If you are tired of waxing or shaving unwanted body hair, laser treatment could be the perfect solution. Treatment sessions will be scheduled at four- to six-week intervals in accordance with hair growth cycles.
Before receiving laser treatments, avoid plucking, waxing and electrolysis as these activities may disturb hair follicles and expose them to direct sunlight or self-tanners that contain harmful UV rays. Furthermore, try not to expose yourself or use self-tanning products containing sunblock or self-tanning agents that contain UVA/UVB filters as these may interfere with proper healing of laser-affected areas.
Face & Neck
Hair growth can be unsightly and difficult to remove using traditional methods such as shaving, waxing and tweezing. Laser hair removal offers an effective yet safe treatment option to eliminate unwanted hair in virtually all parts of the body – be it the chin, neck, ears, arms legs and bikini region.
Laser beams work by vaporizing dark pigment in hair shafts and disabling new growth, in an instantaneous process taking less than one second per pulse and covering multiple hairs in just one pulse; small areas can usually be treated in minutes while larger ones such as legs may take an hour to treat completely.
Most patients who undergo this process typically experience minimal discomfort; however, this varies from one individual to the next. If you’re particularly sensitive, we might apply a topical anesthetic.
Many men and women with thick, unruly neck hair suffer from genetics or hormonal imbalance causing it to appear untidy or even unshaven. While this type of growth might be healthy for some people, it could also cause constant irritation such as razor burn, ingrown hairs or pseudo-folliculitis; laser hair removal provides an effective solution since it permanently reduces neck hair growth.
Laser treatments typically require multiple sessions spaced four to eight weeks apart in order to be effective, and should ideally be completed without sun exposure for at least eight weeks beforehand. Furthermore, it’s wise not to use products like sunless tanners that can irritate the skin before your appointment; your doctor might instruct you to shave beforehand; any slight irritation should subside quickly within hours and you can use ice packs if any swelling or pain occur; darker spots on light skinned people might notice temporary darker spots as they will usually fade over time and shouldn’t cause concern!
Bikini
Bikini areas can be sensitive areas, and shaving can often leave razor burn, ingrown hairs, and other irritations behind. Laser hair removal for bikini areas offers the perfect solution – as well as permanently reducing unwanted hair it also can prevent embarrassing sweating or chafing associated with other methods of hair removal.
Many women find shaving their pubic area difficult, due to the tight crease of their thighs and hipline as well as hair in the fold of their buttocks. Laser hair removal for bikini area can help reduce ingrown hairs, prevent folliculitis (an inflamed and infected condition caused by shaving), as well as help avoid any cuts or nicks from shaving, while helping reduce any pain related to shaving nicks and cuts.
Women often make the decision between traditional bikini line or Brazilian waxing as an individual choice. A regular bikini line focuses on hair removal from your standard panty line extending from the crease of thighs down to waistline; while Brazilian waxing typically leaves behind a triangular strip of hair called the landing strip or Desert Island area.
Bikini and Brazilian waxing treatments have become incredibly popular choices in South Florida during swimsuit season, offering women time-saving solutions without needing to shave or wax the bikini area or reduce embarrassing regrowth. These procedures offer women numerous time savings in the bathroom or at waxing salons alike.
Body Details offers both treatments, though one stands out more: Brazilian removes more pubic hair while bikini can be customized according to individual needs and preferences. Women choosing Brazilian can opt for keeping only the landing strip bare; others may choose leaving their entire genital region uncovered.

Underarms
People typically avoid having hairy underarms because not only does it look unsightly, but sweat and bacteria trapped there can produce foul odors that make the problem even more acute. Laser hair removal offers an effective solution; by targeting pigment in hair follicles lasers can damage them enough that they stop producing unwanted hair growth altogether.
Laser hair removal offers long-term solutions for underarm hair. While traditional methods require repeat treatments to effectively eliminate all unwanted follicles, laser treatments can dramatically decrease hair in this area and eliminate shaving or waxing altogether – permanently!
Note that underarms tend to be more sensitive than other parts of the body, making them ideal candidates for laser hair removal. Although laser treatment won’t be as invasive on them as on other areas, it is still wise to consult your dermatologist before scheduling cosmetic procedures for the first time.
Before going for laser hair removal, ensure to shave or trim the underarm area. Also avoid tanning products for at least a month prior to your session, since their pigments could increase skin sensitivity and lessen effectiveness of laser treatment. Finally, avoid deodorants, as these products could block pores and cause irritation.
Laser hair removal involves your dermatologist using a laser device on specific target areas on your underarms. While this may sound painful, most patients actually find the treatment quite comfortable; many compare the sensation to rubber bands snapping against their skin. After each session, however, your underarm area might feel sunburnt or irritated as melanin in your hair has absorbed some of the laser light energy and caused melanin deposits to absorb energy from it and absorb laser beam.
Laser hair removal can be performed safely at home using self-referral kits; however, for optimal results and to avoid potential complications like discoloration or burns it is highly advised that an experienced cosmetic dermatologist like Dr. Michele Green in New York City be consulted first. Inexperienced clinics or spas may not possess enough training in laser technology use that can cause complications like discoloration or burns which could hinder results and require additional sessions with them for safety and effectiveness.
Legs
Laser hair removal for legs is an ideal way to create silky-smooth legs permanently, without red shave bumps, ingrown hairs or pain from waxing! Laser treatment targets dark pigment in hair follicles to destroy them permanently so it never grows back – for optimal results we suggest 6-12 treatment sessions (depending on skin tone, hair color and growth cycle) in order to achieve maximum effectiveness.
Your legs will thank you for this permanent relief from shaving and waxing – no more time-consuming razor shaving sessions, expensive waxing services, or buying razors that only last so long! Laser hair removal offers an effective and safe solution to get rid of unwanted body hair for good.
You can use this treatment to remove hair from your chest and back as well. It’s an ideal option for anyone who wishes to remove sensitive bikini area hair without making a long-term commitment to a Brazilian wax treatment.
Lasers emit light energy that’s absorbed by your hair’s pigment, turning into thermal energy and damaging tube-shaped sacs in your follicles to inhibit or slow future hair growth, leading to long-term or even permanent results. You should expect some discomfort during treatment; tolerance levels vary. In preparation for your appointment, avoid shaving or waxing within two weeks prior to receiving laser treatment and ensure that any sun exposure has passed before scheduling an appointment.
Though laser hair removal is technically semi-permanent, most clients find they’re able to go years without needing maintenance or touch ups. People with sensitive skin may experience minor redness or sensitivity after treatment but this usually dissipates very quickly. Furthermore, tanning may affect how effectively laser hair removal works on your skin; tanning could compromise how effectively laser works for you! Ultimately, what matters most when considering laser hair removal is having realistic expectations about what results are possible rather than being limited by what a “good” result should look like; don’t allow limited expectations limit your possibilities!
