Laser Hair Removal in Flushing, MI
Are you tired of unwanted hair? You can take control of it. Dr. Vijay Naraparaju and the team at Flushing Wellness & Aesthetics in Flushing, MI, offer laser hair removal that can help you achieve the smooth skin you long for.
What Is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is a great alternative to shaving and waxing. It can result in permanent hair removal – at minimum, a significant reduction in unwanted hair. And it provides these results without the bumps, stubble, and various irritations that razors and wax treatments create.
How Does It Work?
Laser light is directed at the treatment area. The pulses of light detect the melanin or pigmentation of the hair follicles. This destroys the roots, resulting in a significant reduction in unwanted hair.
Am I a Good Candidate?
Laser hair treatments can be a great option for almost anyone, regardless of skin tone, skin type, or hair color. However, the treatment tends to be more effective on darker hair, as the technology can detect dark hair better.
It is important to note that some skin issues, such as scarring, and hearing issues might affect your candidacy. Open sores and infections can also prevent you from receiving the treatment.
Is It Painful?
Laser hair treatments typically do not cause pain. However, you might feel a tingling or prickly sensation during your session, especially in areas where the skin is thinner, such as the bikini line.
Is It Permanent?
Permanent results cannot be guaranteed, but the results have proven to last much longer than shaving or waxing. In some cases, they last for months. In others, they can last for years. Generally, though, if hair does grow back, it doesn’t grow back as thick, leaving you with much less hair to deal with. And you can always return for additional treatment.
How Many Treatments Will I Need Initially?
It depends on the area being treated. Generally, small treatment areas with little hair can take as few as two treatments. Larger areas or areas with thicker or more hair can take about six treatment sessions.
How Long Do Treatments Take?
It depends greatly on the size of the treatment area. Small areas can take just minutes. Larger or several areas can take over an hour. You can get a better time estimate during your consultation with Dr. Naraparaju and the team at Flushing Wellness & Aesthetics in Flushing, MI.
