Laser Hair Removal Benefits



Laser Hair Removal has been available to the public for nearly 20 years now yet so many men and women are still unaware of the benefits laser hair removal especially in comparison to other hair removal methods such as waxing, tweezing, or electrolysis. Laser hair removal has proven to be the safest and most effective treatment form of  hair removal available.
Many men and women  are uneducated about the facts and benefits of laser hair removal.  Just a few important things to know about laser hair removal are the following; it is now safe for all skin types with the appropriate lasers, blondes and red heads can be treated effectively with the correct laser for laser hair removal.  There are many benefits to laser hair removal other than just permanent hair reduction.
Laser Hair Removal benefits:
#1 It's Fast: New technology has allowed laser hair removal to become incredibly efficient. Treatments for small areas such as lip or chin can take only 5 minutes, and large areas like full legs or full back only take 30-40 minutes to complete and in less sessions-only 6-7 on average.
#2 Eliminate In-Grown Hairs (folliculitis): Laser hair removal destroys hair follicles and thins out hair so that hair follicles can no longer become clogged and cause in-grown hairs or folliculitis.
#3 More Personal Time: On average men spend a total of 35 days of their life shaving, and women spend an average of 72 days of their life shaving just their legs.  So in a nutshell laser hair removal can give you have 35-72 days of your life on average to spend doing more productive things with your time.
#4 It is the only permanent hair reduction method: Laser Hair Removal is 95% permanent which means that you might only have 5% regrowth caused by the follicle stimulating hormone and it should be as easy as a touch up once every 1--5 years on average.
#5 It Saves You Money: If you are waxing or shaving you are spending at least $50 per month on average for life for hair reduction.  Laser hair removal can be a little more of an investment in the beginning, but you only need 6-7 treatments on average and then you won't be spending money on hair removal on a monthly basis.

Frequently Asked Questions About Laser Hair Removal

Even though Laser Hair Removal has been available for over 2 decades there are still many questions about it.  After offering laser hair removal treatments at our medical spa; Winter Park Laser & Anti-Aging Center in Orlando for 10 years we have gathered the most frequently asked questions about laser hair removal.  Here are the questions and our expert answers.
Frequently asked questions about laser hair removal
#1: Is laser hair removal painful?
Expert Answer: This really depends on the laser being used.  It is important to find a newer laser technology that has a built in cooling system. This will make the treatment more comfortable and also prevent risk of burning.  Most laser hair removal treatments are relatively not painful.  The most sensitive area to treat is the bikini.  Most medical spas will also offer a topical numbing option which can make it a totally painless experience.
#2 Is laser hair removal permanent?
Expert Answer: There is permanent hair reduction.  After a series of laser hair removal sessions most clients will be 90-95% permanent.  What that means is that the hair removed is permanent, however every person has the follicle stimulating hormone in their body which can produce new hair.  It should be a very minimal amount but most people need a single touch up treatment once ever 1-5 years.
#3 Can you laser over ingrown hairs?
Expert Answer: Yes. Laser hair removal can not only be lasered over ingrown hairs but it is also very effective for eliminating ingrown hairs.  Typically ingrown hairs are eliminated by the second treatment because enough hair is thinned out enough so that hair follicle will not longer become trapped.  This is especially great for darker skin types who are prone to ingrown hairs.

Laser Hair Removal Benefits


Laser hair removal is a treatment that has not been available for nearly 2 decades but still seems like a "new concept" to a lot of women and men.  After giving consultations on laser hair removal at our Orlando medical spa Winter Park Laser & Anti-Aging Center I have found that there are many additional benefits to laser hair removal that many people still don't know about.  Here are laser hair removal benefits that I think everyone should be aware of and not just the obvious of shaving less.
Top laser hair removal benefits you didn't think about:
#1 Laser Hair Removal will eliminate ingrown hairs (folliculitis) on any area of the body. 
Folliculitis occurs when hair follicles get trapped and become infected.  Laser hair removal thins out the  hair by destroying fully developed hair follicles by 15-25% each treatment.  This means that the ingrown hairs should stop occurring within 1-3 treatments of laser hair removal.  This is extremely beneficial for darker skin types with thick coarse or curly hair that are more prone to ingrown hairs and folliculitis.
#2 Laser hair removal can lessen hyper-pigmentation (excess pigmented spots) scarring caused by ingrown hairs.
Laser hair removal looks for pigment in the hair follicle to destroy the follicles.  However, if there is excess pigmentation (hyper-pigmentation) on the area treated that was caused from ingrowns it will absorb the laser light and be destroyed.  So this is a huge benefit people don't realize.
#3 The time you will save.
Laser hair removal will give you back time to do more important things.  A recent survey said the average time a woman spends shaving her legs over a lifetime is 72 days!  Not to mention the time women spend driving to the waxing center and having a way every month for 50 years.  Laser hair removal is about a 6-9 month commitment out of a lifetime.

