Laser hair removal is the targeted elimination of unwanted hair through the application of concentrated beams of laser energy. The hair follicles contain a pigment called melanin that absorbs this energy, preventing the hair from further growth.
Compared with other traditional counterparts like shaving, waxing, or tweezing, laser hair removal offers a longer lasting and more permanent solution.
At Delta Laser, we know laser and prioritize safe treatments to help you achieve smooth, excess-hair-free skin and believe you should be well informed.
Because there are many concerns, myths and misconceptions surrounding laser hair removal, which create hesitation for this treatment.
In this post, we’ll address these and provide accurate information to help you make an informed decision about laser hair removal.
Yes, but it’s recommended to wait before shaving immediately after laser hair removal. Between scheduled sessions, shaving is often the preferred method of removal.
This is because the treatment works progressively over multiple sessions. It targets hair in the active growth phase, meaning it doesn’t remove all hair in one session.
In addition, while laser hair removal can lead to a permanent reduction in hair growth, it’s hard to guarantee that every hair follicle will be eliminated.

While the initial cost of laser hair removal might seem high compared to traditional hair removal methods, it can be a cost-effective investment in the long run.
Laser hair removal saves you money in the long run by eliminating the need for frequent shaving, waxing, or using depilatory creams. This also saves you time and effort.

Yes, but immediately after laser hair removal, it’s best to limit exercise to optimize healing and minimize irritation. After laser hair removal, it's best to avoid intense workouts or activities that cause a lot of sweating for at least 24-48 hours.
Because strenuous exercise raises your body temperature and leads to sweating, this can irritate the treated area. This increases the risk of the skin becoming red, swollen, or developing a rash.
Following the initial healing period, you can gradually get back to your regular exercise routine.

No, at present, it hasn’t been conclusively determined whether laser hair removal is safe during breastfeeding. But even though there’s no clear, current research showing that laser hair removal is unsafe while breastfeeding, it’s advisable to be cautious.
We recommend waiting till after you’ve finished breastfeeding to get this treatment done, to ensure the safety of both you and your baby.
No, we usually advise avoiding laser hair removal on tattooed skin. Laser energy can break down tattoo ink, which can lead to discoloration, fading, or blurring of the tattoo design.
If you need laser hair removal on a large area that includes a tattoo, schedule a consultation with us to discuss strategies for minimizing these risks.
