Laser Hair Removal

Shaving isn’t very effective and doesn’t last for more than a day or two. Waxing and plucking are painful and time-consuming. If you’re fed up with these procedures and ready to try something more permanent, laser hair removal may be just what you’re looking for.

There are a few things you can do to be better prepared for a laser hair removal session. First, limit plucking and waxing for at least six weeks before your treatment. The laser targets the hair’s roots, and these procedures remove these roots, thereby limiting the effectiveness of laser treatment. You should also try to limit your exposure to the sun for six weeks before your treatment. Sun exposure makes the treatment less effective and, more importantly, increases the chances of post-treatment complications.

Treatment

Most patients require six to eight treatments before hair is permanently gone. At Excel Cosmetic Surgery Center, we use the latest in laser hair removal technology — the Syneron eMax System. This laser uses traditional optical energy to treat the hair follicle, as well as radio frequency (RF) energy deeper in the skin to further treat the area. This provides a more complete treatment of the follicle, and often, fewer treatments to achieve the desired results.

After the treatment, the treated area will look and feel like it’s sunburned. This will only last for a day or two. Cool compresses and moisturizers can help alleviate the discomfort. During the course of the next month. The hair in the treated areas will fall out. It helps, during this period, to wear sunscreen to prevent temporary changes in the color of the skin.