Benefits of Laser Hair Removal

Llaser Hair Removal Even though laser hair removal has been around for nearly 2 decades there are still those who are still shaving, waxing or tweezing because they are afraid or uneducated about laser hair removal. Laser Hair Removal is a much easier process than it's only other permanent hair removal predecessor: electrolysis. Electrolysis devices destroy the growth center of the hair with chemical or heat energy. After a very fine probe is inserted into each hair follicle the follicle is destroyed one at a time which can take over an hour for a small area & over 15-20 treatments. Laser Hair Removal is a much quicker and easier method. Top Benefits of Laser Hair Removal #1 It's Fast: New technology has allowed laser hair removal to become incredibly quick. Treatments for small areas such as lip or chin can take only 5 minutes, and large areas like full legs or full back only take 30-40 minutes. #2 Eliminate In-Grown Hair: Since you are reducing the number of hairs by 95% after 6-7 treatments, you also reduce the chances of getting an ingrown hair again by up to 95%. This can be especially beneficial for those with dark skin who are more prone to ingrown hairs due to thicker, coarser hair. #3 More Personal Time: As a result of not spending time on shaving, one can be given a great deal more of personal time to do other things. Also, you don't have to spend time waxing every month for life. #4 It Last Longer than any other hair removal method available & will save you money: Laser Hair Removal is 95% permanent meaning you should only need a quick touch-up once every 12-24 months. While it might be a small financial investment in the beginning it will inevitably cost less than waxing, and razors over time.

More Men Are Opting for Laser Hair Removal

Next to Botox injections laser hair removal is the second most common cosmetic procedure done here in the U.S. however although our medical spa has been open for 8 years, we have really seen a surge in male clientele for laser hair removal in the past 2 years-it is obviously becoming more socially acceptable through reality television and advertising in magazines, newspapers etc, also many more women are pushing husbands and boyfriends to treat their backs and bikini lines. Laser hair removal clients is now about 30-40% men.
As a medical spa we now try to offer specials for men and women so that men understand that these treatments are not gender biased-they are equally effective for men and women. Although men and women commonly want different areas treated with laser hair removal the reasons are the same- excess hair in embarrassing areas such as backs or shoulders, ingrown hairs causing unattractive bumps on the neck and beard area, or they are tired of shaving.

For many men the problem areas are the shoulders and back. The highly concentrated light from the laser is absorbed by the hair follicle and destroys it in the anagen cycle. While the dark hairs are destroyed, the skin around it remains unharmed

Typically the first treatment you have more hair follicles you are going to feel more of it because there's more to remove. Each treatment becomes more comfortable. Removing all of the hair typically takes 6-7 treatments 4-7 weeks apart and the sessions are 5-60 minutes depending on the size of the area. There is topical numbing available for those men with a low pain tolerance.
Cost of laser hair removal for men varies depending on the size of the area but starts as low as $85 per treatments. For more information go to www.winterparlaser.com

Laser Hair removal benefits for Medical Reasons

Laser hair removal is a cosmetic and a medical procedure that tends to make use of a laser or pulsed light system with- a pulsating beam of light absorbed by pigment in the hair follicle to rid one of undesirable hair on any area of the body. While many people have laser hair removal treatments because they are tired of waxing, tweezing and shaving, for others laser hair removal is a medical necessity.

Excessive hair conditions can be classified into 3 broad categories;

Hypertrichosis; this issue impacts both women and men. It is mostly excessive development of body hair in either abnormal or regular patterns. The problem might be hereditary, or might be as a outcome of medication, malnutrition, tumors, hormonal or metabolic difficulties.

Hirsuitism; this difficulty affects girls. It truly is the growth of excessive hair in female but in male pattern. This might contain mustache, beard or development of hair in the decrease abdomen. The problem may be as being a outcome of hormonal imbalance, hereditary, specified medications and even tumors.

Hormonal Imbalances such as Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome.

Laser hair removal offers a great long term solution by removing unwanted hair from the body and undesirable facial hair for women in six treatments on average which occur once every 4-6 weeks for treatments.

Unlike with tweezers, waxing, shaving along with depilatory creams, exactly where a single has to deal with hair return every four to eight days. Laser hair removal offers a reasonably long term hair removal. Like a matter of fact analysis has shown employing laser as proposed by authorities and using it far more regularly might lead to permanent hair removal.

