Laser hair removal is a popular treatment that seems to only be getting more popular with time. When a person hears about all of the benefits that this treatment offers, including long-term hair reduction, they are enticed by it. When they hear how safe the treatment is, how quickly it can be performed, and how nice the end results can be, many opt to throw their razors, waxing kits, or hair removal creams in the trash and prefer to have this treatment to keep their skin soft and smooth.

What are the Benefits of Laser Hair Removal?

One of the biggest benefits of this treatment is that it is safe. You can have this treatment performed and not worry about serious long-term side effects. Some people might be a little apprehensive to have this treatment because of stories they have heard about using lasers to remove hair in the past. However, like many other aspects of medical technology, the lasers and techniques used in this treatment have advanced drastically over the past few years. The inconvenience, discomfort, and negative reactions that people had decades ago are gone or minimized. This is a safe and effective treatment that can help you enjoy long-term hair reduction and maybe even permanent hair reduction.

A second benefit of laser hair removal treatment is that it is cost-effective. Sure, the initial cost of having the treatment done is still a factor. However, when you look at the price of this treatment and compare it to the price that you have to pay if you are going to use waxes, razors, depilatory creams, or other forms of manual hair removal over the years, you see that over the long run, this is actually cheaper.

A third benefit is that ingrown hairs and rashes become things of the past. For a lot of people, ingrown hairs become infected. Once an ingrown hair becomes infected, it becomes so bad that the individual would have been better off if they simply had opted to let their hair grow. In addition to being unattractive, ingrown hairs are painful. Trying to remove ingrown hairs is very time-consuming and tedious.

A fourth benefit of this treatment is that you can shave in the days leading up to treatment and still get amazing results. A lot of people have a misconception about how this treatment works. They think that a laser is burning the hair off of their skin. This is not how it works at all.

Yet another benefit of this treatment is precision. Anyone who has used a razor or waxing to get rid of hair knows that these are not precise forms of treatment. All it takes is the slip of a hand for a person to have a lopsided mustache or to remove more hair than they want. When laser energy is used to remove unwanted hair, it pinpoints individual hair follicles. The precision of the treatment means additional benefits for you.

Another benefit of laser hair removal treatment is that it is fast. The length of time you will need for each treatment is going to vary depending on the amount of hair you want to remove and other factors. However, in general, it is designed to be fast.

An additional benefit of this treatment is that it is effective. You could experience permanent hair reduction in the areas that are being treated. When you look at these benefits, it’s clear to see why laser hair removal has become so popular. Once the treatments are done, a person is able to have more time to focus on the things they want to do.

How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?

During this treatment, the hair follicle is destroyed, but the skin stays completely untouched. When the hair follicle is destroyed, it doesn’t produce hairs. When there is no hair, there are no ingrown hairs.

During the laser hair removal treatment, which is performed in the comfort of our office, a concentrated beam of light is aimed at the hair follicles. The pigmentation of the hair absorbs the energy of the laser, and this creates heat. The heat damages the hair follicle to the point where there is no future regrowth for many months or years. There are a number of factors that come into play in determining how long a person can go without their hair regrowing. In some instances, the treatment can be permanent. It all depends on the unique case.

It is important to remember that your hair grows in cycles. This is why you are not going to be able to have just one treatment and walk away with the results you desire. Only the hairs that are actively growing when you have your treatment done are going to be affected by the laser. You are going to have to come back again to get a follow-up treatment when your other groups of hair are in their growth cycle.

There are a number of factors that will determine whether or not you are a good candidate for this treatment. The ideal candidate is going to be someone who has some contrast between their skin and hair tones. That being said, there are a variety of lasers and techniques that work on individuals in various situations. The best way to determine your candidacy for the treatment is to come in for a consultation.

This treatment can be used if you have a large area to treat, like your legs or your back. It can also be used on smaller areas, like your upper lip, your chin, or your bikini area. The treatment works best on those who are able to undergo all of the treatment sessions.

It is your firm belief that women were never intended to have mustaches and starter beards. Yet, your once-flawless skin is being invaded by hair that grows in that you must meticulously remove with your razor. Then there is the whole matter of your legs and bikini line. It is like the hair never stops growing, and in reality, it does not stop. So, you are constantly having to use your razor to touch up those areas as well. If only you could be liberated from all this hair removal maintenance and still achieve the reward of smooth, silky skin. Fortunately, you can have your cake and eat it too. With advancements in laser hair removal, you may be able to enjoy smooth skin without having to constantly remove all of that unwanted hair.

