Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal is one form of skin laser treatment that uses laser energy to produce long-term hair reduction. This is accomplished by producing heat in the hair, which is transferred to the hair follicle, which in-turn produces inflammation, and this inflammation sends a signal to the hair follicle to go into the resting (telogen) phase. Lasers produce pulses of high-energy light that is taken up by the desired target. In the case of hair removal, the target is the melanin pigment contained within the hair shaft.
A series of three to five treatments are done in about four to eight week intervals depending upon the location of the hair. Following the initial series of treatments, subsequent treatments are administered, usually at longer and longer intervals. Some number of maintenance of treatments may be needed to keep all the hair away in a given area. After a single treatment, the hair in a given area is usually reduced in amount and thickness for a very long period of time. However, it may not be completely gone. To keep an area completely devoid of hair, maintenance treatments are always required. These maintenance treatments may eventually be required at only yearly intervals or even longer. This depends on the area being treated as well as the individual. As with any other traits in an individual, the frequency of maintenance treatments varies considerably from person to person.
So, Does This Really Work?
It’s easy to be skeptical about something unless you’ve tried it for yourself. Just like everything else out there, it may work well for you. Our medical technicians will assess your needs and recommend the best plan of action for your treatment. Most people only need a few sessions to get the best results.
What Are Sessions?
Sessions refers to the number of treatments you would need to see optimal results. Some people only need between 3 to 5 sessions while others, like men, would require 6 to 9 or more sessions. We offer competitive package deals and we can tailor them to your needs. Only after a consultation with a physician or a laser nurse we know how many sessions may work for each individual and still people may react differently to cosmetic laser treatment.
