Laser Hair Removal Boca Raton

By David Hamilton


Laser hair removal is a non-invasive and convenient method used to permanently reduce and remove unwanted hairs. This will leave the skin looking much smoother and silkier as to compared to when waxing or electrolysis is used. It is also a gentle method that treats large areas with effectiveness. This happens with less discomfort and no downtime. In considering laser hair removal Boca Raton residents need to be versed with the procedure.

The treatment is used for removing hairs from body parts like the legs, face, armpits and forearm. For the best outcomes, one should have darker hairs and lighter skin. There however are lasers that will work well on dark hairs and dark skins. Use of lasers never works effectively for grey hairs, fine blond hairs or in women suffering from hormonal problems. In addition, if you have a few coarse hairs, the most cost effective option would be electrolysis.

It is of utmost importance to understand how the process works. The lasers emit specific light beams at a wavelength targeted at the melanin in the hairs. The lasers are also targeted at follicle growth centers. Melanin is the material which gives color to skin and hairs. The beams of lasers pass through skin and gets absorbed by melanin within follicles. This is why the ideal candidate should have darker hairs than their skin color.

For the best results, a number of sessions are required. At any time, there are some hairs which ate at the resting phase and thus are not growing. Lasers will not be very effective on such hairs that are dormant. Therefore, many treatments will be needed. As soon as more hairs begin t grow, one would need to go for additional treatments. Given the variation in number of hairs in the dormant phase, there are parts of the body that will respond faster than others.

Costs to be incurred will be an important factor to consider. A single session of treatment of the chin or lips can cost between 200 and 400 dollars. The exact amount is dependent on the number of hairs present. Because a number of sessions are required, the cost will be considerably high. If the treatment area is larger, it will be more costly to treat.

As to whether the procedure is painful is something that most people seek to know. There will be a little discomfort when treatment is being done but it is something most patients are able to tolerate. To ease that discomfort, there is use of topical numbing creams as treatment proceeds. As a precaution, the cream is not to be applied to areas bigger than size of the hands. Some treatment centers have cooling machines to ease discomfort.

After 3 to 7 treatment sessions, the majority of people get the desired results. In some cases, the hairs will not only reduce considerably but they will also become lighter and finer. Not all the hairs can be permanently removed using this procedure. Some patients never receive any positive outcomes from laser treatments, but this is a small number.

The choice of the person who will be performing the procedure is very crucial. There are many specialists you can choose from. The use of recommendations and internet sources is a good starting point.
