All About Laser Hair Removal: Greater Miami

Copyright. All Rights Reserved.

Laser hair removal involves a light that uses special wavelengths to damage the end of the hair or the hair follicles. The strength of the light is adjusted so that just enough damage is done to prevent or reduce the amount of hair that grows back. The light used in the hair removal procedure targets the high pigmented colors of the hair. If you are planning to for a laser hair removal treatment, do stay out of the sun at least a few days prior to the procedure to avoid sun burn. If you are on any medication at all, it is important to let your physician or licensed hair removal technician know before the treatment begins. There are some medications that can reduce the effects of the procedure. There are health risks associated with combining medications with the hair removal procedure.

 Some individuals may experience a small amount of discomfort, but it is often manageable. The amount of discomfort experienced during the procedure is noted by many of Miami Laser Hair Removal’s patients to be similar to the feeling of someone pricking you. However, if you are having the treatment at sensitive areas such as the armpits and groin/bikini region, slight discomfort is evitable.

The best candidates for laser hair removal at Miami Laser Hair Removal have the following criteria:

• Dark hair and coarse hair are the easiest to treat. These patients typically see the best results.
• People with dark skin including African-Americans ( Miami Laser Hair Removal offers the only laser technology approved by the FDA to safely treat black skin without causing any discoloration to the skin’s pigment).
• Blonde, grey and red hairs are more difficult to treat with a laser since laser needs pigment to destroy the follicle.
• Candidates who suffer from skin disorders such as psoriasis and dermititis are not ideal candidates for laser hair removal.
• Treatments are not ideal for people who have a pacemaker, who are pregnant, or who have metal screws in the area where the procedure would be performed.
• The procedure does not necessarily result in 100 percent reduction of unwanted hair in the first treatment session. Multiple sessions are recommended.

Laser hair removal is performed in a physician’s office or laser hair treatment facility. Treatment time can range form one hour to several hours. Multiple sessions may be necessary. During the procedure, a laser is used to dispense a fine intense beam of heated light that removes the hair follicles, but preserves the skin in the surrounding area. The laser scans a wide area of the body in the removal process. Patient return home immediately following treatment. Normal activities can be resumed immediately; however, exercise, jacuzzi use, and sun tanning are not recommended for at least 24 hours. No waxing or depilatory creams can be used after laser hair removal.

After the procedure, patients are often advised to gently cleansed the treated area with a mild soap.

Most often, discomfort is minimal and dows not require medication. Miami Laser Hair Removal utilizes the CoolGlide laser technology which has a cooling tip and cools the area being treated simultaneously as the area is being treated, thus, the discomfort is eliminated immediately.
