Laser Hair Removal in West Palm Beach, Florida
Are you tired of constantly shaving hair from unwanted areas, only to have it grow back? What if there was a hassle-free solution for hair removal with laser technology? With the safety and effectiveness of laser hair removal, you can eliminate time-consuming tasks and messy lotions, creams, and waxes.
At Palm Beach Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery, we use the Sciton Joule® Laser for laser hair removal. Sciton Joule® stands out from other hair removal methods due to its advanced technology and versatility. Unlike traditional laser hair removal treatments, Sciton Joule® offers multiple devices proven to safely and effectively reduce unwanted hair follicles on any part of the body.
Sciton Joule® aims a concentrated laser beam at the hair, which the pigment absorbs, damaging the hair follicle enough to stunt future growth. This highly concentrated light can remove the hair from anywhere on the body.
What Areas Can Be Treated with Laser Hair Removal?
Based on the patient’s needs and preferences, areas treated with laser hair removal include:
- Upper lip
- Chin
- Neck
- Legs
- Underarms
- Arms
- Bikini area
You can remove unwanted hair from just about any area of the body causing concern or embarrassment.
Who is a Good Candidate for Laser Hair Removal Treatments?
Laser hair removal is a popular option for individuals seeking to reduce or eliminate unwanted hair. While it can be effective for many people, laser hair removal works best on individuals with dark, coarse hair and lighter skin tones. The laser targets the pigment in the hair follicles, and darker hair absorbs more of the laser energy, leading to better results. However, advancements in technology have made laser hair removal accessible to a wider range of patients, regardless of their hair and skin color.
In addition, individuals considering laser hair removal should be in good overall health, as certain health conditions, medications, or skin conditions may affect the suitability of the treatment.
Moreover, patients should have realistic expectations about the laser treatment. Laser hair removal typically requires multiple sessions to achieve desired results. Why? Hair grows in cycles, and the laser can only target actively growing hairs — not future hair growth. Therefore, patience and commitment to the treatment process are necessary.
Finally, candidates should be willing to avoid sun exposure and tanning beds before and after treatment sessions because tanned or sunburned skin can increase the risk of complications.
What Can I Expect Before My Laser Hair Removal Treatment?
Before your laser hair removal treatment, you will have a consultation with our patient counselor, where we’ll assess your skin type, hair color, and medical history to determine if you’re a suitable candidate for laser hair removal. We’ll also discuss your goals and expectations and answer any questions you may have.
Prior to your laser hair removal session, we’ll provide you with some important guidelines, including avoiding sun exposure, tanning beds, and certain skincare products for a specified period before treatment. It’s crucial to follow these instructions to achieve significant hair reduction and minimize potential risks.
How Does a Laser Hair Removal Procedure Work?
On the day of your laser hair removal session, our plastic surgery team will make you feel comfortable and relaxed, and we will give you protective eyewear to shield your eyes during the laser hair removal procedure.
Laser hair removal uses advanced technology to target and destroy hair follicles. Our state-of-the-art equipment delivers precise pulses of laser light to the treatment area, effectively reducing unwanted hair. You may experience a mild sensation, often described as a rubber band snap or a slight tingling feeling.
What Can I Expect After My Laser Treatment?
After your laser hair removal session, you may experience temporary discomfort or mild sensitivity or redness in the treated area. We’ll give you specific aftercare instructions, which may include avoiding sun exposure and using recommended skincare products, to enable proper healing and maximize results.
Over the following weeks and months, you’ll notice a gradual reduction in hair growth in the treated area. While individual results may vary, many of our patients achieve long-lasting hair reduction, making laser hair removal a convenient and effective solution.
How Many Laser Hair Removal Sessions Do I Need?
Laser hair removal typically requires multiple sessions to account for future hair growth because hair grows in cycles. The exact number of treatments needed varies depending on hair thickness, skin type, and the treatment area. During your consultation, we’ll design a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
Laser Hair Removal Costs
Laser hair removal cost varies from patient to patient. Because most insurance providers consider laser hair removal treatments elective, it’s generally an out of pocket expense. However, Palm Beach Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery offers financing options via CareCredit®. We also accept cash, personal checks, and major credit cards.
How Often Can I Get Laser Hair Removal Treatments?
At Palm Beach Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery, the frequency of laser hair removal treatments depends on various factors such as the treatment area, hair growth cycle, and individual needs. During your consultation with our patient counselor, we will create a personalized treatment plan for you, including recommendations on the frequency of sessions.
In general, most patients need multiple treatments to achieve significant hair reduction. Most often, we schedule these sessions approximately 6-8 weeks apart to target actively growing hair follicles during each session and ensure the effective reduction of unwanted hair.
