Hair Free Mission – WEEK 1 LEGS

In an attempt not to gross you out, I decided this time I wouldn’t do a before photo of my legs…(they’re seriously hairy!!) So let’s just focus on the results of what laser hair removal treatment can do for people who dislike having to constantly shave their legs OR cover them up because they’re too hairy like mine!


May from Nad’s Laser Clinic in Castle Hill starts to clean and prepare by gridding my legs. (Nad’s laser clinic is also located at Parramatta, Warringah Mall, Burwood and Sydney CBD.)

TIP: You don't need to let your hair grow like you do with waxing before your treatment. You can shave your legs the night before or if you've forgotten your Nad’s laser technician can do it for you during your appointment! Don't be put off if you have skin conditions, Nad’s laser clinics do a FREE Consultation for you prior to your treatment commencing.


So May my laser therapist, starts to work from my ankles up to the very top of my thighs, I've decided to get my full legs done. Some parts of my upper thigh area have very fine patchy blocks of hair that doesn't really bother me but I was given the option to do half, ¾ or a full leg.

I know what you’re all waiting to hear, is it painful to get the legs done? Not at all! But it really depends on your personal pain threshold, so for me I was fine. The legs themselves are totally fine you barely feel anything just that burning plus a quick jolt of cooling as I explained when getting my underarms and arms done. The two areas that are sensitive are your ankles and the backs of your knees but totally bearable and literally last a couple of seconds. You just need to think of the positives! What it’s going to look like once I’ve finished my treatments!!


AFTER FIRST LASER HAIR REMOVAL TREATMENT
Stay tuned to my results for my hair free legs over the next couple of weeks.

AFTER CARE: For any laser treated area this is really important. I was told for all the treatments I’m having that I could expect to see hair growth over the next seven days (from the day I had the treatment done) but that the root of the hair would be dead so I could start to exfoliate my skin gently to remove excess dead skin also the exfoliant is designed to gently remove the dead hair from the follicle as there is no root to push the hair through, it needs to be done manually. This also helps with quicker results as the laser beam doesn’t need to fight through dead skin first before reaching the hair follicle.
