Are you tired of
tweezing? Sick of shaving? Fed up with hair removal creams? That only burn your
skin or waxing treatments that lead to ingrown hairs. An expert in laser hair removal
can help you with all of your hair reduction needs. Getting rid of unwanted hair can be like
getting rid of weeds. No matter how often you pull, cut, or rip, they come
back.
Laser hairremoval is the process of removing unwanted hair by means of exposure to pulses
of laser light that destroy the hair follicle. The laser targets the melanin in
the hair, heats it up, and destroys it, greatly slowing regrowth. The entire
process is relatively pain free, and patients generally enjoy great results
after several treatments.
Hair removals are commonly done for the following
area:
·
Face
·
Neck
·
Bikini
area

Back

Legs

Upper lip
Older, more traditional methods of removing
unwanted hair:
·
Depilatories – hair dissolvers
·
Epilators – mechanical devices that pull the hair from the skin
·
Shavers – tedious and makes the hair appear thicker because the cut ends
are now flat
·
Waxing – potentially can cause scars or pigmentation
·
Electrolysis – extremely time consuming and slow process
The new way to solve
unwanted hair problems is with laser and light therapies. Beyond the
undesirable cosmetic issues, excess hair, especially excess facial hair,
creates profound psychological effects.
How
do Hair Lasers Work?
Lasers produce
highly focused, intense beams of light that are absorbed by dark pigments in
the hair follicles beneath the skin’s surface. This is conducted under the
supervision of a specialized dermatologist or a surgeon as it causes a
purposeful build-up of heat, destroying most of the follicles and preventing
hair growth.

·
Virtually pain-free

Quick treatments are usually under one hour
