How Does Beverly Hills Laser Hair Removal Works
Simply put, laser hair removal emits a full spectrum of light that specifically targets and damages the melanin (dark matter) in your hair follicle while not heating or harming your skin. Melanin is what gives skin and hair color. Since the laser only targets the kind of melanin that causes hair color, only brown or black hair can be removed.
What parts of the body can you treat with Laser Hair Removal?
Beverly Hills laser hair removal has become extremely popular since the FDA gave it’s approval in 1997 because of it’s speed and effectiveness. It is commonly performed on the back, legs, chest, lip, neck, arms, shoulders, bikini area, pubic area, stomach, buttocks, ear lobe, underarm, hands and toes.
Is Laser Hair Removal permanent?
The general consensus is that laser hair removal is permanent. It has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration as a “permanent reduction” of hair. In general, you should not expect laser hair removal to get rid of every single strand of hair in a given area. Initially there is a set of 6 to 8 treatments performed on the desired area of the body. Afterwards, it is recommended to get follow up treatments 1 or 2 times a year until the desired effect takes place.
Is it painful?
Everyone has different thresholds of pain, but generally laser hair removal is no more painful than a waxing, but the sensations are completely different. You can compare it to a rubber band snapping against your skin. Each laser pulse treats a nickel sized area of the skin. If you are very sensitive to pain, you can request anesthetic cream to be applied in order to lessen the pain.
What Are The Possible Risks and Side Effects of Laser Hair Removal?
As with all treatments, the possibility of side effects are present. They are infrequent, but if any of the following effects last more than 3 days, contact your technician and/or doctor. Common side effects are itching, redness and swelling for up to 3 days, tingling and feelings of numbness. On rare occurrences, scabbing, infection, purpling of the skin, bruising and temporary pigment change many take place.
How Much Does Laser Hair Removal Cost?
Prices vary from clinic to clinic, and working with the most experienced, well qualified technicians will always cost more than average, as is the case with Beverly Hills area laser hair removal clinics. It is recommended that you receive 3 or 4 consultations before deciding on the clinic so you can price compare and find out the technicians experience.
