If you’re fed up with shaving, tweezing and waxing your hair regularly, laser hair removal could be the perfect solution. Laser light uses pulses that penetrate deep into the pigments in your hair to displace them with pulses that penetrate pulses of light that destroy it – meaning when your new growth comes back it will be thinner and lighter in texture than before.
Laser hair removal treatments may cause temporary redness and slight swelling; however, these side effects will subside quickly. Furthermore, all Fitzpatrick skin tone levels can undergo laser hair removal safely.
Benefits
Laser hair removal is a quick, safe, and efficient method to permanently rid yourself of unwanted body hair. Benefits of this procedure include reduced fine hair appearance, lessened need for shaving or waxing and decreased frequency of growth. In addition, lasers offer an alternative to other methods like plucking and electrolysis for hair removal.
Hair removal utilizes a laser beam to target unwanted pigmented follicles and destroy them. Light from the laser passes through skin and absorbs by hair follicles, which in turn generates heat that disables them over time and eventually kills them off completely. Treatment can be administered on all parts of the body with most clients reaching their desired results after 8-12 sessions.
Many individuals worry about the discomfort and pain they’ll feel from laser hair removal procedures, but modern lasers come equipped with cooling tips to mitigate irritation. Furthermore, a topical anesthetic can be applied directly to the area for added comfort during this procedure which generally proves less painful than other forms of hair removal methods. Most find it tolerable overall.
Though most Fitzpatrick skin tones can benefit from laser hair removal, it’s important to understand that hair color and contrast between its hue and your skin tone play an integral part in how successful the treatment will be. Darker locks will require more work. During your consultation session with a technician they’ll determine if you qualify as a good candidate and determine how many treatments will be necessary in order to get results you desire.
Preparing for this procedure includes avoiding sun exposure, spray tanning, and using sunless skin creams designed to darken your skin for two weeks prior to treatment. In addition, shaving, plucking and waxing must also be avoided three or four days before your session takes place; additionally, an SPF 30 broad spectrum sunscreen must be worn daily.
Cost
Laser hair removal is an affordable, efficient, and fast way to reduce unwanted body hair. The process employs high-powered pulses of light that target pigments within hair follicles to permanently damage them so future hair growth will no longer occur. Furthermore, treatment does not involve surgery and there’s no downtime following sessions; mild swelling, redness and irritation around treated areas will subside quickly afterwards; in rare instances hyperpigmentation might develop, although usually lasting less than several days.
Laser treatments offer many advantages over electrolysis when it comes to hair removal: they target multiple hairs simultaneously without damaging surrounding tissue, and treatments can often take less than an hour – perfect for busy people without much spare time for maintenance!
Though laser hair removal technology is relatively new, its benefits have been widely studied over time. A laser uses light energy to heat melanin in your hair follicle and render it incapable of supporting future growth, while also being capable of treating more difficult-to-reach spots on the body like backs and chests.
Laser hair removal costs are often out-of-pocket expenses, but you can lower them by following some basic preparation tips before your appointment. For instance, avoid sun exposure before and after treatment (this includes spray tans, self-tanners and natural tanning); additionally it’s wise to refrain from shaving, plucking or waxing in areas you wish to be treated.
Ingrown hairs are an increasingly prevalent issue for women who shave, wax or use other hair removal methods on the face and bikini area. Shaving, waxing or plucking alone may not provide adequate results – ingrown hairs often lead to painful bumps, rashes or cysts in this sensitive area, so laser treatment offers an ideal permanent solution.
Preparation
Laser hair removal is a relatively straightforward process. Light pulses target melanin pigment in your hair without having a detrimental impact on similar pigment in your skin; this is done using laser technology that matches wavelength and pulse duration with both your hair color and skin type. Manhattan Aesthetics utilizes three forms of laser technology – Diode, Nd:YAG and Alexandrite lasers – that provide safe yet effective treatments.
Before your procedure, it’s essential that the area you wish to have treated is properly prepped. Lotions and makeup could obstruct the treatment process, while sun exposure could cause darkening of skin pigmentation or hyperpigmentation – an unnecessary risk during or post treatment.
Contrary to shaving, waxing or plucking, laser treatments destroy hair follicles entirely. Although active follicles will continue to produce hair after treatment has taken place, the new growth is significantly finer and lighter in texture than previously. Multiple sessions at four-six week intervals will likely be necessary before you see permanent results; after eight to ten treatments you should experience near permanent results.
Ingrown hairs are an unfortunate side effect of shaving, waxing or plucking that often become infected and lead to serious conditions. While regular shaving may help avoid them temporarily, laser hair removal offers the most permanent solution to permanently get rid of ingrown hairs.
Laser hair removal offers long-term results and can be completed quickly and painlessly in minutes, unlike shaving, waxing or plucking which may take hours and leave skin feeling dry and flaky afterwards. Compared to these traditional methods of hair removal which often leave skin feeling flaky after treatment – laser hair removal provides quick relief without inducing pain!
