Laser Hair Removal Overview
Keeping unwanted hair in check can be time-consuming, with most hair removal results being temporary at best. Laser hair removal provides a permanent solution to problem hair for almost every area of the body. The ease and effectiveness of laser hair removal have made it the most sought-after cosmetic procedure in the United States.Â
Laser Skin Care Center uses the most advanced laser on the market, so our patients can benefit from precision-targeted, lasting results, with minimal discomfort and no downtime.Â
How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
Shaving, plucking, and waxing, while effective, only remove hair temporarily. Laser hair removal provides a permanent solution for getting rid of unwanted hair.Â
A laser hair removal treatment applies laser light energy to hair follicles. Hairs in the active growth stage absorb the laser energy, causing hair to disintegrate all the way down to the root.Â
Laser Skin Care Center uses the Cynosure Elite MPX, a device that emits two powerful wavelengths that target and remove hair follicle cells without damaging the surrounding skin.
Top Five Reasons Women Choose Laser Hair RemovalÂ
1. Can Be Done on Many Different Areas
Laser hair removal can be used on nearly every area of the body, including:
- Upper lip
- Legs
- Chest
- Back
- Face (except around the eyelids)
- Bikini line
2. Works on All Skin Types
Unlike other hair removal devices, our Cynosure Elite MPX emits targeted laser rays that find the pigment in the hair and destroy it, so it works well for all skin types. This includes darker tones, which can make it hard for some lasers to target the pigment. The Cynosure Elite MPX doesn’t have that problem.Â
3. Quick ProcedureÂ
A laser hair removal session typically takes 60 minutes or less. The total time will depend on the size of the treatment area.Â
4. No DowntimeÂ
At Laser Skin Care Center, we do hair removal procedures right, so there are minimal side effects and no downtime whatsoever. Possible side effects may include mild swelling around the hair follicles, slight skin redness, and temporary, mild discoloration with darker skin tones.Â
5. Lasting Results
You can expect to see smooth, hair-free skin for up to 12 months after a series of laser hair removal treatments. However, most patients opt for yearly maintenance sessions to keep skin looking clean and smooth.Â
