Removing Yourself From Your Hair Problems
Where on my body can laser hair removal be performed?
Both men and women who wish to have laser hair removal can get it on almost any part of the body where they have hair including:
• The chin
• The chest
• The neck
• The legs
• The back
• The buttocks
• The upper lip
• The pubic area
• The shoulders
• Pubic area
• Under the arms
• The upper and lower arms
Is laser hair removal painful?
Laser hair removal provides less discomfort than waxing. It does cause some discomfort and the level depends on the individual. This procedure has been described as a rubber band snapping against the skin with the pulse of the light and does not last more than a second. We provide creams to help with any discomfort you may feel.
How does laser hair removal work?
Laser hair removal targets the hair follicle with light energy that heats it. This heat destroys the follicle’s ability to produce hair. Ideally, the surrounding tissue is unharmed because the laser only targets the follicle. However, traditional laser hair removal can cause discomfort and be less effective on individuals with dark skin. To correct this shortcoming, Utah Laser Hair Removal Surgeon Dr. Haupt uses Elos Technology by Syneron to perform this procedure. This technology makes laser hair removal more effective on all skin tones and hair types by only doing part of the work with light energy, and using radiofrequency energy to selectively target the follicle. Although it is still not effective on completely colorless hair, Elos technology has been shown to be more effective on light-colored hairs and in treating persons with darker skin.
Are there possible side effects to laser hair removal?
There is the possibility of side effects with any laser treatment. Some normal side effects include:
• Some itching during treatment
• Redness in the treated area lasting about 3 days
• Swelling around the follicle for about 3 days
If any of these side effects last longer than 3 days, please contact your laser hair removal surgeon for more information on how to treat the area.
There are rare side effects that may be caused by this procedure such as:
• Bruising
• Infection
• The forming of a scab on ingrown hairs
• Purple coloring of tanned areas of the skin
• Temporary pigment change of the treated area
