Beauty Tips

Some expert tips on laser hair removal treatments from Dr Awudu and his team of Doctors.


1. Find a clinic/spa where a doctor or nurse does the laser hair removal. A good suggestion is Laserderm laser and skin clinics located in Ikeja, Lagos

Before any treatment is carried out, a thorough assessment of your individual skin needs is carried out and a special treatment program is recommended to help you get that glowing and beautiful skin you have always desired. Specialized professionals trained internationally deliver safe, proven and effective non-surgical skin care treatments right.


2. Avoid Laser Hair Removal If Pregnant

As a pregnant woman, your hormones are constantly changing. The hair is controlled by hormones, as your hormones change so will the hair. It is best to avoid any laser procedure when pregnant, better to seek the advise of a medical practitioner.


3. Lasering Does Not Give Permanent Hair Removal Overnight

I have seen one too many advertisements claiming that they can permanently remove your hair. Note that laser is a series of treatment that will bring about the best results in hair removal. Do not be fooled by products or technologies that offer instant results.


4. Laser Hair Removal Does Not Have To Be Painful

Talk to your doctor about pain killers before the procedure also a good clinic or spa should recommend numbing creams that help with the pain; though a side effect of numbing creams is that it does not allow you to feel the heat of the laser, thus might make it easier for you to burn without you feeling it at the time of the procedure.

5. Do Not Be Afraid To Speak Up

You know your body better than anyone else. If it feels too hot it means it is. You should feel a warm sensation but the laser should never feel hot. If it’s uncomfortable make sure you speak up and let your laser practitioner know they need to turn it down.
