Laser hair removal provides an effective alternative to temporary methods like shaving, waxing and creams. Furthermore, treatment is quicker and less invasive than electrolysis which may take years for similar results.
Candidates seeking laser hair removal should commit to attending all necessary sessions for optimal results, avoiding sun exposure and tanning cream use before beginning treatment sessions.

Laser hair removal is an efficient and non-invasive solution to eliminating unwanted body hair. It works by targeting pigment in your hair to disallow its growth; safe for most skin types and safe to perform anywhere on the body including face, arms, legs, chest and back. When selecting your practitioner it’s essential that they are reliable to achieve maximum effectiveness from their treatment plan.
Many people experience unwanted hair growth on their bodies, and try various means of hair removal such as shaving, waxing, depilatory cream application or plucking to get rid of it. Unfortunately, these methods often result in painful side effects and only provide temporary solutions. At Park & Rebowe Clinic in Alabama we offer laser hair removal as an effective and permanent solution.
Our team of highly-skilled medical professionals use advanced laser technology to safely remove unwanted hair from your body. This procedure can be used by both men and women with dark hair on light skin, and also works exceptionally well when targeting sensitive areas like bikini lines and Brazilian areas.
At your consultation, we’ll assess the areas where you wish to remove unwanted hair, devise a personalized treatment plan tailored specifically to your needs and budget, discuss pre-treatment preparation options (e.g. avoiding sun exposure and shaving the area before scheduled appointments) as well as discuss laser hair removal processes with any questions that arise and answer any additional queries you might have about them.
Before your treatment begins, we will apply a topical numbing cream to ease discomfort. We advise avoiding shaving and tweezing in the area prior to your appointment and limiting sun exposure so as to reduce tanning. When going through laser hair removal sessions, you may experience pinprick sensations similar to pinstriping on thinner areas like your bikini line and armpit.
For optimal long-term results, the number of treatments necessary depends on both the thickness of your hair and area being treated. Some patients require as few as three sessions; others may need six or more. Sessions are typically scheduled every four to eight weeks to ensure maximum efficacy of treatment sessions.
Time
Laser hair removal is the permanent solution to unwanted hair removal. It works by targeting pigment (melanin) present in hair follicles to disable and inhibit future hair growth. The procedure is quick and painless compared to temporary methods like shaving, waxing or creams; and can be performed on any area of the body and is suitable for both men and women.
Laser hair removal works best on people with darker locks as the technology works more effectively on these strands of hair. While light or tanned skin types can still benefit, noticeable results may take longer. Be committed to your treatment plan and attend all sessions so as to get desired results.
Before your laser hair removal appointment, it is wise to avoid tanning and wear sunscreen when going outdoors. This will prevent darkening of the skin and make it easier for the laser to locate hair follicles. Furthermore, any other forms of hair removal such as plucking, shaving and waxing should also be stopped prior to going under the light beam – in particular any medications which make your skin sensitive to light should also be avoided.
As part of the laser hair removal process, the CoolGlide handpiece will glide gently over your skin while cooling and soothing it simultaneously. Depending on the area being treated, you may experience slight pinching or stinging sensations; an anesthetic gel may be applied beforehand to alleviate discomfort further if necessary.
Your individual laser hair removal treatment requirements depend on your unique requirements and the area being addressed. At your initial consultation with one of our skincare experts, they will assess your skin to identify which areas need attention and then create an individualized treatment plan – typically 6-8 treatments will produce desired results.
Prior to laser treatment, it’s wise to shave the area being treated. This will allow the laser to better target hair follicles without burning the surface of your skin, while shaving or waxing the area too close to your appointment can compromise its efficacy. In addition, avoid shaving or waxing during this timeframe – the follicles could be at any one of four different stages and must be targeted in their optimal stages for the best possible treatment results.
Area
Laser hair removal is an effective solution for eliminating unwanted body and facial hair. It works by targeting pigment in hair follicles, dissolving them and stopping future hair growth – far more effective than traditional shaving, which simply strips away surface skin without reaching roots. Although not permanent, laser treatment significantly reduces shaving and waxing needs over time and is much less painful than plucking or waxing procedures.
With so many types of laser hair removal treatments available today, it is crucial that you select an experienced provider. Some providers may offer cheaper prices but lack the equipment required for high-quality treatment; these inexperienced providers could lead to irreparable damage to your skin. Baldwin GYN & Aesthetics in Foley Alabama is an ideal place to begin; their Cutera CoolGlide laser is suitable for all skin types and colors while its soothing handpiece keeps skin cool during treatment; thus making the process quick and comfortable.
CoolGlide uses longer wavelength lasers than most, ensuring its use on even dark skin tones without risk. This enables it to target hair follicles without harming any surrounding tissue and more efficiently than traditional methods that take two or more hours per session – providing significant hair reduction after each visit! You will likely require multiple sessions for maximum effects but will notice significant reduction in hair growth with each one completed.
Before beginning laser hair removal treatments, it is recommended that you shave the area where the laser hair removal will be conducted. This allows it to target specific follicles and reduce risk of ingrown hairs. When shaving with a sharp razor and without using scented products it will give optimal results; waxing or plucking could actually pull hairs out of their follicles which would render laser treatment ineffective.
Results
Laser hair removal is a safe, long-term solution to unwanted hair that works for all skin types – even tanned ones! However, tanning should be avoided prior to laser hair removal for best results and the area must also be shaved prior to beginning treatments.
Lasers utilize light energy to target pigment and destroy hair follicles, leading to their hair fall-out and lighter surrounding tissue, providing smooth and soft skin free of unwanted hair growth. Some patients report seeing significant reduction in unwanted hair after only several treatment sessions.
Laser hair removal sessions are quick and painless, thanks to the CoolGlide handpiece which cools and soothes treatment areas as it glides across skin, making the experience comfortable for most people. Topical anesthetic may be used if desired but is usually unnecessary as pulses of light feel similar to rubber band snapping against skin.
Before your initial laser hair removal session at our clinic, we will conduct an in-depth consultation and evaluation of the treatment area. At this time, we will explain the process in full while answering any of your queries as well as provide pre-treatment instructions for optimal results.
At your laser hair removal treatment session, your technician will configure the handpiece according to your unique hair color and skin tone. A test spot will then be treated to ensure all settings are accurate and there are no adverse reactions from treatment. Six weeks prior to starting laser treatment sessions it is advised not to wax, pluck, shave or otherwise modify any areas in which laser will be performed.
Women and men who want to get rid of unwanted hair on their legs, arms, bikini line, back, or chest are typically suitable candidates for laser hair removal. This technique is particularly successful at targeting pubic region hair but can also be used elsewhere on the body.
