What is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is a medical procedure that uses concentrated beams of light (laser) to remove unwanted hair. The laser targets the pigment in the hair follicles, damaging them and inhibiting future hair growth. This treatment can be performed on various parts of the body, including the face, legs, arms, underarms, and bikini area.
How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
During the procedure, a laser emits a light that is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair. The light energy converts to heat, which damages the hair follicles that produce hairs. This damage inhibits or delays future hair growth. While laser hair removal effectively slows hair growth, it usually doesn't result in permanent hair removal. Multiple treatments are required for initial hair removal, and maintenance treatments might be needed as well.
Benefits of Laser Hair Removal
Choosing laser hair removal at Jova Medical Aesthetics offers numerous benefits:
Long-Lasting Results
Unlike shaving or waxing, which need to be repeated regularly, laser hair removal provides longer-lasting results. After completing a series of treatments, most patients enjoy smooth, hair-free skin for months or even years.
Precision
Laser hair removal targets dark, coarse hairs while leaving the surrounding skin undamaged. This precision makes it an excellent option for removing hair from sensitive areas.
Speed
Each laser pulse takes a fraction of a second and can treat many hairs at the same time. Small areas, such as the upper lip, can be treated in less than a minute, while larger areas like the back or legs may take up to an hour.
Minimal Discomfort
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during laser hair removal treatments. The sensation is often compared to the snap of a rubber band against the skin. Our state-of-the-art equipment at Jova Medical Aesthetics includes cooling mechanisms to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
What to Expect During Your Laser Hair Removal Treatment
Initial Consultation
Before starting laser hair removal, you’ll have a consultation with one of our experienced practitioners at Jova Medical Aesthetics. During this appointment, we will discuss your medical history, skin type, and hair color to determine if you are a suitable candidate for the procedure. We will also outline a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Preparation
To prepare for laser hair removal, avoid sun exposure and tanning beds for at least six weeks before your treatment. Shave the treatment area a day or two before your appointment, but avoid waxing or plucking the hair. This ensures the laser can effectively target the hair follicles.
The Procedure
During the procedure, you will wear protective eyewear to shield your eyes from the laser light. The practitioner will apply a cooling gel to the treatment area and use a handheld laser device to deliver the laser pulses. The duration of the treatment depends on the size of the area being treated.
Aftercare
After your laser hair removal session, you may experience some redness and swelling in the treated area, similar to a mild sunburn. This typically subsides within a few hours to a couple of days. Applying ice packs and using gentle skincare products can help soothe the skin. It’s important to avoid sun exposure and use sunscreen to protect the treated area.
