Why Should You Consider Permanent Hair Reduction Laser Treatment?
There are various reasons why you might think of undergoing laser hair reduction treatment, including:
- Convenience: Instead of waxing or shaving repeatedly, which can sometimes be uncomfortable, our technology can simply reduce hair growth after several treatments and touch-up appointments.
- Comfort & Safety: Compared to other services like threading, shaving, tweezing, and waxing, the Soprano Titanium laser doesn’t burn or harm the skin, making it much more comfortable. The laser beam is only designed to affect the hair follicles, leaving the skin completely safe.
- Minimal Side Effects: Ingrown hair and irritated skin are common symptoms when waxing or shaving. With laser hair reduction, you might experience very mild redness that only lasts a couple of days. Otherwise, you get to enjoy smooth, hair-free skin!
- Long-Lasting Results: Our hair removal treatment offers indefinite or even permanent results, as hair follicles that are eliminated will take many years to grow back.
The Process of Permanent Hair Reduction Laser Treatment
You’ll first undergo an initial consultation with Dr. Azam so that she can evaluate your situation and understand your specific goals. Our team will also answer any questions or concerns that you might have before starting on your treatment. We will provide you with specific instructions on how to prepare for the laser hair reduction process, which should include:
- No plucking or waxing for several weeks
- Shave the hair above the skin the night before your appointment
- Avoid exposure to sunlight (including tanning beds or self-tanners) for two days before treatment
- Don’t use retinoids for multiple days before your appointment to minimize irritation
During your procedure, you’ll sit or lie down depending on the area being treated, and Dr. Azam will apply a cool gel to protect your skin while reducing the chance of redness or discomfort. She will then use the Soprano Titanium laser to focus on the skin, which will be absorbed by the melanin pigment in your hair, converting it to heat, and damaging the hair follicles. After some time, the hairs should begin falling out of the affected hair follicles, and no new hair will grow back.
What to Expect After Permanent Hair Reduction Laser Treatment
Following your procedure, you might experience some mild swelling or redness after getting your hair removed, which is entirely common. The good news is that this should be short-lived, only lasting a couple of days or less. Just be sure to avoid direct sunlight and apply SPF to defend your sensitive skin. You can also use moisturizer to minimize skin irritation. In many cases, a single treatment won’t be enough to get every hair follicle, so you’ll need to schedule follow-up appointments that are spaced several weeks apart until your treatment is complete.
Permanent Hair Reduction FAQs
What Areas of My Body Can Be Treated with Laser Hair Removal?
The Soprano Titanium laser is a versatile instrument that can be adjusted to effectively remove hair on almost any part of the body. For example, it can be used to address large areas of the body like the legs, arms, and back. It is also suitable for use on more delicate skin, including the bikini area and the face.
Just let our Panama City team know what hair you are ready to get rid of, and we will design a permanent hair reduction laser treatment that is tailored to your wishes.
Can I Get Laser Hair Removal if I Have Dark Skin?
In the past, laser hair removal was thought to be ineffective for individuals with dark skin. That was because older laser technology could not distinguish between the pigments in skin and the pigments in hair, which meant that the skin absorbed the laser’s power and resulted in burns and other complications.
Thankfully, things have changed! The Soprano Titanium laser was engineered with the goal of being usable for all skin types, including the richest, darkest colors. It effectively targets hair follicles without damaging skin. It also features an ICEPlus cooling system that creates a comfortable and virtually pain-free experience.
What Does Laser Hair Removal Feel Like?
Some types of laser hair removal technology can cause discomfort. With them, clients tend to experience a tingling or snapping sensation (kind of like a rubber band being snapped against the skin). While that is tolerable for most people, it is still not desirable!
Fortunately, the technology we use in our office is superior to many systems on the market today. Its unique cooling system contributes to a very easy and comfortable hair reduction experience.
How Many Hair Removal Sessions Will I Need to Experience Permanent Results?
The number of sessions required can depend on a few factors, such as your skin color, hair thickness and type, hormones, and the hair growth cycle of the treatment area. Most patients experience lasting results after 6 – 8 sessions or so.
After each session, you are likely to find that your hair regrows more slowly and is finer than it was previously.
Once you finish your initial course of hair removal sessions, you may need to come back for periodic touch-ups due to regrowth and hormonal fluctuations.
How Much Does Laser Hair Removal cost?
The cost of laser hair reduction depends on a few factors, such as the area being treated (larger areas of the body take longer to treat, so they lead to higher fees) and other important considerations. We can provide a cost estimate when you visit our med spa for a consultation. If you wish to pay for your care in installments, you can apply for convenient financing through CareCredit.
Although laser hair reduction might seem pricey on the surface, keep in mind that it might actually help you save money in the long run. After all, it can greatly reduce the expenses associated with buying razors or hair removal creams, and it is certainly more affordable long-term than getting professionally waxed every few weeks!