In contrast to with other treatment techniques where irritation could be the order in the day, laser hair removal is the most effective method of treating ingrown hairs. It really is cost-free of irritation in addition to red bumps emanating from ingrown hairs. Always consult with a professional, experienced laser technician (CME) before starting treatments.

How many sessions for Laser Hair Removal & More Information

Laser hair removal has been around for 2 decades and is only increasing in popularity while it is a permanent solution-it does take a few months to complete the treatment. First of all you only want to have the procedure performed in a medically supervised facility by a licensed CME (certified medical electrologist) and you always want to know what type of equipment is being used. The Palomar IPL laser technology is one of the best and safest ways to remove hair.

In general is takes 6-7 treatments to remove 90-98% of the hair permanently with treatments being spaced once every 6-8 weeks on average except for facial hair which is every 4-6 weeks on average. For most effective outcomes, experts advise you go in for yearly maintenance treatment options (for at least 2 several years) this is usually only once a year and is due to the follicle stimulating hormone growing a couple of brand new hairs.
The best candidates are those with dark, thick hair. Especially those whose ethnic genetics are prone to excess hair such as Hispanics, Italians, Indians, and those from the middle East. Most facilities are able to eliminate hair from any area on your body but the most popular areas tend to be face, underarms, legs and bikini areas.

It is always a good idea to have a complimentary consultation with an expert to make sure you are a good candidate and what the best treatment plan for you will be.

Hair Removal For Men Makes them More Attractive?

Recent Surveys found that the #1 thing that can make men more attractive is hair removal, and that most women prefer the bareless beach body to hairy on men.
Over the past 8 years at Winter Park Laser we have found more and more men are having laser hair removal and the number one reason they site is that their girlfriend or wife wanted them to (or ingrown painful hairs).

Laser Hair Removal is a much more permanent, time saving and cost effective way to eliminate hair on men on the back, chest, beard, ears, bikini, arms or even the legs for some men than the old hair removal methods of electrolysis, waxing, or shaving.

Laser hair removal works by the pigment in the hair follicle absorbing the light, transferring it into heat and destroying the follicles fully developed in the Anagen Cycle. You will be down to shaving only once ever 2-4 weeks after 2-3 treatments, and will never shave again after about 7 treatments on average! Men are loving the results as are the women in their lives!

Winter Park Laser has been treating men with laser hair removal in Orlando for nearly 8 years.

How can laser hair removal treatments be most effective

The most frequently asked laser hair removal question asked is "Does it work"? at our medical spa in Orlando (Winter Park Laser). The answer is yes it does work but you have to be a good candidate-and unfortunately other medical spas have take the wrong candidates, weak settings or weak technology and given not so great results-therefore sometimes giving laser hair removal an unfair rapport. It has been and continues to be an amazing treatment for many people!

Many people want to embrace the idea of having unwanted hair removed once and for all, however laser hair removal costs can be very expensive to front in this poor economy. People want to know how effective it is for permanently removing nuisance hair on the legs, arms, bikini, face, chest, and back. Well, folks this is all dependent on many many factors such as the color of skin and hair being treated, what lasers are being used for the treatments, and the area that is being treated.

In the past temporary methods that have been available for hair removal such as painful waxing, plucking, and shaving left un-lasting results. Yes laser hair removal is an effective treatment to end the growth of the hair follicles in any place on your body. With minimal side effects, and impressive statistics of effectiveness. The cost of laser hair removal is actually significantly less over time than temporary hair removal solutions it also puts an end to ingrown hairs.

Laser Hair Removal is Most Effective When:

1.Good candidates: This type of hair removal tends to be most effective for hair removal when implemented on those people with dark hair that is darker than their skin tone (we treat all skin types). These are the clients who get the most for their money when paying in package rates. Most blonde, white or grey haired clients do not achieve the best results. Others may get fantastic results however they may also be required to attend a few more sessions in order to do so.

2.Good lasers are used: Laser hair removal technology changes all the time and is important that the technology is newer, has a built in cooling system and effective pulses. Palomar Medical is one of the leading makers of laser hair removal technology and was the first to patent it commercially.

3.The patient follows instructions: Before getting laser hair removal treatments the clinic will advise you to stop plucking, waxing, shaving. Avoid applying deodorants, perfumes, and lotions to the skin post treatment for 24 hours. They give you these directions for good reason as some of these actions can hinder the effectiveness of the laser treatments.
There are some cases where laser hair removal is more efficient in likely candidates, however with advances in laser technology the market has now tons of tactics to rid most hair types and skin types of unwanted hair although it may cost more or call for numerous extra sessions of treatments.
