You did it – you took the plunge and committed to laser hair removal treatments to kiss unwanted hair goodbye. And after multiple sessions, you’re thrilled with the smooth, hair-free results.
But as time passes, you notice a few stubborn hairs creeping back in. Don’t worry, this is completely normal!
While laser hair removal aims to provide permanent reduction, maintenance is needed due to hair growth cycles. This is where laser touch ups come in, and at Ethos Spa, we’re here to get your glow back on track.
What Are Laser Hair Removal Touch Ups?
Laser hair removal touch ups, also known as maintenance sessions, are follow-up treatments that target hairs that have regrown after the initial round of laser sessions. They help maintain the smooth, hair-free results achieved through the main laser hair removal treatments.
Touch ups are usually needed because laser hair removal does not completely eliminate all hair follicles in an area. The hair growth cycle means dormant follicles can become active again over time and produce new hair growth. Touch ups target these newly activated follicles.
Why Are Touch Ups Important?
Consistency is key when it comes to laser hair removal results. Skipping touch up sessions can allow newly grown hairs to become more dense, coarse, and numerous. Staying on top of maintenance ensures your skin remains free of unwanted hair regrowth between main treatments.
Touch ups are quick, easy, and more affordable than starting the hair removal process all over again. They provide a way to protect your investment in smooth, hair-free skin.
What Are The Benefits of Laser Touch Up Treatments?
- Precision targeting of stray regrowth
- Fast sessions with minimal discomfort
- Maintain the look and feel of hair-free skin
- Avoid the hassle and cost of restarting the process
- Customized to your specific areas of re-growth
- Increased confidence from consistent smooth skin
