Laser Hair Removal Boca Raton Explained

By David Hamilton


Laser hair removal is a process that is convenient and non-invasive that is used for permanently reducing or removing hairs that are unwanted. This leaves the skin with a smoother and silkier appearance compared to use of electrolysis or waxing. The technique is also gentle and treats large sections with precision. There will also be less discomfort and downtime. When considering laser hair removal Boca Raton residents should be conversant with the procedure.

The procedure is used to remove hairs from parts of the body such as the face, legs, forearm and armpits. The best people to be treated are those with darker hairs on lighter skins. However, there are lasers which work well with dark hairs on dark skins. It does not work very well for fine blond hairs, grey hairs or in women with hormonal problems. Also, for people with few, coarse hairs will be better off with electrolysis because of cost effectiveness.

One needs to understand what is involved for the treatment. Lasers will emit light beams which are targeted at melanin found in hairs. Lasers also target follicles which are the growth centers of hairs. Melanin is the material that gives skin and hairs their color. The laser beams pass through skin and will be absorbed by melanin in the follicles. Because of that operation of lasers, ideal candidates for treatment need to have hairs that are darker than skin color.

One will need to go for several sessions for the best outcomes. At any given time, there is a percentage of hairs that will be at their resting phase and not the growth phase. The lasers are never effective on resting hairs. This is the reason a number of treatments will be necessary. More treatments are able to be done as more hairs appear. Because of variation in number of hairs during the resting phase, some body parts respond more rapidly, with others taking longer.

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 the initial 3 to 7 treatments, most people realize that their expectations have been met. In some instances, in addition to the hairs disappearing, they will become finer and lighter in color. Not all hairs are permanently eradicated. There is a small percentage of patients who are resistant to removal using lasers.

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.
