LASER HAIR REMOVAL
Are you tired of shaving, waxing and suffering from those annoying bumps and cuts? There is a safe and effective alternative to hair removal. It is laser hair removal that offers permanent hair reduction. Youthful Solutions offers laser hair removal utilizing one of the most effective hair removal equipment available on the market – the Light Sheer Diode.
What is the Light Sheer Diode and how does it work? The Light Sheer Diode laser is a laser that utilizes an 800 nm wavelength which is used to target hair follicles. The process involves selective photothermolysis. In other words, the laser is directed specifically for hair in that it selectively targets the melanin (color) of the hair and the texture. In this process, it ultimately destroys the hair follicle. The energy emitted through the laser is delivered to the area and the hair follicles are destroyed.
How does it feel? Everyone has a different reaction to what is perceived as discomfort or pain. However, most patients describe treatments as a warm to hot sensation on the skin or a tolerable sting similar to that of waxing. For sensitive clients, a topical anesthetic may be applied to the skin 45 minutes to an hour prior to the treatment.
How long will the treatment take? In terms of a single treatment, depending on the area to be treated, the chin and upper lip may take 5 minutes and both legs could take an hour and a half. To achieve permanent hair reduction, an average of 3 to 5 treatments may be necessary depending on skin type and body area. The frequency between treatments is about 6 to 8 weeks.
What side effects can be seen and is there anything I should avoid? Side effects are very minimal however temporary side effects may result in redness and a hive like appearance with some crusting or scabbing where the hair may be singed or destroyed. Scabbing may last about 3 to 5 days and an antibiotic ointment should be applied to the area twice a day until complete healing is achieved. Things to avoid would be tanning of the treatment areas and waxing. Tanned skin makes it difficult for the equipment to pick up the pigment in the hair and could also cause lightning of the skin. Waxing is also avoided because the hair follicle must be present in order for the equipment to detect the hair.
What kind of skin types and hair colors can be treated? The Light Sheer Diode is effective on all skin types and hair color except white hair and blonde fuzz. Most lasers target the pigment inside the hair therefore no pigment, no result.
How much do Laser Hair removal treatments cost? The cost varies due to the size of the area treated and the number of treatments necessary. 4 to 5 treatments are the norm but you can stop treatments when you are satisfied with your results. Treatment costs are very reasonable and will vary from client to client. The exact cost per treatment will be discussed during consultation. BEFORE & AFTER PHOTOS
