Hair Removal in Tampa

Schedule an Appointment

Many people are no longer satisfied with traditional hair removal methods. Shaving, plucking, and waxing may help us get rid of unwanted hair, but they do not provide permanent hair removal. Laser hair removal has become one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in the U.S. because it ensures permanent hair reduction or removal while requiring no downtime.

 

How does laser hair removal work?

 

Laser hair removal treatments use light energy to damage hair follicles beneath the skin and prevent future hair growth. Laser light devices aim a concentrated beam of light at the hair follicle. The pigment in the follicle absorbs the light and gets destroyed in the process.

 

Although the laser treatment damages the hair, it does not cause any injury to the surrounding skin. The laser pulses for less than a second, just enough to vaporize the melanin in the hair follicle and destroy the hair without damaging skin tissues.

Benefits

What are the benefits of laser hair removal?

 

The laser hair removal industry has grown significantly in the last decades. While some of the most popular procedures are facial laser hair removal, bikini laser hair removal, and arm laser hair removal, people use laser beams to remove hair from almost any part of the body including legs, back, and underarms.

 

Laser hair removal technology is a process  that leads to the permanent reduction or removal of hair and prevents the appearance of ingrown hairs. Since laser hair removal is a safe and FDA-approved medical procedure, laser hair removal devices can be used for patients with different types of complexions and hair colors.

 

The laser hair removal procedure is precise and speedy. Laser hair removal specialists direct laser beams directly to dark, coarse hair and can treat many hairs at the same time in just a matter of seconds. Hair removal lasers treat an area the size of a quarter in one second, which means that small areas, such as the upper lip, require less than a minute for complete hair removal. Larger areas like the back or legs may require up to an hour.

What to expect during the procedure

 

The hair removal treatment is undoubtedly more comfortable and less painful than the traditional options used for hair removal care. It can be performed in-office but only by certified and experienced dermatologists. Before the procedure, the patient should limit waxing, plucking, and electrolysis for at least six weeks to keep the hair roots present. It also is recommended to avoid sun exposure to increase the effectiveness of the treatment and reduce the post-procedure risks.

 

During the procedure, the health care professional will have your hair trimmed to a few millimeters above the skin surface and apply numbing creams on the treated area. The laser device will be adjusted according to the patient's hair color, thickness, and location, as well as skin type. Hair removal gel will be used to protect the skin surface and help the beam penetrate the skin. Patients experience minimum discomfort, often compared with mild stings or having a rubber band snapped against the skin.

Simple

Aftercare

 

At the end of your hair removal procedure, your hair removal specialist may give you ice packs or anti-inflammatory creams to reduce post-treatment discomfort. These will help with the feeling of sunburned skin, often experienced by patients who undergo laser hair removal. You will notice hair reduction in the month to come.

 

It is important to wear broad-spectrum SPF30 sunscreen or higher the month after the procedure to prevent skin color changes. Blisters are rarely a side effect of the procedure, but they can happen, especially in patients with darker complexions. Some individuals also report swelling, redness, and scarring. While the laser hair removal process is highly effective, your health care provider may recommend multiple sessions for the best results, depending on your hair color, density, texture, and growth cycle, as well as on the color of your skin.

Laser beams are selectively absorbed by hair follicles. The absorbed light heats the hair without damaging surrounding tissue. Since the follicle must be in active growth in order to be affected by the laser, several treatments spread over several months are required to assure the destruction of all hair follicles.
