Unwanted hair growth is a widespread issue for both women and men. Shaving, waxing and plucking can be uncomfortable and time consuming processes that should only be undertaken as necessary.
Laser hair removal in Jupiter FL provides an effective, long-term solution for unwanted hair. By permanently disabling hair follicles on Brazilian/Manzilian bikinis, legs and back areas, laser treatments permanently eliminate unwanted follicles which typically grow back thinner and lighter in color than ever before.
What to Expect
Laser hair removal is a safe, efficient way to address unwanted body hair. A laser’s light energy passes through your skin, absorbing pigment from hair shafts while simultaneously disabling their roots follicles so they no longer produce growth. Over time, repeated sessions may permanently reduce unwanted body hair.
Before your treatment begins, we’ll carefully cleanse the area and apply a numbing gel or topical anesthetic. Furthermore, protective eyewear will be provided in order to shield your eyes from laser beam.
Once you are ready, we will press a hand-held device against the area of your body where hair removal will be performed. Depending on the type of laser used, this may also include cooling devices or cool gel to protect your skin and lessen discomfort. Next, your doctor will activate the laser which delivers pulses of light directly into your skin to destroy hair follicles; you should feel something similar to pinpricking but should not be painful.
You will require multiple sessions of treatment in order to achieve maximum effectiveness, with most patients seeing significant reduction in the number of hairs that regrowth after three to five sessions. When they do reappear, however, they usually appear thinner and lighter colored than before. We may suggest occasional maintenance visits as part of your original plan to keep unwanted hair under control.
For optimal results, it’s recommended that you avoid tanning six weeks before and after receiving laser treatments. The laser light energy must distinguish between your skin tone and hair color to be able to detect hair follicles; without enough contrast it won’t do its job effectively. Waxing, plucking or electrolysis should also be avoided since these methods pull hairs out at their root which would render laser therapy ineffective.

How It Works
Unwanted hair growth can be both frustrating and time-consuming to address. Traditional methods, like shaving, waxing and depilatory creams provide only temporary relief that requires weekly or daily upkeep. Laser hair removal provides a safe and effective method for both men and women alike to reduce unwanted hair. In treatment sessions, laser light targets pigment in your hair to convert its energy into energy that damages its follicle and prevents its future growth – this process typically occurs over two to six sessions.
Before beginning the procedure, we’ll clean and apply topical numbing cream (if necessary). Next, our Lutronic Clarity II device will gently rub its handpiece across your target area to deliver calibrated wavelengths of light directly into your hair follicles – giving off a slight rubber band-snapping sensation which won’t cause pain or harm to surrounding tissue.
Before your laser light treatment begins, protective eye shields will be worn. Next, the technician will apply cooling gel or another cool tool to your skin in order to protect it and ensure that the laser light penetrates all layers beneath its surface. Finally, we give a pulse of light that many have described as feeling similar to being pinpricked by a warm pinprick and observe for several minutes to make sure there are no adverse side effects from this treatment.
Because of how quickly hair grows, multiple treatments will likely be necessary in order to effectively eradicate all unwanted hair. This is due to individual follicles being in various stages of their cycle when treated, including growing out, resting out or having already shed.
Dark colored hair responds best to laser treatments due to having more pigment that will absorb laser light more efficiently, but this treatment works on all hair and skin colors. We advise waiting six weeks between plucking/waxing sessions as well as sun exposure exposure in order to avoid complications during treatment.
Side Effects
Instead of waxing or plucking, laser hair removal permanently eliminates unwanted hair. Furthermore, it eliminates the need for regular shaving maintenance with razor blades and shaving creams. While laser hair removal is safe and effective, temporary side effects such as redness, swelling and sensitivity may occur; these symptoms usually subside within hours or days and the best way to minimize their severity would be applying a cold compress or taking anti-inflammatory medication to manage them.
Your doctor will start the treatment by fitting you with goggles to protect your eyes from laser light, then press a hand-held laser instrument against your skin – equipped with either cooling devices or cool gel tips – which might have cooling devices on its tip in order to decrease any discomfort experienced from treatment. After passing through your skin and onto the hair follicles, the laser’s heat will destroy them and stop further hair growth.
Your body’s hair grows in cycles, with each session targeting only those currently in an active growth phase. Therefore, six to 12 sessions should be scheduled over several weeks to achieve results; usually with thinner and finer-textured new growth in its place.
Your doctor will then recommend following their instructions for maintaining the appearance of your skin – this means avoiding direct sun exposure as much as possible and using broad-spectrum sunscreen when outside.
Laser treatments may damage your skin if performed by an unqualified provider, or someone unfamiliar with how the machine operates. When searching for a provider to do your laser hair removal treatment, always look for someone with experience and licensed within their state. Furthermore, make sure the physician will be present during each of your appointments to provide necessary supervision during their sessions.

Cost
Reducing unwanted hair growth can be a frustrating challenge for both men and women alike. While shaving, tweezing, waxing and depilatory creams all offer temporary solutions, laser hair removal may offer more permanent solutions to combat unwanted hair growth issues.
Laser hair removal works by damaging the base of hair follicles, which stops future growth of unwanted hair. Unlike other forms of hair removal, it does not depend on hair’s color or thickness to be effective, and is suitable for sensitive skin since it does not cause irritation or burns. However, prior to and in between laser treatments it is essential not to shave or use other methods of hair removal such as shaving.
Laser therapy treatments utilize pulses of light to improve the appearance of skin conditions such as scars, sun damage or enlarged pores. A specialist guides a device over any desired areas on either the face or body for this procedure and may apply topical anesthetic prior to begin to help minimize discomfort during this treatment process.
Refresh Palm Beach Med Spa and Laser Studio recommends this non-invasive procedure as safe for all skin types, but especially beneficial to those with darker or grayer hair. Consultation sessions must be scheduled as multiple treatments may be required in order to achieve optimal results.
