✨Smooth, Confident, Carefree: Your Guide to Laser Hair Removal at Helton House
Let’s talk about one of our most popular services—laser hair removal. If you’re tired of constant shaving, painful waxing, or feeling self-conscious about unwanted hair, laser hair removal might be your new favorite treatment. And don’t worry—we’re breaking it all down so you know exactly what to expect and how to prep like a pro.
🔍 What Is Laser Hair Removal, Really?
Laser hair removal uses targeted light energy to damage hair follicles at the root, which slows and eventually stops hair growth. It’s safe, effective, and gets you long-term results when done correctly and consistently.
✅ Who Is It For?
Laser hair removal works best on people with light skin and dark hair, but technology has come a long way! At Helton House, we assess your skin tone and hair color to determine if you're a good candidate. We always put safety first, so if you’re unsure, we’ll guide you through the consultation process and let you know your options.
⚠️ Not ideal for:
Very light blond, gray, or white hair
Recently tanned skin or sunburn
People with certain medications or skin conditions (we'll cover that at your consultation)
🗓️ Before Your Appointment: Prep Like a Pro
Proper prep = better results.
Here’s your pre-treatment checklist:
Shave the area 12–24 hours before your appointment. No waxing, plucking, or threading for at least 3–4 weeks prior.
Avoid sun exposure and self-tanners for two weeks before.
Skip skincare products (like retinols or acids) on the area the day before and of your treatment.
No deodorant if you're treating underarms.
Stay hydrated and avoid caffeine that morning to help minimize sensitivity.
🧴 What to Expect During the Treatment
The treatment itself is quick and precise. Most people describe the sensation as a quick snap, like a rubber band. If you're worried about discomfort, don't be—our team works fast and makes sure you’re comfortable every step of the way.
⏳ Aftercare: What Comes Next?
Here’s what to expect post-laser:
Mild redness and sensitivity are normal and usually fade within a few hours.
Avoid hot showers, saunas, and workouts for 24 hours.
No sun or tanning (yep, again!) for at least a week.
You may notice hair shedding over the next 1–2 weeks—this is a good thing!
Stick to your treatment plan. Most people need 6–8 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart.
🤔 Is It Permanent?
Laser hair removal gives you long-term reduction, not instant or total removal. After your initial sessions, maintenance treatments every few months will keep you smooth and stubble-free.