Why Laser Hair Removal?

There are a number of excellent reasons to try out laser hair removal. The primary reason is that you are fed up with having to shave, wax and tweeze all the time and would simply like smooth skin without all the hassle. Other reasons include that it now works for just about anyone. That is right; if laser hair removal did not work for you in the past, then you should know that there have been advancements in how lasers work that correct many of these problems. Lasers can be calibrated to specific skin tones for optimal results. Another wonderful reason is that in a series of short laser hair removal treatments, you will start to notice that your hair grows in less frequently and thinner. This translates to you being given more of a break when it comes to shaving. It is important to note, however, that results vary from patient to patient based on a number of factors.

How Does It Work?

Laser hair removal is a process that works by targeting hair follicles with laser energy to impair the follicles’ ability to regrow hair. This is actually a very effective method for preventing unwanted hair growth and keeping your skin smooth. A laser can be used to shut down many hair follicles at once. Just imagine hitting the beach with a bikini line that is free of those little razor bumps.

You have likely heard about laser hair removal. However, you may be curious about what areas of the body can be treated using this procedure. The great news is that this procedure can be used on almost every part of the body.

This means that you can get rid of unwanted hair on your legs, your bikini line, the abdomen area, your back, your arms, your upper lip and your chin. We invite you to contact us in order to schedule a consultation if you are interested in having a particular part of your body treated that is not commonly treated using laser hair removal. We will be able to give you specific details about what kind of results you can expect and which areas of the body we can treat.

Preparing for your laser hair removal treatment is very simple. You can shave unwanted hair from your body. However, you cannot pluck or wax the hair. You must also avoid electrolysis. We want the hair follicles to be left intact in order to be treated by the laser. The idea is not simply to get rid of hair that is on the surface of the skin. The idea is to treat the hair follicle under the skin. Once it is treated with the laser, it is killed. This means that it cannot grow back again.

The amount of time that you are in our office is going to depend on which areas of the body need to be treated using laser hair removal. No matter which part of your body is being treated, the actual treatment process is likely to be relatively quick. This is a convenient treatment that is done in the comfort of our office.

You will likely need to return to our office in order to receive multiple treatments. The reason why we cannot promise that you will only need one laser hair removal treatment is because the hair on the body goes through growth cycles. This means that even if we treat hair follicles today, other hair follicles are going to produce hair in the future. So, the treatments need to be spaced apart in order to have the best hair reduction possible.

The best way for you to find out more about laser hair removal is to set up a time to visit A Younger You in Burlington or Brookfield. We will be happy to sit down with you and tell you what kind of results you can expect. If you are interested in treating hair on your legs, back, arms, armpits or almost any other area, we can likely help you. Our goal is to have you walk away with smooth, hair-free skin. Contact us today to schedule a consultation for laser hair removal.

There are a lot of reasons why people opt for laser hair removal. Most are tired of having to shave, pluck and wax their hair. Then after shaving, plucking and waxing, they are left with negative skin reactions that may include things like acne breakouts, ingrown hairs and a whole host of other unpleasant reactions.

Thanks to laser hair removal treatments, our team of professionals can use lasers to remove unwanted hair on the face or body in a safe and semi-permanent way. This means that once the treatment is done, you are not going to be battling with a razor every day trying to get a clean shave. Instead, you are going to have smooth skin that you will want to show off to the world.

It is important to mention that removing unwanted hair is not something that happens during the first office visit. Most people will need a series of treatment sessions for good results. However, after their treatments are over, they can enjoy their results for a long time.

A few months after your treatment sessions are complete, some patients will notice that some of the unwanted hair has grown back. However, compared to the amount of hair they had growing at the outset, patients will notice a stark reduction. This hair is usually finer, and has a lighter coloration than the hair that was growing in prior to the treatments.

Laser hair removal can be repeated more than once, and after multiple treatments, you will notice a longer time span between when you have the treatment and when the hair regrows. You will also notice a drastic reduction in the thickness and quantity of hairs that regrow.

Laser hair removal is a procedure that is so safe that it can be used on almost any part of the body. Patients use it on their face, bikini area, shoulders and back. Most patients have little to no negative side effects from the treatment.

Some people are better candidates for laser hair removal than others. It is best to talk to our team at A Younger You and have them examine your hair and your skin to help you make the right determination.
