HOW DOES LASER HAIR REMOVAL WORK?
Dr. Sandra Margoles uses state-of-the-art laser technology to target unwanted hair at its source. The process involves directing concentrated beams of light onto the treatment area. The pigment in the hair follicles absorbs the laser’s energy, damaging the follicles and inhibiting future growth. This precise approach addresses unwanted hair while leaving the surrounding skin untouched.
Depending on the treatment area’s size, sessions can range from a few minutes to about an hour. Common treatment areas include the arms, underarms, chest, back, legs, bikini line, and face. Patients typically require a series of sessions to achieve optimal results, as hair growth occurs in cycles and the laser is most effective during the active growth phase.
Our laser hair removal technology harnesses the power of concentrated light to precisely target hair follicles. The laser emits a light that is absorbed by the pigment in the hair, effectively damaging the follicle and inhibiting future hair growth. This process is meticulously calibrated to ensure maximum efficiency while safeguarding your skin’s integrity.
The key to the success of laser hair removal is its ability to target melanin – the pigment in the hair. This makes the treatment particularly effective on darker hair types, though recent advancements have broadened its efficacy across various hair colors and skin tones.
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING AND AFTER LASER HAIR TREATMENT
During your laser hair removal session, you may experience a mild warming or tingling sensation as the laser works on your skin. To ensure your comfort, Dr. Margoles may use cooling techniques or a numbing cream if needed. After the procedure, you may notice slight redness or swelling, which is entirely normal and usually subsides within a few days.
One of the many benefits of laser hair removal is that it requires no downtime. You can return to your regular activities immediately after your appointment. However, you must protect your skin by applying sunscreen and avoiding direct sun exposure for the first few days following treatment.
Most people need a series of laser hair removal sessions to target hair in its active growth phase and achieve beautifully smooth skin without shaving, waxing, or plucking.
While some patients may require occasional touch-up sessions, most achieve optimal results after completing their recommended treatment regimen.
