Cosmetic and Plastic Surgeons

Everyone interested in laser hair removal always wonders where all they can have the procedure performed. I found an answer on the website of a Miami plastic surgeon. He says, “Any area, except around the eyes.”

I was searching for things to avoid before receiving laser hair removal and ended up finding the website of a Miami plastic surgeon. His website says, “Do not tan areas for two weeks prior to treatment.”

Many people think that laser hair removal is a very painful procedure. This is more than likely because of the media. A Miami plastic surgeon’s website says, “Topical Anesthesia can be used for areas that are more sensitive.” Typically laser hair removal is not a painful procedure and that is not only with Miami laser hair removal, but with all laser hair removal.

The one thing that was leaning me away from laser hair removal was the side effects. I was very worried that they would be severe and painful, but after finding a Laguna Beach plastic surgeon’s website I knew otherwise. It says, “Possible side effects of treatment include mild redness, local swelling, dry skin, mild tenderness, blistering, whitehead-like bumps and lightening or darkening of the skin. Symptoms may be present for a couple of hours to days after treatment.”

The hair removal laser emits a gentle beam of light that passes through the skin and is absorbed by the hair follicle. The absorbed laser energy is transformed into heat, destroying the hair follicle and leaving the surrounding skin unaffected.

You will likely experience a temporary slight reddening of the skin or localized swelling during laser hair removal. You may feel like you have a bit of sunburn after surgery. Using an over-the-counter topical steroid cream is all you should need to remain comfortable. Remember to protect the skin with a SPF 30 sun-block. You may wear moisturizer and makeup formulated for sensitive skin, as desired. You may immediately return to your regular activities. You may notice hair shedding from follicles for a few days to a week after treatment, this is normal.

The GentleLASE laser is the only system available with a Dynamic Cooling Device that sprays cryogen onto the skin. This cools the upper skin layers and protects even the most delicate skin while dramatically reducing discomfort. Compared to other hair removal lasers on the market, our GentleLASE system is virtually painless.

For many people the removing of hair through shaving can be incredibly inconvenient and in some cases (such as being overweight or aged) very difficult. Because of this problem, men and women alike look for alternative ways to get rid of their unwanted hair to avoid embarrassment from razor burn or bumps. They turn to waxing, various hair removal sprays, and other temporary solutions to their problem. However, there is an alternative to any temporary hair removal. There is only one way to permanently remove unwanted facial or body hair and that is laser hair removal.

Laser hair removal uses highly amplified light to penetrate hair follicles. The pigmentation within the hair absorbs the light and the hair is destroyed within that follicle. Because the procedure targets the pigmentation within the hair, the procedure may prove ineffective for hairs that are white or have no pigment. This procedure not only helps to restore the physical appearance of the patient, but also restores self-confidence and respect to the patient.

Laser hair removal gets rid of embarrassing, unwanted hair, quickly and efficiently. With laser hair removal, patients are able to improve appearance and self-confidence.
Laser hair removal is most effective when the targeted hair is darker than the surrounding skin. During laser hair removal a beam of light is directed at the hair follicle, essentially destroying the follicle and reducing the likelihood of regrowth.

The laser targets the hair follicle without disrupting the skin’s surface to remove hair on any part of the body for smooth softer looking skin. The energy directed from the lasers hand piece is absorbed by the melanin in the hair follicle, the generated heat energy is designed to destroy the hair follicle so it cannot grow back. Our top of the line approach to hair removal is safe for all skin types and targets all hair colors that contain melenin. The result is permanent hair reduction providing the most desired effect.

Palomar StarLux™ Hair Removal utilizes clear pulsed light technology to target the melanin found in the hair shaft and follicle. This light heats the area, denatures the cells and destroys the hair follicle. The number of treatments required varies depending on the density, color and location of the hair growth. A consultation is needed to review pricing and number of treatments estimated.
