Laser Hair Removal

Ideal Treatment For:

Hair removal treatments, such as laser hair removal or intense pulsed light (IPL), are ideal for individuals looking to reduce or eliminate unwanted body or facial hair. These treatments offer a long-term reduction of hair growth, making them popular for those seeking smooth, hair-free skin.

1. People with Unwanted Hair on Multiple Body Areas

  • What it treats: Hair removal treatments can target various body areas, including the legs, arms, underarms, bikini line, face, back, and chest.
  • Ideal candidate: Individuals who want to reduce or remove hair from large or multiple areas of the body, such as the legs, underarms, back, or bikini area, are excellent candidates for laser or IPL hair removal. These treatments are efficient and can cover larger areas in a single session.

2. Individuals Seeking Long-Term Hair Reduction

  • What it treats: Laser hair removal and IPL offer long-term hair reduction by targeting the hair follicle to inhibit future hair growth. While not always permanent, these treatments can significantly reduce hair growth, making maintenance easier.
  • Ideal candidate: People looking for long-term hair reduction rather than temporary methods like shaving, waxing, or plucking will benefit from hair removal treatments. Ideal candidates are those who want to reduce hair growth permanently or for an extended period.

3. Those with Frequent Ingrown Hairs

  • What it treats: Ingrown hairs are a common issue, especially after shaving or waxing. Laser hair removal reduces the likelihood of ingrown hairs by destroying the hair follicle, preventing new hair from growing and getting trapped under the skin.
  • Ideal candidate: Individuals prone to ingrown hairs, razor bumps, or skin irritation from shaving or waxing are great candidates for laser hair removal, as it can eliminate the source of the problem by stopping hair growth.

4. People Who Want to Avoid Shaving, Waxing, or Plucking

  • What it treats: Hair removal treatments provide a long-term alternative to time-consuming hair removal methods like shaving, waxing, or plucking.
  • Ideal candidate: Individuals looking to reduce the frequency or eliminate the need for regular hair removal practices will benefit from laser hair removal or IPL. These treatments offer long-lasting smooth skin with minimal maintenance.

5. Those with Excessive Hair Growth (Hirsutism)

  • What it treats: Hirsutism is a condition in which women experience excessive hair growth in areas where men typically grow hair (such as the face, chest, and back). Laser hair removal can help reduce this excess hair growth.
  • Ideal candidate: Women with hirsutism, often caused by hormonal imbalances (such as polycystic ovary syndrome, or PCOS), can benefit from laser hair removal to reduce excessive hair growth and manage the condition.

6. People with Busy Schedules Seeking Low Maintenance

  • What it treats: Hair removal treatments offer long-term results, reducing the need for frequent hair removal maintenance. Once a series of treatments is completed, touch-ups are usually needed only occasionally.
  • Ideal candidate: Individuals with busy lifestyles who want to save time and effort by reducing or eliminating the need for regular hair removal practices are ideal candidates. After the initial treatment series, the need for maintenance is minimal.

7. Men Seeking Facial or Body Hair Reduction

  • What it treats: Laser hair removal can reduce unwanted facial or body hair in men, such as back hair, chest hair, or facial hair (e.g., neck or beard area) to achieve a cleaner, smoother look.
  • Ideal candidate: Men who want to reduce the thickness of their facial hair, eliminate body hair, or maintain a cleaner, more groomed appearance on the back or chest would benefit from laser hair removal.

8. Those with Sensitive Skin

  • What it treats: Shaving, waxing, and other hair removal methods can irritate sensitive skin, leading to razor burn, ingrown hairs, and rashes. Laser hair removal is gentler on sensitive skin since it avoids the constant friction and irritation caused by other hair removal methods.
  • Ideal candidate: People with sensitive skin who experience irritation, razor bumps, or redness from other hair removal methods will find laser hair removal to be a less irritating option for long-term smoothness.

9. People Who Want a Quick and Efficient Hair Removal Option

  • What it treats: Laser hair removal and IPL are faster and more efficient for treating larger areas compared to waxing, threading, or electrolysis. Treatment times vary based on the size of the area but are generally quick.
  • Ideal candidate: Individuals seeking a fast, efficient method for removing hair, especially from larger areas like the legs, back, or chest, will benefit from laser hair removal.

