How does Laser Hair Removal work?

2009-03-13T09:31:00.001-07:00

Treating unwanted hair with lasers is an ideal non-invasive method to permanent hair reduction and long-term hair removal. Specially created to remove unwanted hair from anywhere on the body including arms, underarms, legs, face and back, the Laser Hair Removal procedure is also ideal in treating vulnerable sections of the body like nipples, bikini line and the chest. The laser only impacts hair follicles that are in the active growth stage so several Laser Hair Removal treatments may be required to immobilize hair follicles that are at different points in the growth stage. Generally speaking, most sections of the body respond to three to six Laser Hair Removal treatments, but the exact number of treatments necessary for lasting results depend on several factors, among them the specific area being treated, an individuals’ hair growth cycle and thickness of the hair. Please consult a Laser Hair Removal provider for a personalized assessment of your condition and to estimate how many treatments will be required for an ideal result.

Why Laser Hair Removal?

The aesthetic benefits of Laser Hair Removal treatment are obvious—smooth, hair-free skin, but there are also many medical and psychological benefits as well. Among them, Laser Hair Removal limits ingrowns thus preventing folliculitis, an infection of the hair follicle and Pseudofolliculitis barbae, more commonly known as razor bumps. Excessive body hair can negatively impact body image; embarrassed by unwanted hair, many individuals limit or withdraw from activities and social interaction. Teenagers, already quite self-conscious can be particularly impacted by the development of excessive body hair. From an athlete wishing to highlight physique to a mom wanting to spend more time on her family rather than shaving, the advantages of laser hair removal are many.

Laser Hair Removal Myths—Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow, Well Kind of…

2009-02-18T13:55:00.000-08:00

There are many myths surrounding laser hair removal. As the premier Medi Spa in Los Angeles, Blue Medi Spa in Sherman Oaks feels compelled to set the record straight. The most common misconception is that laser hair removal actually removes all unwanted hair, it doesn’t. Laser hair removal permanently reduces unwanted hair, meaning all of the hair may be removed but in some cases it can come back. This can often be attributed to hormonal changes such as pregnancy or menopause. Another misconception is that individuals with darker skin tones do not benefit from laser hair removal. That’s completely false. Although once upon a time it was more challenging to treat darker skin tones, today’s lasers are finely tuned to address all skin types and tones with excellent results. The most important myth however is the idea that one treatment will eradicate unwanted hair. Although it’s understandable why clients can wish this to be so, the truth is hair grows in stages and several treatments are necessary to eliminate as much unwanted hair as possible. One aspect that isn’t a myth is that laser hair removal is still the ideal procedure to safely and effectively eliminate unwanted hair. So if you’re feeling done with the hirsute look, give Blue Medi Spa a call and we’ll get you looking sleek and hair-free before swimsuit season.

How does Laser Hair Removal compare with other hair removal methods?

2009-01-19T21:32:00.000-08:00

Unlike temporary means of hair removal such as waxing, depilatory creams and shaving, Laser Hair Removal does not need to be repeated once the treatment is completed in full. In addition, non-permanent methods of hair removal often cause ingrowns, irritation and bumps. Laser Hair Removal is unique in that it actually reduces ingrowns and other forms of irritation. Laser Hair Removal eradicates the hair follicle allowing for permanent hair reduction while addressing ingrowns. The Laser Hair Removal process is generally comfortable; there is little chance of infection and it lessens the skin inflammation associated with other methods of hair removal.

LASERS FOR YOUR FACE

2009-01-07T17:42:00.000-08:00

The same technology that zaps your bikini line is ready for your brows, your upper lip, your chin…

It’s permanent, it barely hurts, and it promises to get rid of facial hair its pretty much forever, in five to six visits. “People don’t believe it when they first hear about lasers for the face.” Says Mona Sappenfield. Owner of Mona Spa and Laser Center in Memphis. “Most people can use them with fantastic results.” This includes women with dark skin, and even sensitive skin. “The only hair it won’t get rid of is blond.” Says Cindy Barshop. Owner of New York’s completely Bare. “if the hair is darker than your skin, the laser will get it.” The treatments also have skincare benefits. “Your complexion will look brighter and clearer, since the light pulses are the same as in many laser facials.” Says Sappenfield. Laser hair removal is comparable in price to electrolysis but hurts a lot less. And while women usually have their most loathed hair removed first, laser clients at L.A’s Blue Medical Spa have returned to have their brows permanently shaped.
