All About Laser Hair Removal For MenCopyright. All Rights Reserved.
As a human you might already know that just about your entire body is covered with hair. Some hair is coarse and dark, and some is fine and pale that it isn’t visible to the naked eye. Humans, in fact, have more hair follicles per square inch than most higher primates, including chimpanzees and gorillas.
Shaving or trimming your beard or moustache are regular grooming tasks you’re used to. But what you may not like are the painful ingrowns involved with shaving, or the excess hair on your back and shoulders, around the ears or between the eyebrows that seem to grow back faster that you can pluck or shave it.
If the above rings true for you than this may be the time for you to consider CoolGlide laser hair removal available at Miami Laser Hair Removal. CoolGlide by Cutera is the only laser hair removal technology approved to treat men and women of all skin colors including African-Americans without causing any discoloration to the skin’s pigment.
Understanding hair removal:
In the past conventional remedies for unwanted hair were tweezing, waxing, electrolysis, shaving or depilatories.
For long-term hair removal, electrolysis is popular and effective but can be painful and slow. Hair by hair, an electric current passes through a needle to destroy the hair root’s ability to grow. It typically takes months or even years of regular repeat treatments- even for small areas, like between your eyebrows.
Now there’s a more effective solution, the CoolGlide laser technology, a state-of-the art system specially designed to remove unwanted hair faster, less painfully and more reliably than electrolysis.
Understanding what a laser treatment is:
A laser produces a beam of highly concentrated light. Different types of lasers produce different colors of light. The color of light produced by a particular laser is key to its effect on hair follicles.
The light emitted by the CoolGlide laser technology is absorbed by the pigment located in the hair follicles. The laser pulses for a fraction of a second, just long enough to vaporize the pigment, disabling several follicles at a time to eliminate or significantly impede the hairs re-growth.
Most importantly, CoolGlide laser technology utilizes a special contact cooling hand piece and protects the surrounding skin while bringing the laser energy as close as possible to the hair root.
What can you expect?
The length of a laser session may be a few minutes to an hour or more depending on the size of the area being treated. Because laser tends to work best when treating hair follicles that are in an active growth phase, multiple treatments may be required to disable hair follicles that subsequently enter this growth phase.
The laser treatment itself can cause a slight tingling sensation. Most patients tolerate the procedure well. But, because some areas of the body are more sensitive than others, Miami Laser Hair Removal uses natural ways to numb the treated areas to ease the discomfort associated with the laser treatments. Most patients complain about the upper lip or bikini area as areas of slight discomfort.
The appearance of the treated areas immediately after a laser session will vary from patient to patient depending on the extent of treatment. Immediate after effects are minor. They may include redness or swelling, which disappear in a short time. Most people return to normal activity right away.
Anagen Stage: The hair’s active growth phase. During the anagen stage, the hair contains an abundance of melanin (color). If you recall reading above, the laser beam must detect color (melanin) in order to destroy the hair follicle.
Catagen Stage: The regression phase when the lower part of the hair stops growing but is not shed and the follicle is reabsorbed.
Telogen Stage: The resting phase during which the old hair falls out in preparation for the development of new hair.
It is virtually impossible for mankind to decipher at which stage we’re in on any given day, therefore, after years of experience we at Miami Laser Hair Removal have seen the most favorable results in patient who came in every six weeks for their treatments. It seems that this time frame gets the hair follicles in the Anagen stage.
