Unwanted hair on your body or face can take a toll on your self-confidence, especially when you might not have time to shave, wax, or pluck daily. Fortunately, there is an easier way to reduce the hair in a gentle and pain-free procedure permanently. Laser hair removal uses heat to interrupt the hair follicles’ growth cycle, therefore controlling the hair development.
An experienced team at A Beautiful You Medical Spa offers laser hair removal in Memphis and has successfully helped many people to get a permanent dramatic reduction in unwanted hair. The team uses Venus velocity™ laser for hair removal treatment because this leading-edge technology has proven to be versatile, effective, and safe.
Areas Treatable by Laser
With Venus velocity™ laser, hair can be removed from all types of skin successfully. The A Beautiful You Medical Spa team can remove hair from legs, face, bikini areas, underarms, arms, and backs. However, laser hair removal is not suitable for use around the eye. You can book an appointment and get rid of that undesirable hair from providers with extensive experience.
How You Should Prepare For Your Laser Hair Removal
Anything that can remove your hair root should be avoided when considering laser hair removal. Such include waxing and plucking. Moreover, chemical peels, collagen injections, spray tans, sunbathing, and using tanning beds, as well as using perfumes and deodorants should also be avoided. However, you can trim the treatment area before the appointment. Preparing yourself can improve the outcomes.
You can expect to experience a tolerable, mild discomfort during the procedure, which doesn’t last long as the treatment only takes about 5-15 minutes, depending on the treatment area.
How Laser Hair Removal Works
The theory behind laser hair removal is harnessing laser energy’s power to destroy the hair follicles permanently. During the treatment, your provider moves the laser to the treatment area allowing the laser to direct energy into the hair follicle. The energy is absorbed into the follicle, heating it to the point of destruction.
The hair follicles destroyed by laser energy cannot repair themselves, and therefore the results you get are permanent.
4-6 laser treatments can be recommended to give you better results. The hair has three stages to maturity; growth (anagen), transitional (catagen), and resting (telogen). Most of the hair follicles are in the growth phase, and therefore laser hair removal is more effective when done at this stage.
Benefits of Laser Hair Removal
Precision
The treatment can be selectively targeted on the treatment area and focused on dark coarse hair without affecting the surrounding skin.
Predictability
The treatment procedure is more accurate compared to other alternatives, and the results occur as expected.
Speed
At a fraction of a second, a single pulse of the laser can treat many hairs altogether. This means that within one minute, treatment for small areas can be completed.
What You Should Expect After the Procedure
Your skin can be swollen or a little red after a laser hair removal procedure. However, in case of any discomfort, your provider will instruct you accordingly, or you can use ice and other over the counter products. It would also help to protect the skin from direct sunlight.
The treated hair can begin to fall off within a few days or weeks after the procedure. At A Beautiful You Medical Spa, you can receive a beauty promise program that protects the laser hair removal results for life.
Lasers hair removal is what you need to get a dramatic reduction of unwanted hair. Reach out to your provider at A Beautiful You Medical Spa to see if you are a candidate and say bye to routine shaving.
