If you hate shaving, are tired of putting up with painful waxing, tweezing, or depilatory creams, we have a better answer! All of the time spent removing unwanted facial or body hair can be avoided with laser hair removal. Getting rid of unwanted hair can be painful and time consuming. Until now, the only options for removing unwanted hair were tedious and temporary. Laser hair removal offers a much better approach.
During laser hair removal, a concentrated beam of light is aimed at the hair. The light is absorbed by the pigment in the hair, which damages the follicle enough to retard future growth.
In order to achieve the maximum hair reduction results, multiple procedures are required. Lasers rely on the darker hair strands to serve as targets. Hair that is actively growing provides a pathway to the root of the follicle. Only about 20 percent of hair is in this phase at any point in time, thus a minimum of five treatments are needed to provide 80 to 90 percent permanent hair reduction depending on skin type and hair color. The procedures are done six to eight weeks apart. Unfortunately, red, blonde, and grey hairs lack the pigment necessary to absorb the laser.
At Dermacure Medial Aesthetics of Valencia we use the Cutera CoolGlide Laser for hair removal. This laser treats men and women of all skin types and tones from light to dark including tanned patients. As the name implies, the CoolGlide handpiece cools and soothes as it glides along your skin. Its unique design, longer wavelength, and innovative cooling technology allow extremely effective and safe results.
Call Dermacure of Valencia today for a complimentary consultation. All hair removal is done by our registered nurse with 10 years of laser hair removal experience or by Dr. Ingber himself. As well, both of them employ the Zimmer Cooler during treatment to further ease any discomfort and protect the skin.
