Questions You Should Ask During Your Laser Hair Removal Consultation

Many of us have unwanted or unsightly hair growth in areas such as the neck, arms, breasts, back and other areas. This often leaves people self-conscious about going to the beach and wearing shorts, or a bathing suit. So many of us spend time removing unwanted hair via methods such as shaving, tweezing or waxing which only yield temporary results. However, laser hair removal is an effective and permanent reduction solution to this often bothersome problem.

Benefits of Laser Hair Removal:
 

Lasers target hair follicles and eliminate or significantly impede hair from growing back. This is a quick, virtually painless procedure, and the patients are able to return to their normal activities soon after treatment. With the increasing popularity of laser hair removal, it is important that the prospective patient research and understand different issues like what the procedure can and cannot treat, inherent risks, costs, and other factors.

Is Laser Hair Removal ideal for men?

Absolutely. In fact, 40% of our client are men. Miami Laser Hair Removal treats men, women and teens ( with parental supervision).

 

Who would best Represent an Ideal Candidate for Laser Hair Removal?

 

Any person looking to remove unwanted body hair would represent an ideal candidate for laser hair removal. There are many reasons why a person wants to undergo this procedure. Even though reasons vary from person to person, the more common include:
Enhancing appearance and boosting self-confidence
Becoming less self-conscious about their appearance
Achieving smoother looking skin
Saving time and money on temporary hair removal practices (i.e. shaving, cutting, waxing)

 

How is Laser Hair Removal Performed?

 

The length of the procedure varies from a few minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the area. A laser produces a beam of highly concentrated light. During the laser hair removal procedure, the light emitted by the laser passes through the skin and gets absorbed by the pigment located in the hair follicles. The laser pulses long enough to vaporize the pigment, disabling several follicles at a time. This results in eliminating or significantly hindering any hair growth in the treated area. For most patients, multiple sessions are usually needed to optimize results. Patients need to wait about a year to see the full effect of the laser hair removal. This is due to the fact that hair grows in 3 different cycles and therefore treatments have to be spaced out about 4-6 weeks apart.

 

How Much Pain is Associated with Laser Hair Removal?

 

Patients report the pain level associated with laser hair removal is usually about like a rubber band snapping on the skin. For those who are sensitive to pain, topical anesthetics will make the procedure more comfortable. The wonderful benefit of having your treatments performed at Miami Laser Hair Removal is that we utilize the CoolGlide technology which uses a cooling handpiece which glides on your skin and cools off the treated area.

 

Are African-Americans or dark skinned individuals good candidates for laser treatments:

 

THAT DEPENDS!!! The only laser technology approved by the FDA and proven to effectively and safely treat dark pigmented skin is the CoolGlide technology. Miami Laser Hair Removal is proud to be South Florida’s pioneer in treating dark or African-American skin.

 

What Are The Long Term Affects of Laser Hair Removal?

The effects of laser hair removal can be permanent, but there is no guarantee. The result of the treatment does not necessarily mean the area will be completely devoid of hair. While permanent hair removal can occur, the procedure may simply result in reducing the amount of hair in the treated area, or it can lighten the color of the hair and decrease its thickness. Results vary from patient to patient.

 

What Are the Risks and Limitations of Laser Hair Removal?

While laser hair removal is a minimally invasive procedure, the procedure is not totally free from risks. Patients may experience some short-term side effects, which are usually minor. These conditions may include slight reddening of the skin or local swelling that goes away within a few days. While laser hair removal offers many benefits, it may not be for everyone. The procedure may not work on certain hair colors. The procedure doesn’t seem to work very well on light-haired people, whose hair contains little melanin.

 

Activity limitations, are not a factor with laser hair removal. Patients can go back to work and return to normal activities soon after treatment. Limited sun exposure is recommended for a few days because the treated area will likely be sensitive.

 

The Five Top Questions Potential Laser Hair Removal Patients Should Ask:

 

To better educate the patient about laser hair removal, as well as assisting in formulating realistic expectations, it is recommended that the patients should get answers to the following questions:

 

1. Are the desired results I described realistic?
2. Are lasers my best option for hair removal?
3. Where is the laser hair removal performed and how long will it take?
4. What type of laser do you use for your procedure?
5. How much does laser hair removal cost ?

 

One final note, keep in mind that CoolGlide utilized at Miami Laser Hair Removal is the only laser technology approved by the FDA to treat men and women of all skin colors without causing any discoloration to the skin.

CoolGlide is the only FDA approved laser for black skin that can treat any part of your body. Be it your face, upper lip, side burns, chin, neck, forehead, ears, chest, areolas, under arms, arms, hands, toes, fingers, buttocks, legs, bikini, and back.

These treatments yield permanent hair reduction, but they are not a one time treatment. Treatments need to be repeated every 4-6 weeks. The reason for this is that human hairs grow in circles and stages. In order for laser to destroy the hair follicles the hair has to be in the growing stage.

The growing stage happens only once every 3 months for about 2 weeks. The rest of the time the hairs go through different cycles of hair growth and cannot be destroyed, only weakened. Therefore, you need to do a series of treatments to destroy the hairs permanently. After each treatment you will see a substantial reduction of regrowth. Ingrown hairs are also going to disappear. Your facial hairs, bumps, curled up ingrown hairs, purple discoloration and painful razor bumps will be totally eliminated. A clearer and more even skin toned face will emerge as soon as you start you laser hair removal treatments.

Our vast experience in the treatment of black skin will provide you with the most suitable skin care treatments and products for your skin.

Our facials are customized to the need of each individual. For instance, if you have enlarged pores around your nose and cheeks, or very oily bumpy skin, we can treat and eliminate it with our customized abrasions and ultrasonic treatments.

Please remember that black skin is very different then white skin and what is suitable for white skin is not suitable for dark skin. One has to be very careful not to use harsh products and or treatments on dark and black skin as they can create more discoloration. It is also very important to understand that black skin contrary to popular belief needs to be protected from the UVA’s harmful sun rays. It is a misconception to believe that just because your skin is dark you do not need to protect it from the ultra violet rays. Sun block or zinc should be a part of your daily routine. Did you know that there is a steady rise in skin cancer in the black population?

Miami Laser Hair Removal and Bay Harbour Med Spa can safely help you achieve hair free, bump free and acne free skin.

On a final note, PLEASE REMEMBER TO USE SUNSCREEN!
