Laser Hair Removal is the most well-known and common laser treatment. It reduces and removes light brown to black pigmented hair. Laser Hair Removal also helps reduce ingrown hairs and razor bumps caused by waxing and shaving.
Laser Hair Removal permanently reduces and removes hair from the follicle.
It is important to know that Laser Hair Removal only works for patients with light brown to jet black hair. White to blonde and even red hair cannot be treated due to the lack of pigment in the hair follicles.
Laser Hair Removal utilizes heat from specific wavelengths to destroy the hair follicles directly. The laser has two different wavelengths for hair removal - a 755nm and a 1064nm. The 1064nm can be used for all skin tones/types but is especially beneficial for patients of darker skin tones, Fitzpatrick IV-VI, because it targets the hair follicle more directly than the dark pigment of their skin. The 755nm can be used on patients of a Fitzpatrick 1-6. Patients should be sure not to pluck or wax the hair at least four weeks prior to treatment because the laser is targeted towards the follicle, if there is no follicle then the laser won’t have anything to destroy which will result in unsatisfactory results. Patients are also asked to closely shave the treatment areas prior to their appointment because the laser is designed to destroy the follicle, if there is too much outer growth the laser will use its energy to burn the grown hair rather than destroying the follicle.
Once the technician has chosen the specific settings to treat a patient's hair they will begin the treatment. During the treatment a machine will be cooling the skin at the same time as the technician is treating the area to make the treatment more comfortable. Patients should feel minimal to no discomfort during a treatment. Following your appointment, it is advised not to shave at least a day or so after treatment due to the pores being open from the treatment. We will see a patient back every 4-8 weeks for their next treatment depending on the area. It is important to be on a strict schedule so that the hairs in each cycle of growth can be lasered. Every person getting treated for hair removal will need 6-8 sessions for satisfactory results.
