Laser hair removal is a quick and painless way to get rid of unwanted body hair, making it an attractive alternative to waxing, shaving, tweezing and electrolysis.
Laser energy is administered directly into a hair follicle to target melanin in order to damage it and stop future hair growth. Treatment sessions are spread out over several months in order to capture all anagen hairs as soon as they enter this phase of growth.
What are the Benefits?
Unwanted hair can be embarrassing and distressing. Furthermore, waxing, shaving, chemically removing or plucking unwanted hair from areas such as the face, neck, ears, underarms, bikini area back chest or abdomen can be time consuming and costly processes that involve waxing shaveing chemically removing plucking etc. Laser hair removal offers an efficient yet relatively pain-free alternative. After applying a numbing gel the laser light beam passes over unwanted area damaging hair follicles leaving them disabled and incapable of producing more growth – eliminating unwanted hair growth for good.
Laser hair removal is a safe procedure that does not cause significant discomfort; some patients have reported feeling like rubber band snapping sensations on sensitive areas like their faces or bikinis, for instance. Compared to waxing which can often be painful, laser hair removal offers faster and more effective solution for unwanted hair removal from areas like face, arms, legs chest or abdomen.
Laser hair removal is a non-invasive treatment suitable for all skin types and hair colors, though those with darker locks tend to benefit most from its application as the contrast helps the laser locate each follicle more quickly. Light or blonde locks may not benefit as much; therefore, prior to any procedure it is important to fully shaven to allow proper laser positioning and location of all the unwanted strands.
To achieve optimal results from laser hair removal treatments, it is crucial that you follow all instructions given by your doctor. This includes limiting sun exposure and using a lightening cream prior to sessions; both items may interfere with laser’s ability to target hair follicles effectively.
Laser hair removal can be an excellent way to decrease your need for frequent shaving and waxing sessions, saving both time and money in the process. By devoting less time and energy toward grooming activities, more of your energy can be channeled towards activities that truly matter in life.
How Does It Work?
Hair growth can be embarrassing for many people, but it doesn’t have to be. Laser hair removal in New Jersey offers a quick and painless alternative to shaving, waxing, and plucking for smooth skin that doesn’t need covering up afterwards. Laser therapy also helps eliminate ingrown hairs and razor bumps while even helping reduce acne outbreaks!
At the outset of treatment, a cool gel is applied to the area with unwanted hair before activating a laser. Once activated, it emits a pulse of light that absorbs into pigmented cells in hair follicles to destroy them and limit future growth. Thanks to its precision and comfort levels, this procedure can be completed swiftly yet comfortably.
After several treatments, unwanted hair may start to fall away – possibly never to return again! Some individuals may require follow-up sessions after a few months for touch ups, which tend to be minor and quick. It is essential that sun exposure be limited after receiving laser hair removal treatments as this could trigger hair follicles to start producing unwanted hair again.
Laser hair removal works on most areas of the face and body, including necks, shoulders, backs, underarms, arms legs and bikini lines. Since laser treatment does not work well on white or gray hairs, successful treatment requires having dark-colored locks – so the first step should be scheduling an initial consultation session with one of our knowledgeable providers to assess if you qualify for laser hair removal.
Before starting our treatment, it is recommended to refrain from any other methods of hair removal such as tweezing, waxing and electrolysis. Depilatory products should also be avoided for several weeks prior to your appointment for optimal results. A series of sessions spaced out every month are advised for best results – contact our office now and set up a treatment consultation! During our discussion about your goals for hair reduction we can determine how many sessions will be necessary in order to reach those desired goals.
What Are the Side Effects?
Unwanted hair growth can be embarrassing and disruptive to our daily lives, yet effective solutions for its removal exist beyond traditional techniques such as plucking, shaving, waxing or using chemical depilatories. Laser hair removal offers one such solution that’s safe, effective and long-term: laser is known for targeting unwanted follicles while disabling them permanently – one popular example being laser comb removal which targets and disables unwanted hair follicles directly for long-lasting results.
This procedure doesn’t require downtime, allowing you to quickly return to your day after treatment. While some patients experience redness or sensitivity following treatment, these side effects should go away quickly. In your private consultation we’ll ask about your medical history as well as examine the area you want treated – then recommend the best plan that fits with your goals and needs.
If your skin is particularly sensitive, we may apply a topical anesthetic for greater comfort during your session. Depending on the size and location of the treatment area, sessions could last anywhere between 30 minutes and an hour.
Some patients report experiencing minor discomfort during the procedure; however, most find that it’s no more painful than waxing. If they experience any discomfort they can request a cooling gel pack or ice pack to help ease any pain they feel during their appointment.
When starting laser hair removal, it’s essential that you select a center that utilizes real laser technology rather than IPL (Intense Pulsed Light). Understanding the difference between these machines is crucial as IPL uses broad-spectrum technology while real lasers utilize state-of-the-art, single wavelength technology.
Laser energy used during treatment won’t harm surrounding skin; rather, it will target melanin found within hair follicles to remove it from hair shafts and eventually the area will have significantly fewer or no hairs than before your treatment began.
However, it should be kept in mind that this treatment is only temporary; your hair will most likely start growing back within several months. We suggest scheduling regular treatments at four- to six-week intervals so we can monitor how hair in the treated areas has changed and provide instructions on how to achieve optimal results.
How Much Will It Cost?
Cost of laser hair removal varies depending on the area being treated and number of sessions needed; you will receive detailed pricing information before scheduling an appointment.
Unwanted body hair can be both embarrassing and time-consuming to deal with. Shaving, waxing and plucking can result in razor bumps, ingrown hairs and other skin issues; laser hair removal in New Jersey offers a permanent solution to unwanted body hair that requires no ongoing maintenance.
