Laser hair removal is a common out-patient procedure performed on site by our skilled medical professionals at Beautiful Orlando Spa and Cosmetic Surgery in Orlando, FL. The treatment involves using short bursts of concentrated laser light to target and destroy the hair follicles in places where body hair is more prevalent such as, the underarms, legs, bikini area, chin, and upper lip. Laser hair removal can be performed on both men and women of all ages, offering long-lasting hair removal and growth reduction for a clearer appearance. Multiple sessions may be recommended depending on the amount of hair and area being treated.

BEST CANDIDATES

If our laser can detect your hair, it can remove it. Sometimes, blond, white, gray or red hair are not always the best candidates for laser hair removal. However, there are new developments every day to help address this problem for men and women with light colored hair. Keep in mind that your hair grows in cycles (rest and growth), and some hair may be in a dormant cycle.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Before your laser hair removal treatment at our Kissimmee office, our team advises the hair to be neatly trimmed. You should only shave the area; do not wax or use any hair removal creams. The reason why one must shave before getting this treatment is so that the laser targets the hair follicle, instead of the entire hair itself. Extremely long hair is not necessarily great for this removal procedure. If the hair is too long, the laser session will not be effective. We ask that you wear protective eyewear while the laser is on your skin to protect your eyes from the heat energy. Our aesthetic technician will apply a cold gel to the area then test a small area of your skin to test for negative skin reactions and to see what the best setting is right for the laser. Once the settings are just right, our tech will continue to place the handheld device and perform short, controlled movements with the laser as it is breaking down your hair follicles. With intense, pulsating light that we apply to your skin, the laser will target and destroy your hair follicles. This will help prevent future growth. The laser will not damage the skin or soft tissues in the area of treatment. We recommend scheduling several laser hair reduction sessions to maximize your chance of removing hair in a different cycle and see terrific results.

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS

Depending on the size and location of your treatment area, most sessions are relatively quick and sometimes only a few minutes! Of course if you are treating the majority of the area on your legs, the sessions will  be a lot longer than on your chin. You can also expect no downtime, and you can go about your day as planned (most patients can return to normal activities immediately after treatment).

REMOVE YOUR UNWANTED HAIR

Laser hair removal can be an effective and efficient way to eliminate and greatly reduce the appearance of unwanted body hair. This is a noninvasive treatment that can be a great alternative to constant shaving or waxing. Please call and schedule an appointment at our Kissimmee, FL office for a skin and hair analysis to learn if our laser hair removal could be a benefit to you.
