What is Candela laser hair removal?
The Candela laser hair removal in Wheaton IL
works by emitting a specialized light that passes through your skin and is absorbed by the melatonin (i.e. color) of your hair follicle. This damages your follicle and causes your hair to fall out. It is an effective laser hair removal treatment for all skin types and colors.
The laser energy brought by Candela is delivered through a small hand piece that is manually operated by the laser technician. It delivers an intense beam of light that is being absorbed by your skin, which is converted to heat. The heat is then absorbed by your cells being targeted, while the surrounding tissues remain unaffected. Following the procedure, you may experience some temporary skin irritation and redness, but this should resolve after a few days. Make sure to protect your new contours from direct sun exposure and apply plenty of sunscreen daily. It is important that you follow all instructions given to you for a quick and easy recovery.
Results
Following a laser hair removal treatment, you will notice a reduction in the amount and thickness of hair. Your skin will look and feel smoother after just one sitting. A laser hair treatment will also boost your appearance and self-esteem. On average, you will need to undergo at least six treatments to get the results you desire. Additional touch-up sessions may be required depending on the amount of hair in the treated area.
What to Expect from Your Treatment
During the Session
Your treatment will begin with a quick skin assessment. The laser will then be passed over the treatment area, emitting light pulses that target and destroy hair follicles. You might feel a slight tingling or snapping sensation, but the system’s cooling technology ensures maximum comfort.
After the Session
Post-treatment, you may notice some redness or mild swelling, similar to a sunburn. These effects typically fade within a few hours. You’ll soon see hair shedding, and after a few sessions, you'll notice significantly less regrowth.
Results
Results are visible after the first session, with optimal results achieved after 6-8 sessions. Maintenance treatments may be needed every 6-12 months to keep your skin smooth and hair-free.
How to Prepare for Your Laser Hair Removal
Shave the Area: Shave the treatment area 24 hours before your appointment. Avoid waxing, plucking, or using depilatory creams.
Avoid Sun Exposure: Limit sun exposure and avoid tanning beds for at least two weeks before your treatment.
Skip Certain Products: Refrain from using any skincare products with active ingredients like retinoids or acids on the treatment area for a few days before your session.
No Makeup, Lotions, or Deodorant: On the day of your appointment, come with clean, product-free skin in the area to be treated.

-
Laser hair removal offers long-lasting hair reduction, but it may not be entirely permanent. Most clients experience significant hair reduction that lasts for several months to years. Occasional maintenance sessions may be needed to maintain the results.

Laser hair removal is most effective on dark hair because the laser targets the pigment (melanin) in the hair follicle. It is less effective on very light, blonde, gray, or red hair, as these hair colors have less pigment for the laser to target.
-
Laser hair removal can be performed on almost any area of the body where unwanted hair grows, including the face, legs, arms, underarms, back, chest, bikini line, and more.
-
It is generally recommended to avoid laser hair removal during pregnancy due to the lack of research on its effects on pregnant women. We suggest waiting until after childbirth to begin or continue treatments.
-
After laser hair removal, avoid sun exposure and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen on treated areas. Avoid hot showers, saunas, and intense physical activity for 24 hours. Keep the area moisturized and avoid irritating skincare products like retinoids or acids for a few days.
-
Laser hair removal is an excellent option for reducing or eliminating ingrown hairs. By targeting the hair follicles and reducing hair growth, it can help prevent the formation of ingrown hairs over time.

If you have unwanted hair and are looking for a long-term solution, you may be a good candidate for laser hair removal.

During your consultation, we’ll assess your suitability for the treatment.
-
It’s best to avoid using skincare products containing active ingredients like retinoids, acids, or vitamin C on the treatment area for a few days before your session. These products can make your skin more sensitive and increase the risk of irritation.
