subject: Remove Unwanted Hair With Popular Laser Hair Removal [print this page] If the hassles of repeated shaving, tweezing, or waxing, have become too much of a burden, laser hair removal may be an option worth considering. So say goodbye to unwanted hair that leaves you with bumps, nicks, or burns and say hello to skin that is smooth without the need to remove hair every day. AesthetiCare offers laser hair removal treatments with four FDA approved lasers to remove unwanted hair. The type of laser used depends on the color of your skin, color of hair, and anatomical zone, which will be discussed in your consultation. So if you are annoyed with the hair in your bikini zone, underarms, face, back, chest, or legs, laser hair removal may be just what you are looking for.
What is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is a medical procedure that utilizes a laser to remove unwanted hair. During your treatment, a laser beam will pass through the skin to an individual hair follicle. The intense heat of the laser then damages the hair follicle, which inhibits future hair growth. Although laser hair removal effectively slows hair growth, it does not always guarantee permanent hair removal. However, it will typically take several laser hair removal treatments to provide an extended hair-free period with periodic maintenance needed.
With laser hair removal you can eliminate unwanted hair in nearly any area. Common treatment locations include legs, armpits, upper lip, chin and the bikini line. Some benefits of laser hair removal include:
*Precision - with lasers, dark, coarse hair can be selectively targeted while leaving the surrounding skin undamaged.
*Speed - each pulse of the laser takes only a fraction of a second and can treat multiple hairs at the same time.
*Predictability - after an average of three to five sessions, approximately 90% of patients will experience permanent hair loss.
On average, 4-8 laser hair removal treatments are need for maximum results, and are also performed once every 4-8 weeks depending on the area of the body being treated. With new lasers at AesthetiCare, all skin types can be treated safely and accurately.
Preparing for Your Procedure
Undergoing laser hair removal is a lot more than just the "zapping" of unwanted hair-it is a medical procedure that requires training to perform properly as it can carry potential risks if not completed properly. Before your treatment, you should limit tweezing, waxing, and electrolysis for six weeks before your treatment. By doing so, this helps the laser target the hairs' roots, which are temporarily removed by waxing or plucking. It is also important to avoid sun exposure as this can decrease the effectiveness of laser hair removal and increases the risk of complications following treatment.
