Laser Genesis Med Spa: Best Skin Care Clinic In Mississauga
Laser Hair Removal
Smooth, hair free skin. Methods of laser hair removal have been proven to be highly effective.
Even so, numerous methods of removing unwanted facial or body hair have been used for centuries.
Tweezing, waxing, sugaring, shaving or even use of pumic stones are some of the temporary options that have been available.
Electrolysis, lasers and the next generation of hair removal services such as Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) systems provide a more permanent method of hair reduction using laser treatment or similar methods to render skin hair free and virtually permanently.
Electrolysis is a painful and time consuming process and may be only suitable for certain smaller facial areas like the upper lip, chin etc.
There is a better way but before you decide, let us provide you with additional information.
Laser Hair Removal Methods and Techniques
Though experiments for hair epilation with lasers were performed in mid 1970’s the commercial use became more popular and acceptable in 1990’s.
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) through technically not a laser provides safe and effective treatments for unwanted hair on all skin types and hair color ranging from blonde to black.
The process of permanent hair reduction is very simple but most effective when used by an experienced and educated technician.
The target chromophore for this process is melanin (dark pigment that gives the hair its color) in the hair follicle.
After preparing the area, an entirely safe wavelength of light is pulsed or administered to the skin which is absorbed by the melanin. This light energy which is absorbed is converted into heat energy which destroys the hair follicle.
Because our hair grows in different cycles at any particular time, only a small percentage of hair follicles have enough pigments to be destroyed.
Multiple treatments are required to see significant hair removal. Depending on the individual hair growth and the area to be treated, the time in between the treatment varies from five to twelve weeks.
At Laser Genesis we use “Palomar Starlux”, one of the most powerful and versatile FDA approved platform for hair removal and esthetic treatments.
Advanced contact cooling, photon recycling and larger spot sizes make for the most comfortable and fast treatments. Full legs or a man’s back can be treated in as little as 30 minutes.
Intense Pulsed Light treatments are very effective for reduction of Pseudo folliculitis (ingrown hair) in all skin types. Improvement can be seen even after the first treatment.
