Laser hair removal houston

Shaving is a hassle for men and women, and sometimes it can be a downright pain if you consider Knicks, razor burns, and ingrown hairs. So why do we put ourselves through if it? If the constant need to shave and avoid stubble makes your body care more frustrating, it might be time to find a different body hair maintenance solution. At ShineMD Medspa & Liposuction Center in Houston, TX, we know that laser hair removal is one of the best ways to treat yourself to a simpler hygiene routine and is the essential part of any med spa or plastic surgery practice.

What Is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is an energy-based treatment that utilizes laser energy to slow or prevent hair growth. This laser treatment is ideal for those who want to simplify their body hair routine since it produces long-lasting results. To be clear, this treatment doesn’t completely halt hair growth – it does, however, slow hair growth and significantly thin out hair that does grow back.

Slowing your hair growth is one of the easiest ways to avoid constant shaving, skin irritation, and ingrown hairs. This laser treatment is a simple, painless, and effective solution compared to waxing, tweezing, or even using creams like Nair.

How Does This Treatment Work?

Laser treatments to remove body hair all work in similar ways. In general, these lasers are programmed with technology that is only active when the darker pigment is detected on the skin; this means that the laser treatment is only active when it detects a hair follicle on the skin. This is a huge boon since it means that your skin type hair will not be damaged by laser energy.

The type of laser used for this treatment is refined to essentially stun the hair follicle to create just enough damage that hair begins to grow more slowly. Unfortunately, over time and after repeated exposure to laser energy, this treatment will inhibit the natural function of the hair follicle, and you will have to deal with less body hair overall.

Where Can You Use This Treatment?

This treatment can be used on virtually every area of the body where you have unwanted hair. People can still have laser hair removal treatments but different laser treatment settings with different hair colors or skin types. This laser treatment can effectively thin and stunt your hair growth from the upper lip to the top of your toes.LHR can also be done in any large or small areas of the skin where you see unwanted hair. Some common target areas where you can use this treatment include:

  • Legs
  • Bikini area
  • Stomach
  • Underarms
  • Chest
  • Back
  • Face

 

How Many Treatments Will You Need?

You will need to have several consecutive treatments to achieve your desired results. Most people need between six and eight treatments to achieve significant results, spaced about two to four weeks apart. After your initial round of treatments, you will likely need maintenance treatments a couple of times a year to continue enjoying reduced hair growth. In addition, many patients have maintenance appointments every six or so months to maintain results.

What Happens If You Miss a Treatment?

If you miss a treatment, the worst thing that happens is that you will be back to square ones in terms of hair growth reduction. Your initial round of treatments must happen on schedule, as missing even one appointment will give your hair follicles enough time to restart normal hair growth behaviors. If you want to achieve your results as quickly as possible, you should not miss any of your initial treatment appointments.

How Should You Prepare for Laser hair removal Houston Treatment?

Because this is a laser treatment that will expose your target area skin to elevated light wavelengths, you will need to take certain precautions before your appointment to protect your skin. One of the most important things you will have to wear SPF graded 30 or higher for at least two weeks before your first appointment. You will need to avoid direct sunlight, tanning beds, and self-tanning products, as well.

You will also need to avoid waxing or tweezing your body hair at least one week before your appointment. However, you will be asked to shave the treatment areas at least one to three days before your appointment to make the laser treatment easier and more accurate.

What Should You Do After Treatment?

After your laser hair removal session, you should continue to wear adequate sun protection, particularly when planning to be outside during the day. Wearing SPF after your treatment will ensure that your skin is not damaged by any UV rays and will prevent any skin discoloration after laser exposure. You must also avoid unnecessary exposure to excessive heat, including hot water, saunas, hot tubs, and heating pads for a few days after your treatment.

Many patients find that keeping their skin moisturized and use the right skincare products after a laser treatment is important since the thermal energy of the treatment may cause minor skin dryness to keep smooth skin. Using skin care products like aloe vera or simple moisturizers with no active ingredients like Retinol are the best options for maintaining moisture. If you aren’t sure what moisturizer you should be using, please let us know to make recommendations.

What Are the Advantages of Laser hair removal Houston Treatment?

This treatment has a few advantages: how long the results last and how simple the treatment is overall. Another advantage of this treatment is that it will help correct any ingrown hairs since the laser energy essentially re-teaches the hair follicle how to grow hair straight. Many people also benefit from better skin tone and texture following laser treatments. Individual treatments may vary.

Who Is The Right Candidate For Laser Hair Removal Houston?

Laser treatments to remove body hair are generally good options for most people who want to spend less time shaving or dealing with body hair maintenance. This treatment is appropriate for men and women, except for women who are currently pregnant. Individual results may vary. You may be a good candidate for laser hair removal treatment if you want to:

  • Reduce hair growth
  • Shave less
  • Avoid ingrown hairs
  • Enjoy smoother skin
