Laser Hair Removal

LASER HAIR REMOVAL DESCRIPTION

If you want silky smooth skin and to never shave again, then laser hair removal may be right for you! Laser hair removal can remove unsightly facial hair and body hair non-surgically. Unwanted hair is often a nuisance and can be difficult to properly treat. Repeated shavings and waxings are not only time consuming, but can also be difficult for some areas of the body. Laser hair removal is designed to achieve long-lasting results. The team at Bassin Center For Plastic Surgery utilizes the Candela® GentleMax Pro laser to treat a variety of areas, including the underarms, legs, bikini area, upper and lower back, face, chin, neck, and upper lip.

Candela® GentleMax Pro laser hair removal can treat all skin types and hair colors. State-of-the-art laser technology allows for faster, more efficient treatments than traditional electrolysis procedures. Laser hair removal patients can achieve smoother, clearer-looking skin with minimal downtime. Unlike temporary treatments like shaving or waxing, laser hair removal is designed to achieve long-lasting results by inhibiting the growth of hair follicles over a series of sessions. Instead of simply trimming hair, the Candela® GentleMax Pro laser can treat unwanted hair at its source. Laser hair treatment can also remove hair follicles that contribute to razor bumps and ingrown hairs.

LASER HAIR REMOVAL PROCEDURE

During hair removal treatment, the Candela® GentleMax Pro laser is placed above the target area(s) to deliver a brief pulse of light, which is absorbed by the hair follicle. The heat from the laser travels down the shaft of the hair follicle and disrupts the follicle, preventing further hair growth. The Candela® GentleMax Pro laser is equipped with a cooling device to reduce any discomfort during your laser hair removal procedure. Laser hair removal can precisely target unwanted hair follicles without affecting surrounding tissues. Patients experience virtually no downtime following laser hair removal and can resume their daily activities immediately. A cycle of 5-7 treatments is typically recommended to achieve optimal laser hair removal results.
