Laser hair removal is just one of many cosmetic services readily available for Boca Raton area patients interested in addressing areas of unwanted hair on the face and body. Patients will find that laser hair removal can be used anywhere, but the most common treatment areas include:
- Legs
- Arms
- Underarms
- Bikini line
- Face
- Back
- Chest
The Rendon Center for Dermatology and Aesthetic Medicine works closely with the patients to determine if they can benefit from this cosmetic treatment. Laser hair removal can be great for patients who are dealing with thick, dark hair on the body that is taking a lot of time, energy, and money to maintain. With laser hair removal, patients can permanently reduce and even eliminate hair from the treatment area.
Laser hair removal damages the hair follicles to keep them from producing hair in the future, making it the perfect way to achieve hair-free skin. This treatment can be done with the use of numbing creams on the skin for patients who have a low pain tolerance, though many patients are comfortable throughout their sessions. Patients will find that hair will fall out over the next few days following their treatments, and these follicles will no longer be producing unwanted hair.
Laser hair removal can provide reduction after just one treatment, but for full hair removal, several sessions should be scheduled weeks apart. This is done to target hair in the active growth phase, the only phase in the cycle in which the laser can affect the follicles. Patients who have several sessions done will be able to enjoy hair-free skin, though some patients may prefer just a few treatments to reduce the amount of hair in the treatment area. Speaking with our team of professionals is the best way to determine the most appropriate scheduling for sessions.
