Remove Unwanted Hair with Laser Hair Removal
Unwanted facial and body hair is a very common problem that affects both men and women. Traditionally, people have used creams, shaving, plucking and other painful and questionable methods to try to remove unwanted hair. Today, unwanted hair can be virtually eliminated through laser hair removal. Laser hair removal can provide long term reduction of unwanted hair, saving you the time, money and aggravation of less effective methods. Lasers and light sources are also the safest treatments for long-term reduction of unwanted hair. Side effects of laser hair removal are minimal. Clients from Morristown, North Caldwell, Westfield and communities throughout northern New Jersey have made Dermatology Consultants of Short Hills their choice for laser hair removal treatments. Founder Dr. Richie Lin is a board certified dermatologist with extensive experience using lasers for hair removal as well as other non-invasive cosmetic procedures.
Alexandrite, diode, and Nd:YAG lasers, which are ideal for permanent hair removal treatments, are designed to send concentrated beams of light directly through the skin. They are then absorbed by the melanin (dark) pigment present in the hair follicle shafts. The heat destroys the follicles, rendering them unable to grow hair. Unlike tape and plucking, laser hair removal treatments are not painful. Most lasers have an attached cooling device that assists in reducing discomfort while protecting the top layer of skin.
Because hair grows in cycles, a series of treatments is usually necessary to reach hair reduction goals. Three to nine monthly treatments are typical to achieve desired results, depending on hair type, skin type and the area treated.
For optimal results, be sure to choose a properly trained aesthetic physician, such as a dermatologist or a plastic surgeon. Also be sure that the physician you consult will be the one performing the laser procedure. Our gallery of photos taken before and after laser hair removal treatment can show you the results.