Common Hair Removal Methods:

  • Laser Hair Removal: Uses concentrated beams of light to target and destroy hair follicles, inhibiting future hair growth.
    Machines we carry are: Inmode diolaze xl and Aerolase

Who Might Not Be Ideal for Hair Removal Treatments:

  • People with very light or gray hair: Since laser and IPL target melanin (the pigment in hair), they may not be as effective on very light blonde, gray, or white hair, as these hairs have less melanin for the laser to target.
  • Individuals with certain skin conditions or infections: People with active skin infections, sunburn, or certain skin conditions should wait until their skin has healed before undergoing hair removal treatments.
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding women: Laser hair removal is generally not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to a lack of research on its safety during these periods.

How it Works

InMode DiolazeXL and Aerolase Neo are advanced laser hair removal technologies that use different types of laser systems to target hair follicles and reduce unwanted hair growth. Both treatments offer safe, effective hair removal, but they use distinct mechanisms to achieve this result.

1. InMode DiolazeXL

InMode DiolazeXL is a diode laser hair removal system that uses high-power diode lasers to target and destroy hair follicles, inhibiting future hair growth. It is known for its ability to treat larger areas more quickly and efficiently than traditional laser systems.

How DiolazeXL Works:

  • Diode Laser Technology: The DiolazeXL uses a 810 nm diode laser, which is ideal for targeting the pigment (melanin) in hair follicles. The laser energy is absorbed by the melanin in the hair, generating heat that damages the follicle, which reduces the follicle's ability to produce new hair.

  • Targeting the Hair Follicle: The laser’s energy is absorbed by the hair shaft and follicle, specifically targeting the root of the hair. The heat from the laser damages the hair follicle and disrupts its ability to grow new hair. Over a series of sessions, this leads to significant hair reduction.

  • Large Treatment Area: DiolazeXL is equipped with a large treatment spot size, which means it can cover large areas of the body, like the back or legs, more quickly than many other laser systems.

  • Built-in Cooling Technology: DiolazeXL has built-in cooling technology that helps protect the skin and minimize discomfort during the procedure. The cooling feature keeps the skin cool while the laser is working, allowing for a more comfortable experience with less risk of burns or irritation.

  • Ideal for Multiple Skin Types: DiolazeXL is effective for a wide range of skin tones and hair types, though it works best on individuals with darker hair and lighter skin due to the melanin-targeting nature of the laser.

 

2. Aerolase Neo

Aerolase Neo is a versatile 650-microsecond laser that uses 1064 nm Nd

laser technology. It’s known for being gentle, non-invasive, and effective for hair removal on a wide range of skin types, including darker skin tones. It also treats other skin conditions such as acne, pigmentation, and skin rejuvenation.

 

How Aerolase Neo Works for Hair Removal:

  • 1064 nm Nd

    Laser: The Aerolase Neo uses a 1064 nm wavelength, which is effective for targeting the deeper layers of the skin where the hair follicle resides. This wavelength is particularly safe for darker skin tones because it minimizes the risk of pigmentation changes or burns.
  • 650-Microsecond Technology: The Aerolase Neo delivers laser energy in 650-microsecond pulses, which are ultra-short bursts of energy. This helps to selectively target the hair follicles without damaging the surrounding skin. The rapid delivery of laser energy is gentle, minimizing discomfort and reducing the risk of skin damage.

  • Minimizing Hair Follicle Growth: Similar to other laser hair removal systems, the Aerolase Neo targets the melanin in the hair follicles, heating and damaging the follicle to reduce future hair growth. Over time and multiple treatments, the treated hair follicles are destroyed, preventing new hair growth.

  • Suitable for All Skin Types: One of the standout features of Aerolase Neo is its versatility for all skin types, including darker skin tones, which can be more sensitive to other types of lasers. The 1064 nm wavelength safely penetrates deeper into the skin, avoiding the risk of damaging the skin's surface.

Both technologies offer effective solutions for hair reduction, but the choice between the two depends on your skin type, hair color, and other specific needs (such as sensitivity or additional skin concerns)
