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.

The procedure costs is something that should be carefully considered. A single treatment of lips or the chin costs anything between 200 and 400 dollars. The exact charges will depend on a number of factors, most importantly number of hairs. A number of treatments will be required, which further pushes the costs up. A larger area costs more to treat.

There are people who wonder if the procedure is painful or uncomfortable. There usually is some mild discomfort as treatment progresses but most patients find it tolerable. For easing the discomfort, topical numbing creams are used. However, the crams must not be applied to areas larger than the size of the hands. There are some laser treatment centers which handle discomfort using cooling machines.

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.

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.
