Laser Hair Removal
Both men and women often have excess hair on their bodies that can be unattractive and embarrassing. Many people use temporary methods such as waxing, shaving, plucking, and applying depilatory creams to get rid of the unwanted hair.
Quick Info
- Here at Beautologie, we provide the gold standard laser in permanent hair reduction known as Light Sheer Quattro™.
- The light sheer targets the follicle of the hair and permanently shuts it off.
- Unlike many laser devices for hair removal, the Quattro is very comfortable employing a patented vacuum assisted/cool tip technology to maximize patients comfort and experience.
- The Light Sheer Quattro™ can be used for virtually all skin types as it is one of the most sophisticated lasers for laser hair removal.
- After the procedure, patients can return to regular activity with sunscreen applied on exposed areas that have been treated with the laser.
- We can target all areas including facial hair, under arms, legs, back, full bikini, arms, and more.
Laser Hair Removal
Excess hair can be found on both male and females and for most, it can be unappealing and uncomfortable. Lasting for only a short while, many turn to the process of waxing, shaving, plucking and depilatory products to remove undesirable hair. Some even resort to tedious and agonizing methods, like electrolysis, as a long-lasting option. Beautologie Cosmetic Surgery & Medical Aesthetics offers new hair removal treatment options for patients from Bakersfield that are more convenient and effective. We offer laser hair removal using the powerful LightSheer® Diode laser system for smoother, more radiant skin, and less treatments to the desired results.
LightSheer® Diode Laser Technology for Hair Removal
A popular laser hair removal system worldwide, LightSheer® Diode laser technology provides safe, effective, and permanent hair removal for our patients. The LightSheer® laser system was the first to be approved for permanent hair removal by the FDA. The laser targets pigment in the hair and converts the energy into heat to destroy the hair follicle. The system is more effective than electrolysis — instead of treating one hair follicle at a time, the laser hair diode laser can treat hundreds of hair follicles at once. In addition, the LightSheer® Diode laser has a patented cool laser tip that helps to reduce discomfort experienced during treatment. It is no wonder that the LightSheer® Diode laser is trusted by many professionals around the world and is the laser hair removal system we rely on at our practices. The treatment takes less than an hour (for most areas), and can lead to significant hair reduction in a few treatments.
Laser Hair Removal Process
This treatment is an exceptional approach to permanently removing unwanted hair from the face, underarms, chest, hands, back, abdomen, bikini, feet and more! Hair follicles are targeted during the treatment and the power of the treatment is modified to the patient’s comfort.
Patients encounter limited to no discomfort during the treatment. The treatment is described as feeling like a tingling or slight stinging. Numbing is an option for delicate areas but is not essential most of the time. Some patients encounter slight redness resulting from the treatment but usually subsidies in a couple of hours and regular activity can be resumed after the laser hair removal treatment.
Laser Hair Removal Treatment Duration
The length of the treatment ranges from an hour to a minimal ten minutes which is all determined by the size of the area being treated. After the treatment, there is zero downtime. It is critical to keep in mind that several treatments may be necessary since laser hair removal is most effective when hair is in the active growth phase, and not all hairs are in the same phase at the same time. For optimal results, most people require four to six laser hair removal treatment sessions performed at one-month intervals. Please contact us to schedule a consultation for laser hair removal. At that time, Beautologie nurses or doctors will discuss with you how many treatments will be necessary for your specific needs.
Benefits of Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal offers a convenient and effective way to permanently eliminate unwanted hair and attain soft, radiant skin. Patients achieve long-lasting results, with no need to tweeze or shave on a regular basis. In addition, laser hair removal is less painful than waxing, electrolysis, and other hair-removal treatments. In addition to laser hair removal, Beautologie is also skilled in providing other laser treatments such as spider vein removal, skin resurfacing, and photodynamic acne therapy.
