Permanent Laser Hair Removal Treatment

Are you not happy with the pain of going through shaving, tweezing, or waxing to remove unwanted hair? Laser hair removal may be the perfect option for you.

Laser hair removal is a cosmetic procedure that uses a beam of light to remove unwanted hairs on the body.

The common treatment locations include the legs, armpits, upper lip and chin, arms and bikini line. It is possible to treat unwanted hair in nearly any area, except the eyebrows and surrounding areas of the eyes.

Who is a good candidate?

Several factors decide whether someone is a good candidate for laser hair removal. They are:

• People with dark and coarse hair
• Those with pale skin and dark hair.
• Those who are not pregnant or nursing
• Those who are committed to sticking to a series of treatments

There are a variety of lasers with varying results today that can bypass the skin’s surface, but still target the hair follicles which can be used for darker skin tones as well. The new Spectrum diode laser system which is being used at Nova is a groundbreaking machine and one of the fastest laser for hair removal. This laser is appropriate for quick treatment on parts of the body with large as well as small surface areas, and is most effective on almost all patients.

What to expect?

Laser hair removal is usually done in a series of treatments, with varied intervals depending on the location treated.

The areas such as the upper lip and chin the treatment might be repeated in short intervals as hair grows quickly in these areas. Whereas on areas like the legs and back, the treatment might be done in longer intervals.

The doctor might apply topical anesthetics to the skin to reduce discomforts if any during treatment.

The doctor will then press the hand-held laser device to the skin activating the laser. The laser beam will pass through the skin to the hair follicles, damaging the hair follicles with hair growth. 

Treating a small areas, like the upper lip, will take only a few minutes whereas treating a larger areas, such as legs, might take more than an hour or so.

The patient might have redness and swelling for the first few hours after the procedure. In case of any skin reaction such as minor burns immediately after the procedure, the doctor might prescribe steroid cream to the area for a variable period of time.
