There is a very good reason that laser hair removal has risen in popularity to become one of the most commonly performed cosmetic treatments. It is the safest and most effective technique available to permanently remove unwanted hair. If you are sick of needing to remove unwanted hair over and over, you should consider this convenient treatment.

What Is Laser Hair Removal?

The treatment removes unwanted hair through the process of laser energy transmission into hair follicles. The hair pigment found in the follicles will absorb this energy, and the heat will destroy the hair and root around it to prevent future hair growth.

This technique has been used safely for over two decades. Treatments are fast and easy. The amazing precision of today’s lasers gives us the ability to selectively target individual hair follicles, but surrounding skin does not absorb the laser energy.

How Does the Treatment Work?

Do you ever wonder how laser hair removal works to remove hair? The procedure utilizes light wavelengths to destroy what is known as melanin. This substance is found in hair follicles and gives your hair its color. Lasers are able to destroy hair and not affect surrounding skin tissue because the hair will absorb all of the transmitted energy. Light-colored hair has less melanin for laser targeting, but if your hair is light in color, you may still be able to be treated. This can be determined at your initial consultation.

Am I a Good Candidate for Laser Hair Removal?

A large majority of individuals will qualify for this treatment. It works on both men and women of all skin types and ethnicities. Since lasers are attracted to hair pigment, those with very light-colored hair may not be treatable in some cases. Ultimately, we can determine if you would make a good candidate for the procedure at your consultation.

The most popular places that laser hair removal is used for are the underarms, bikini area, legs, chin, upper lip, back, buttocks, abdomen, neck, thighs, chest, and arms.

How Many Treatments will I Need?

Patients typically require around seven treatments that are spaced out a couple of months apart. Since individual hairs grow in cycles, multiple sessions are needed to catch each and every hair follicle in a growth phase.

If you have decided that you would like to try laser hair removal treatments, you need to make a decision about what system you will use. There are different devices that are available in clinics across the country. We invite you to learn about the benefits that come from using the Icon™ laser. This offers quick and effective hair removal.

What is the Icon™ Laser?

Many beauty and wellness centers use the Icon™ system in order to help individuals who would like to remove or reduce the hair on their body. This system allows an individual to remove unwanted hair from their arms, face, underarms, chest, back, bikini area, and legs. It is a safe treatment method that may allow a person to throw away their razors and waxing kids after a series of quick treatment sessions.

After an individual goes through the recommended amount of treatment sessions with the Icon™ laser hair removal system, they may experience some additional hair growth in the future. If this does happen, the hair that grows in will be a lot less noticeable. It is likely to be lighter and finer. This is a great option for individuals who are tired of spending time, energy, and money on waxing sessions and shaving accessories.

How Does the Process Work?

This treatment uses intense heat in order to damage the hair follicles in areas where a person would like to say goodbye to their hair. When the hair follicles are damaged with the Icon™ laser, future hair growth is inhibited. You do not have to worry about any damage to your skin.

Our goal is to create a custom plan for each one of our clients. When you visit us for your initial consultation, we are going to ask about your goals and examine the area(s) where you would like to have unwanted hair removed. If it is determined that you are a good candidate for the Icon™ laser, you can look forward to getting started with your series of treatments.

There’s no need to take time off after your treatment. You will be able to get right back to normal activities. You may see some results after your first treatment session. However, if you want long-term benefits from laser hair removal, you should return for more sessions. The number of times you come back will be determined by how much hair you want to remove and other factors.

You have been shaving for as long as you can remember. You shave so often because the hair always grows back again. It’s a vicious cycle of stripping hair from your face, legs or other areas and watching it regrow. You just wish there was a way to ditch your razor. With the advent of laser hair removal, it may be possible for you to have smooth and hair-less skin at all times without having to shave at all!

A Closer Look at Laser Hair Removal

The great thing about laser hair removal is that it has the ability to make the skin smoother than ever. Unlike a razor that can leave stubble and rough up the face, often damaging the skin with nicks and cuts, a laser does not utilize a scraping effect across the surface of the skin.

Rather, the laser targets the hair follicle directly, and when photons from the laser are absorbed by the pigment, the hair in the follicle begins to fade. The follicle is impaired, so this should help to prevent future hair growth in part or altogether.

While it is unlikely that a single treatment will keep you away from your razor for good, it is possible that multiple laser hair removal treatments at our office could give you many months or even years of freedom from shaving. It’s important to note, however, that results vary from patient to patient based on a variety of factors.

Enjoying Your Results

After your series of treatment sessions is complete, you can really start to enjoy the benefits of this treatment. Before you know it, your skin could look clean-shaven every day. You may not need to fight with a razor to look professional or to remain smooth for everyday activities or social events. You will simply look like you had a good shave every time.
