If you have unwanted body hair, you have most likely tried all types of methods of removing it. Waxing and shaving simply remove the hair for a limited amount of time. When the hair begins growing back, you are left with stubble. Unfortunately, these methods of removing hair place you in a continuous cycle that never ends. The good news is, there are now better treatments available. Through Laser Hair Removal, your unwanted hair can be removed for months and even years at a time. When it does grow back, it will grow back finer than ever before.
To have your unwanted hair removed, David K. Hiranaka M.D. D.M.D will use a special laser, to send a concentrated beam of light into your hair follicles. The pigments in your hair absorb the light energy, effectively killing the hair and retarding the growth of the follicle.
During the procedure, you should not feel any major pain, but you may feel some discomfort. Most people describe the sensation felt as being like a pinch or being popped with a hot rubber band. If you begin to feel any serious pain, make sure you inform the doctor.
Afterwards, it is important to protect your skin and avoid sun exposure. To prevent a rash from developing in the treated area, you will need to use hydrocortisone or antibacterial lotion. This will protect your skin while the follicles remain open for a few days. It will also ease any discomfort you may feel.
Laser Hair Removal is most effective on people with lighter skin tones and dark hair. Through a consultation appointment, you can learn if this treatment will remove your unwanted hair and what you can expect in results. Most people end up needing more than one treatment, to effectively remove their hair, since hair grows in different stages.
If you would like to learn more about this procedure for removing unwanted hair, contact the office and ask about a consultation appointment. Through laser therapy, you can end the shaving and waxing cycle and have smooth skin. This therapy can be carried out on almost any part of the body.
