Laser Hair Removal For Men

For many men, unwanted hair can be a nightmare. Getting grid of it can be painful. Until recently, the only choices we had for removing unwanted hair were smelly hair-removal creams, sharp razors, hot wax or painful electrolysis needles. Today advanced medical lasers and light systems provide the ultimate solution. This medical technology transcends the older, painful hair removal treatments and delivers longer lasting results. Now, even the men in our practice are pleased with the results made possible by our lasers.

• Q: How does a laser remove hair?
  A: Lasers and light systems don’t actually remove the hair. Instead, they kill the unwanted hair by targeting the melanin in the hair follicle; disabling the hair from further growth. Hair removal lasers and light from further growth. Hair removal lasers and light systems use low-energy settings to gently disable unwanted hair, thus putting an end to routine shaving or waxing. These treatments leave your skin looking and feeling smother and silkier. Because these systems scan the skin rather than treating one hair at a time, it is possible to treat larger areas such as the back, shoulders, arms, legs, face and neck. Best of all, these advanced Hair Removal Treatments are safe, fast, gentle and effective alternative methods for hair removal.
  
  
• Q: What if I have Dark skin?
  A: Hair removal lasers work by targeting the melanin. By adjusting the power settings on our lasers we can focus on the melanin in the hair and not the melanin in the skin. By lowering the power settings we can even treat patients with dark skin successfully.
  
  
• Q: What are the benefits of Laser and Light Hair Removal?
  A: They do not cause the irritation that other hair removal methods may cause. Larger areas may be treated at one time than with electrolysis, waxing or tweezing. They combine the speed of shaving with the lasting results promised by electrolysis. They are effective on almost any area of the body where smoother, younger, hair-free skin is desired.
  
  
• Q: How are these treatments different from electrolysis?
  A: Electrolysis is a much slower process. With electrolysis, a needle is actually inserted into each hair follicle, one at a time. Once inserted, and electric shock burns the follicle to retard hair growth. Our advanced laser and light systems use cool light to scan the treatment area; and within minutes all of the hairs in the laser beam are treated. Most patients who have had both say that treatment with lasers and light systems are less painful, faster and more convenient.
  
  
  
• Q: What are the treatments like?
  A: Laser and Light Hair Removal are both gentle processes. The area is scanned with the laser or light handpiece. The light energy passes through the skin and is absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicle. The light Energy vaporizes the carbon particles in the follicle, disabling hair growth. Treatments can last from a few minutes to a few hours depending on the size of the area being treated.
