Unwanted Hair? Try Laser Hair Removal!

Unwanted Hair?

Tired of shaving, waxing or tweezing? Maybe you have unwanted hair in a difficult-to-reach or large area. Laser hair removal, one of the most common cosmetic treatments in the U.S., might be an excellent solution for you.

The process involves beaming a highly concentrated laser light in a series of pulses at the base of your unwanted, dark and usually course, hair follicles. The light is absorbed by the melanin pigment in the follicle, which results in heat that denatures and changes the proteins responsible for hair growth. A small area can take minutes while a larger area may take an hour.

It takes several treatments to remove the hair. Other factors contribute to achieving permanent results including genetics and lifestyle. Everyone is different, and at Reflections, we will work carefully and diligently to determine what will be most effective for you.

Six weeks before treatment, you’ll want to avoid sun exposure as well as waxing, tweezing or electrolysis. Avoid the sun for six weeks after as well. The procedure may cause some discomfort, but it is not painful nor will it harm your skin. Remember, laser light seeks out dark areas for absorption, so sorry blondies. While you may have more fun, as the saying goes, laser hair removal will not work for you.

Because laser hair removal is a medical procedure, it’s important to choose a practitioner, such as our own Janet Robbins, who is highly trained and experienced. What’s more, her ultimate goal is your comfort and happiness with the results. In addition, Reflections Laser & Wellness Center was named one of the 2017 best laser hair removal companies in the West Palm Beach area by Expertise, a research and professionals resource company.

So get ready for smooth, marvelous and sexier skin. You’ll see the difference. You’ll love the difference.
