Laser Hair Removal Boca Raton

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.

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.

The cost of the procedure is an important consideration. One single treatment of the lips or chin might cost anything in the range of 200 to 400 dollars. The exact cost depends on how much hair there is. It should also be remembered that several treatments are required, which further drives the cost up. Larger areas also cost more 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.

Choosing the right professional will be key. There are many specialists to choose from. The internet and recommendations are good ways to start.
