What is LHR buttocks
Laser Hair Removal (LHR) for the buttocks is a safe and effective method for reducing unwanted hair in this area, providing smooth, irritation-free skin.
The procedure uses advanced laser technology to target hair follicles, gradually reducing hair growth while keeping the surrounding skin unharmed.
This treatment is ideal for individuals looking for a hygienic and long-lasting solution to shaving or waxing, offering improved comfort and confidence.
Things you should know before the treatment
- A consultation is recommended to assess hair and skin type for the best laser settings.
- Avoid waxing, plucking, or bleaching the hair for at least 4 weeks before treatment to ensure effective follicle targeting.
- Sun exposure and tanning should be avoided before and after the procedure to prevent irritation or pigmentation issues.
- The procedure is generally comfortable, though some patients may experience a mild stinging or warming sensation.
- Multiple sessions (typically 6-8) are required to achieve optimal results, as hair grows in different cycles.
What happens during the treatment
- The treatment area is cleansed, and protective eyewear is provided for safety.
- The laser device emits controlled pulses of light to target and disable hair follicles.
- Patients may feel a mild snapping or warming sensation as the laser penetrates the skin.
- The session usually lasts around 20-30 minutes, depending on hair density and skin type.
- A soothing cream or cooling gel is applied post-treatment to reduce any redness or sensitivity.
Recovery and results: What to expect
- Mild redness or sensitivity may occur but typically subsides within a few hours.
- Avoid sun exposure, hot showers, and excessive sweating for at least 48 hours post-treatment.
- Hair will gradually shed over the next few weeks as the follicles weaken.
- Sessions are spaced 4-6 weeks apart to target hair during different growth phases.
- With consistent treatments, hair becomes finer and sparser, leading to smoother, hair-free skin with long-term results.
