When it comes to removing unwanted hair from your legs, arms, armpits, chest or back, it can be a time-consuming process.
If you have always used creams or shaving as your method of removal, busy schedules and hectic lifestyles can prevent you from taking the time every 1-2 weeks. Our laser hair removal treatment in Orlando has become a popular alternative because it delays the growth of hair over long periods of time, making the hair removal seem permanent.
This laser treatment is a fantastic option for individuals who want to deal with hair removal on a much more infrequent basis.
Call us NowDuring your laser hair removal treatment at our office in Orlando, a high-powered laser with a concentrated amount of energy (light) will be pointed at the treatment area. The melanin (pigment) in your skin will absorb the light that the laser emits, which will be converted into heat.
The heat causes damage to your hair follicles, which inhibits and delays further growth.
Your laser hair removal treatment is performed under the direct supervision of one of our dermatologists in Orlando, who is a physician who specializes in the treatment and management of skin and hair diseases, conditions, and problems.
Our physicians will diagnose and provide you with a consultation on how best to remove your excess hair and explain which method will give you the best results.
The effectiveness of the treatment is dependent on the targeted area.
For instance, areas that have thin skin and thinner hair will respond better to treatment (armpits and bikini lines), whereas places with thicker hair, like your chest or legs, will require multiple treatment sessions.
You can expect a 10-20% reduction in hair visibility with your first treatment.
Contact Us NowBoth a dermatologist and a laser technician will be present during your laser hair removal consultation at our Orlando office to discuss your medical history, including any instances of disease, abnormal scarring, history of cold sores, or outbreaks to the treatment area.
Previous hair removal methods will also be discussed and tattoos, moles, tan, hair color, thickness of hair, and hair type will all be assessed.
In order to minimize risks and complications, you will be asked to follow a set of pre-treatment guidelines.
These may include any of the following.
After your first laser hair removal procedure in Orlando, it is recommended that you apply ice to the affected area and continue using SPF 30+ sunscreen. Ideally, avoid direct sunlight exposure for a few weeks afterward.
Book a Consultation TodayWhile there are minimal risks associated with our Orlando laser hair removal treatment, some complications may arise if pre- and post-treatment guidelines are not followed or if your hair color does not have enough contrast against your skin.
If you require a more aggressive treatment plan, there may be a higher risk of blistering and scarring.
Current risks include:
These side effects typically disappear within a few hours of treatment.
Skin discoloration or pigmentation, including the lightening or darkening of the skin in treatment areas, which may or may not be permanent.
This side effect is more likely to occur if you do not avoid sun exposure after treatment or if you have a darker tone skin type.
You may also experience pain or swelling directly around your hair follicles with redness that lasts for a few days after treatment.
Freckles or tattoos may lighten with treatment.
While uncommon, some individuals may get blistering, acne outbreaks, or bacterial infections.
