 Say goodbye to painful razors, waxing, and unpleasant hair-removal creams.
Laser
treatment for unwanted hair is a non-invasive approach to permanent
reduction and long-term hair removal. Treatment is specifically
designed to eliminate undesired hair from specific parts of the body;
safely eliminating hundreds of unwanted hair follicles instantly.
Unlike many other treatment methods, Laser Therapy leaves your skin
looking and feeling smoother and softer.
How does the treatment work?Preliminary setup requires
cleansing and shaving of the area to be treated. Without damaging the
surrounding skin, controlled pulses of highly concentrated light
penetrate the skin and are absorbed by the hair follicles. The heat
discourages and ultimately destroys the potential for hair re-growth.
Post-treatment procedures include cleansing of the treated area and
application of sun block. Large areas such as backs, shoulders,
abdomens, and legs can be quickly treated, while facial areas such as
the lip, chin, and beard can be treated in minutes.
What are the benefits?
- Safe for all skin types, including tanned skin
- FDA-approved for permanent hair reduction.
- No down time -- you can resume regular activities immediately.
- Minimal pain and discomfort compared to other treatment methods.
- Quick treatment of large areas.
- Low chance of scarring and pigmentation changes.
- Call Natural Trends at 972-398-9727 with any questions or concerns.
How many treatments are required?Because the laser only affects hair in the active growth phase, most areas require 3-6 treatments. The number of treatments required for optimal long-term benefits depends on multiple factors- hair thickness, the coarseness of the hair being treated, and the hair’s growth cycle. Not all hairs are actively growing at the same time. Since other hairs will enter this active growth phase at different times, additional treatments may be necessary to disable all of the hair follicles in a given area. During your complimentary consultation, you will be advised as to the approximate number of treatments that you may need.
Who are candidates for treatment?The Cutera Coolglide laser is the best laser hair removal system on the market for all skin types and tones, from light to dark skinned individuals from all ethnic backgrounds.
Is treatment painful?
As the name implies, the Coolglide handpiece cools and soothes as it glides along the skin. You may experience a mild pinching or stinging sensation as the pulse of light is delivered. No local anesthesia or pain medication is required.
Are there any side effects?Side effects are
rare. Blistering, soft scabbing, or redness sometimes occur at the
treatment site, but disappear within a few days. In certain cases, the
skin could become slightly lighter or slightly darker. You will be
informed during your consult if you are susceptible to these side
effects. You must limit your sun exposure for 2 to 4 weeks before and
after treatment. This will greatly minimize the risk of complications.
