Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal is a popular cosmetic treatment that uses concentrated beams of light, or lasers, to target and miniaturize the hair follicles in the skin. The process of laser hair removal at Lenzy Dermatology involves using a handheld device that emits pulses of laser energy onto the surface of the skin where hair growth is undesirable. This energy is absorbed by the melanin pigment in each hair shaft, causing it to heat up and eventually decrease the size of the hair follicle and its ability to regrow hair.
Treatment
The procedure can be performed on almost any part of the body, including the face, arms, legs, underarms, bikini area, and more. The length of the treatment depends on the size of the treatment area, but most sessions take less than an hour to complete. Multiple treatments may be required over several weeks or months in order to achieve optimal results.
Laser hair removal is generally considered safe and effective, but because there are certain risks and side effects to be aware of, such as skin irritation, blistering, scarring, or discoloration, It's important to choose a qualified and experienced dermatological provider who understands your skin type and will discuss all the potential risks and benefits with you before performing the procedure.
