back about every four to six weeks for the rest of your series.
Our Bel Air office sits on South Atwood Road, and the practice is led by Dr. Brent Birely, a board-certified plastic surgeon. If you'd rather pay for a series monthly, the practice also offers financing through CareCredit and Alphaeon.
