Tips for Getting the Best laser Hair Removal Treatments

Laser Hair Removal has become extremely popular and mainstream over the past decade. However, not all laser hair removal treatments or locations performing them are the same. There are many different types of lasers, factors, and technician training that go into getting a successful laser hair removal treatment. After managing a Medical Spa for 9 years-Winter Park laser & Anti-Aging Center in Orlando here are our top tips for finding a great place to give you successful laser hair removal treatments. Tip #1: Reputation is key-Always do your research on the company by doing an internet search to find online reviews, suggestions and check with your local Better Business Bureau. You can also look up how long they have been in business, what location they are found in and make sure that the person performing the service is licensed. A recommendation from a friend is always a great idea! Tip #2: Ask what technology/machine is being used on you and research that machine. We use the Palomar Starlux 500 and get great results. Pulsed light lasers can be just as effective as long as they are strong like Palomar. You want to ask how old the equipment is and if it has been serviced. Also, if you don’t feel it-it’s not working! Tip #3: Ask them who performs the treatment & if you will be with the same person every-time. Having the same experienced technician can make a difference because they know what settings they used on there and get used to your body and how you react. Also, at a franchise you will often get a different person every time as they have higher turn over this can often be someone inexperienced or not used to treating your body. Tip #4: Make sure you are a good candidate. If you are a blonde or redhead make sure that they have a handpiece especially for lighter hair or ask them to honestly tell you what type of result you can expect. If you have dark skin make sure they specialize in treating skin of color and hand a laser safe for dark skin, you can also ask them to perform a test spot on you to make sure you don’t have a negative reaction.

Top 3 Laser Hair Removal Benefits for Men

Laser Hair Removal began to become commercialized in the early 1990s. Since then laser hair removal has become more popular and main stream than every before with access and affordability to laser hair removal. However, it hasn't been until recently that men have started to show a bigger interest in laser hair removal. At our Medical Spa in Orlando-Winter Park Laser we have always had some male clients for laser hair removal but in the past 2 years we have seen an increase of at least 20-30% in male laser hair removal clients. There are many benefits to men to have laser hair removal and we wanted to share a few as we feel more men should experience the joys of laser hair removal. A little background on how laser hair removal works: Laser hair removal works by directing concentrated pulses of light to a group of hair follicles, using enough power to disable or destroy the root responsible for hair growth without harming the surrounding skin. It requires an average of 6-7 treatments to give you amazing results. Treatments are once every 4-7 weeks as hair growth cycles differ on various body parts and requires no down-time. Here are the Top 3 Benefits of Laser Hair Removal for Men: #1 No more embarrassing ingrown hairs (folliculitis) that many men suffer from when shaving their beard area-especially dark skinned men. Laser hair removal thins out 15-25% of the hair every treatment, which means ingrowns shouldn't occur anymore after as little as 2-3 treatments. #2 More time: Laser Hair Removal frees up a lot of time when men don't have to take the time to shave their face & neck every day or every couple of days. Laser hair removal gives back all of that time when shaving is no longer a chore. #3 Money Saved on Expensive Razors: Let's face it, razors, shaving cream or waxing is very expensive. Laser Hair removal can be a bigger cost up front but is a lot cheaper in the long run, no more $50 on razors & cream per month anymore!
