Laser Hair Removal
Excess facial or body hair can be a nagging cosmetic concern for men and women. While depilatories, shaving, waxing, and electrolysis are common solutions for temporary hair removal, they can be very uncomfortable and time consuming. A revolutionary solution for controlling and eliminating unwanted hair is laser hair removal. This cosmetic procedure uses intense laser light to minimize hair growth on the face, back, chest, breast, abdomen, arms, underarms, bikini area and/or legs. Laser hair removal offers a long-lasting, convenient and gentle solution to the problem of unwanted hair. Click here to read frequently asked questions regarding laser hair removal.
How does Laser Hair Removal work?
Laser Hair Removal uses a low-energy laser to gently remove unwanted hair. The laser energy passes through the skin and is absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicle. In a fraction of a second, the energy transforms to heat and the hair follicle is destroyed. Quick and convenient, full face, bikini line, and underarm treatments may take as little as 15 minutes. Most people require several treatments to destroy hair follicles in different growth cycles.
Am I a good candidate for Laser Hair Removal?
Patients with light skin and dark hair are the best candidates for Laser Hair Removal. Dark hair absorbs the most energy while light skin absorbs very little. The advantage is that the laser is able to target the follicle doing the most damage. While genetics play a role in selecting the best candidates for Laser Hair Removal, advanced technology has made hair removal effective for the rest of us as well. Today there are lasers for treating just about every skin type. However, If you have light hair such as blonde, grey or red, your color will not as readily absorb the laser energy. Technology still has not bridged the gap to an effective method for light hair patients.
How many laser treatments will I need?
The number of treatments suggested for optimal benefits usually depends on the area being treated, density and the growth cycle of the hair follicle. Age, Ethnicity, weight, hormones, diet, medication and metabolism all play a role in a patients hair distribution and resilience. In most cases total hair removal requires 6-8 treatments.
