Laser hair removal in Indian Harbour Beach is a popular cosmetic treatment that can safely meet the needs of men and women who want to eliminate unwanted hair on their face or bodies. The treatments are customizable, virtually painless, and effective. Once you undergo treatment, you’ll see real results and can enjoy them for years to come.
How Effective Is Laser Hair Removal in Indian Harbor Beach & West Melbourne for Ingrown Hairs?
Ingrown hairs are one of the many downsides of traditional at-home hair removal methods. An ingrown hair forms when hair is removed from the hair follicle, whether by waxing, shaving, or plucking, and it begins growing back into the skin, causing pain, inflammation, and in some cases, an infection.
Once you undergo a customized laser hair removal treatment plan, ingrown hairs will become a thing of the past. You’ll never have to deal with the pain and discomfort of this side effect of waxing, tweezing, and shaving, but instead can enjoy smooth, healthy, and rejuvenated skin.
Why Laser Hair Removal Effectively Prevents Ingrown Hairs
The laser hair removal device uses laser light energy to heat the hair follicle, a process that essentially damages it and prevents it from growing hair. The laser device doesn’t irritate the hair follicle simply by cutting down the hair or temporarily removing it. Instead, it prevents future hair growth, and without future hair growth, there will be no more ingrown hairs.
This professional treatment is the most effective way to achieve hair-free skin and prevent ingrown hairs, as well as the other uncomfortable side effects that are associated with at-home and some professional in-office hair removal methods, like irritation, redness, and razor burn.
What Should I Expect From Laser Hair Removal in Indian Harbour Beach & West Melbourne?
Once you decide to move forward and schedule laser hair removal in Indian Harbour Beach, there are some things you’ll need to do to prepare for the treatment. It’s important that you avoid sun exposure before your scheduled treatment because it isn’t safe to treat sunburned skin with the laser device.
Additionally, it’s important that you stay hydrated so your skin is hydrated at the time of your treatment, and that you avoid applying any topical products like lotions, oils, or cosmetics to your desired treatment area. If you cannot arrive with clean skin, your laser hair removal technician will cleanse your skin prior to your session.
The Treatment Experience
Advancements in laser technology have led to the development of hair removal devices that allow for quick, efficient, and virtually painless treatments. These devices have built-in cooling technology that enables the technician to adjust the device to maintain a comfortable skin temperature during treatment.
Your technician will discuss what the treatment itself feels like during your initial consultation so that you have realistic expectations regarding what to expect. Patients can comfortably undergo treatment without any numbing cream. Depending on the size and number of treatment areas you want to address, you can expect the session to take anywhere from 20 to 40 minutes.
The Recovery
There’s no significant downtime after laser hair removal. However, you will need to follow some aftercare directives as your skin heals. You’ll need to continue avoiding sun exposure, since your skin will be more sensitive to UV rays after treatment.
You’ll also need to be mindful about what you put on your skin and temporarily avoid certain ingredients in topical products that could irritate your skin, like chemical exfoliating ingredients, fragrances, retinoids, and other anti-aging ingredients. You’ll also need to be diligent about wearing sunscreen daily or protective clothing when you are exposed to the sun so that you don’t experience sun damage.
Caring for Your Skin
Your technician will give you any additional pertinent instructions about caring for your skin, what topical products to use, which to avoid, and whether you’ll need to temporarily apply any type of topical anti-inflammatory medication after treatment.
If you do regularly undergo professional skincare treatments or exfoliate your skin, your technician can give you more information about how long you should wait after laser hair removal in Indian Harbour Beach before you resume these treatments.
What Are the Most Common Treatment Areas?
One of the benefits of laser hair removal is that the laser device can treat unwanted hair virtually anywhere on the face or body. The most common treatment areas include the arms, legs, chest, back, bikini/Brazilian, underarms, face, and neck.
Can I Treat More Than One Area?
Both men and women schedule laser hair removal treatments to achieve hair-free skin. Some choose to treat one specific area, while others treat multiple areas. Some patients may begin a treatment plan to address one area of concern and love their results so much that they return to treat additional areas.
When you come in for your initial consultation, you can meet with an experienced laser hair removal technician who can help determine what your treatment plan will look like if you want to begin a plan to treat unwanted hair in multiple areas. Treating multiple areas during the same treatment plan will ensure you achieve your desired results in less time.
Which Device Do You Use?
At The Refinery Medspa & Wellness locations, we use the Candela GentleMax Pro laser device to perform our laser hair removal treatments. This device is superior to other similar devices used for professional treatments because it has an adjustable spot size, which allows technicians to treat small, delicate, or hard to reach areas as well as larger areas of the body.
It also has a large spot size, which ensures that treatments are quick and that the device can target more active hair follicles during a single treatment. This laser also utilizes dual and single wavelengths to safely treat patients with all different skin types and tones.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
The best candidates for laser hair removal are patients who want to eliminate unwanted hair, avoid ingrown hairs, and save time and money on at-home or in-office hair removal methods. Both men and women make good candidates for this treatment as long as they meet the treatment qualifications.
Patients should have healthy skin, free of any irritation or infection in the planned treatment area. Additionally, women must not be pregnant or nursing at the time of treatment for safety reasons. An initial consultation is the best way to determine if laser hair removal is right for you.
How Long Can I Expect My Results To Last?
One of the many benefits of laser hair removal treatments is that the results are long lasting. Because the device targets active hair follicles and prevents them from continuing to grow hair, you can expect long-lasting results.
The results are intended to be permanent, but there are some rare occurrences in which hair may grow back, including hormonal changes, the side effects of medications, or certain health conditions. In the event that treated hair follicles do begin regrowing hair, you can come in for another session to target those follicles and prevent future growth.
