Having to constantly wax, shave and pluck unwanted hair can be tiresome and irritating. Luckily, the Heights Aesthetic Laser Center team offers laser hair removal in Brooklyn, leaving you with smooth, radiant skin. Before settling on the procedure, here is what you need to know.
What is laser hair removal?
Laser hair removal refers to a cutting-edge cosmetic procedure that uses laser light to destroy your hair follicles. This destruction prevents the growth of hair for an extended period. Although laser hair removal delays future hair growth, the results aren’t permanent. For long-lasting results, you may need several hair removal procedures and a series of maintenance treatments. Your Heights Aesthetic Laser Center aestheticians use Clarity by Lutronic Aesthetic to help your skin become smooth and radiant. The state-of-art laser tool is equipped with several settings that the team adjusts to accommodate people of all skin types.
Why should you consider undergoing a laser hair removal procedure?
Laser hair removal involves the use of a concentrated beam of light to remove unwanted hair. Clarity produces laser energy that targets your hair roots without causing damage to the surrounding area. The concentrated beam of light heats your hair follicle and destroys it, preventing it from producing new hair. This technology can be used to remove unwanted hair from any part of your body. Some of the areas that laser hair removal can address include:
- Underarms
- Back
- Chest
- Face
- Bikini area
- Arms
- Legs
Skin type and hair color determine the success rate of your hair removal procedure. Laser hair removal works on the principle that your hair pigment should absorb the laser energy and not your skin pigment. People who have dark hair and a light complexion receive the best results due to the contrast between the two. The lower the contrast between your hair and skin color, the higher the risk of damaging the surrounding skin.
What happens during a hair removal procedure?
During your initial visit, your dermatologist will perform a thorough assessment to establish which treatment option is best suited for your condition. On the day of your treatment, they review the plan and educate you on what happens during laser hair removal. During the procedure, the aestheticians utilize the Clarity transmit concentrated light beams to the target area. Clarity has a unique cooling feature that reduces discomfort throughout the procedure. If you have hyperalgesia, extreme sensitivity to pain, inform your doctor during your first appointment. The length of the procedure depends on the area of treatment; for instance, your legs take longer than your upper lip. There is no downtime for laser hair removal, but your doctor may recommend that you shield your skin from direct sunlight using sunscreen.
How many treatment sessions do you need?
The number of treatment sessions required is dependent on the area of treatment. For excellent results, you may need several treatment sessions ranging from six to twelve. Your doctor discusses your schedule before grafting a treatment schedule that favors you.
