Benefits of Laser Hair Removal
Long-Lasting Results
Reduced Ingrown Hairs
By destroying the hair follicle, laser hair removal significantly reduces the occurrence of ingrown hairs, a common issue with shaving and waxing.
Cost-Effective Over Time
While the upfront cost may be higher, laser hair removal can be more economical in the long run by eliminating the need for regular purchases of razors, waxing sessions, or hair removal creams.
If you’re seeking a long-term solution to unwanted hair with minimal maintenance, laser hair removal may be suitable. Schedule a consult with our licensed physicians to determine if this treatment aligns with your skin type, hair color and personal goals.
- Q: How does Laser Hair Removal work?
A: Laser hair removal works by targeting the pigment (melanin) in your hair follicles with concentrated beams of light. First, the laser emits a specific wavelength of light that is absorbed by the melanin in the hair shaft and follicle. Then, the absorbed light is converted into heat, which damages the hair follicle at its root. This thermal damage slows down or permanently inhibits the follicle’s ability to grow new hair.
- Q: How many treatments are required to be effective?
A: Hair grows in cycles (anagen, catagen, and telogen phases). Laser hair removal is most effective during the anagen (growth) phase, so multiple treatments are required to catch all hairs at the reight stage. Results expected after X sessions.
- Q: Are there any side effects?
A: Some individuals may experience temporary side effects, such as redness, swelling or discomfort in the treated area. These effects typically subside within a few hours to a couple days.
