Laser Hair Removal

Because every person has a different hair growth pattern and cycle, we never guarantee permanent hair removal. Most patients experience smooth, hair-free skin for several weeks in between treatment sessions, and for a year or more after all treatments are complete. The FDA claims that laser hair removal effectively reduces the amount of hair you have by about 70%. While it may not remove 100% of the hair forever, the hair that grows back is usually much finer, softer and less noticeable. If any hairs do resurface, a quick in-office maintenance treatment will target and destroy the new hair growth.

While laser treatment doesn’t always get rid of 100% of unwanted hair forever, it does drastically reduce hair growth. And because any new hair growth is much finer, softer and lighter, patients are generally very happy with their laser hair removal treatment results. Unlike waxing, the treatment is comfortable, and you never have to deal with growing out unwanted hair.

The cost of laser hair removal varies based on the specifics of each treatment plan. The number of treatment sessions required can affect the price, as can the number and size of the areas being treated.

The Splendor X, by beauty device superpower Lumenis, is the world’s first hybrid laser hair removal system using two wavelengths simultaneously, to quickly and effectively treat all types and colors of hair, on all skin tones. This device is the first to feature a square applicator, which accurately treats the entire area, without missing any follicles. This also allows us to treat larger areas much faster.

Electrolysis is the only treatment approved by the FDA for permanent laser hair removal. It is generally considered to be more painful than the latest laser technologies, and typically requires more treatment sessions. This process targets and completely destroys the hair follicle.

We ask that patients avoid any sun exposure to the area being treated for at least 30 days. If you can’t stay out of the sun, wear clothing or a hat to cover the treatment area, or a sunblock with an SPF of at least 30. Our laser technician will meet with you to examine your skin and assure the area is safe to treat. At your appointment please arrive with shaved skin. The procedure takes 15-30 minutes, depending on the treatment area size and number of areas being treated. There is zero downtime, and you can resume your regular activities immediately after your appointment.

Featuring two different laser wavelengths, the GentleMax Pro has a 755nm Alexandrite and 1064nm Nd:Yag laser. This allows us to select the best laser modality for you based on your skin tone, hair color, hair type, and area of the body that’s being treated. The GentlePro series of lasers from Candela is recognized as the leading and most comfortable laser technology in hair removal. Its patented cooling device makes the procedure virtually painless.

The GentleMax Pro Plus also offers 755nm Alexandrite and 1064nm Nd:Yag laser wavelengths. In comparison to the GentleMax Pro, it is faster, more versatile, stronger, and more efficient. It offers shorter laser pulse durations, more energy output, a faster repetition rate and larger treatment spot sizes. This makes laser hair removal for men and women up to 30% faster. Recovery time is quite short, and any redness or redness in the treatment area heals quickly.

The most effective lasers for hair removal are the Nd:YAG laser, the Alexandrite laser and the diode laser. These lasers target the pigment of hair follicles, causing eradication down to the bulb. Diode lasers have the added benefit of being able to treat darker skin and coarser hair, such as in the bikini area. Because each laser has unique benefits and performs best on different skin and hair types, it is important to consult with an experienced aesthetics expert before purchasing a laser hair removal treatment package.

We provide several safe and effective laser options for armpit laser hair removal in West Palm Beach and Jupiter. The delicate underarm area is actually very easy to treat – with a range of laser device options — because it doesn’t usually get much sun exposure. Depending on your hair type, hair color, skin type and natural skin tone, your laser technician will determine whether the GentleMax Pro, the GentleMax Pro Plus or Splendor X is best for you.
