Laser Hair Removal is
one of the newest and most effective treatments available for
permanent hair reduction. BeamPro MediSpa specializes in
expert approaches to permanent hair reduction.
Laser Hair Removal has quickly become one of the
most popular cosmetic treatments available! Men and women both turn
to laser hair removal treatments to remove unwanted hair growth from
almost any pert of the body!
Opposed to traditional methods of temporary hair
removal (such as shaving, waxing, tweezing), Laser Hair Removal
destroys the hair follicle during its active growth cycle. Our Light
Sheer diode Laser gets to the root of the hair and destroys its
causing the hair to fall out and stop growing. Multiple treatments
several weeks apart are typically required to achieve best results.
Appropriate for men and women both, Laser Hair
Removal removes unwanted hair with less discomfort along with a high
degree of safety and reliability.
A BeamPro MediSpa, our all Laser Hair Removal
services are performed by a licensed registered nurse under the
supervision of our anti-aging and aesthetic medicine doctor.
Am I a candidate for laser hair removal?
Laser hair removal is not for everyone. The absolute requirement is
that one's hair must be darker than the surrounding skin.
Additionally very darkly pigmented people absorb too much laser
energy in their skin and are not ideal candidates. Tanned patients
with light hair are not candidates. Tanned patients with dark hair
should wait until their tan fades before they are treated.
How does Laser compare with other hair
removal methods?
Shaving, waxing, and depilatory creams
are all temporary methods which must be repeated on a frequent
basis. Hair removal with Laser offers longer lasting results.
How do Laser treatments compare with
electrolysis?
Electrolysis is a tedious, invasive and
painful process that involves inserting a needle into each hair
follicle and delivering an electrical charge to destroy them one at
a time. Electrolysis often requires years of treatments at regular
intervals. Laser delivers non-invasive light energy to hundreds of
hair follicles at one time. In just a few minutes, Laser can
effectively treat an area that would take over an hour with
electrolysis.
What is Laser treatments like?
The Laser's handpiece, cools and soothes your skin as it glides
along. When the pulse of light is delivered, some patients
experience a mild stinging or pinching sensation. No local
anesthesia or pain medication is typically required. Some patients
prefer a topical anesthetic when sensitive areas are treated.
What about side effects?
Slight
reddening and local swelling of the skin, similar to a sunburn, may
occur in some patients. These effects typically last 24 hours or
less. In rare instances, blistering may occur. Consult with your
medical professional for complete information on the benefits and
risks of treatment.
Does skin color make a difference?
With Laser's unique design we have the flexibility to treat all skin
types. Before Laser, tanned patients were denied treatment due to
increased risk of undesireable side effects. Laser Excel's longer
wavelength allows it to treat all skin tones, not just patients with
light skin and dark hair. You can now be treated all year long, and
don't have to wait for your tan to fade. While patients with fair
skin still respond the best, medical studies have indicated that
tanned patients can achieve hair reduction equal to that of
non-tanned patients without undesireable side effects with the
Laser.
How many treatments are required?
The numbers of treatments you may require for optimal long-term
benefits depend on the area you wish to have treated, the hair
density and your hair's growth cycle. Your hair grows in cycles and
many factors influence its growth. Age, ethnicity, weight, hormones,
diet, medication and metabolism all play a part in your hair's
location, thickness and resilience.
Are there any restrictions on my activity
after treatment?
After your treatment, the area is
cleansed and you can return to your normal activities immediately.
Your physician may recommend that you use a specially formulated
skin care product line or prescribe a skin care regimen especially
formulated for your skin type. The use of sun screen is recommended
on any treated areas exposed to the sun. As always, it is a good
idea to limit your sun exposure.
