Summer is in full swing here in Florida, and that means plenty of time spent outdoors. Whether you head to the beach or just enjoy a stroll, you’ll probably be baring some skin. Before wearing shorts or a swimsuit, you might feel like you need to shave or wax to prepare.
If that sounds familiar, consider laser hair removal. This treatment helps you enjoy the summer months with less stress. A personalized laser hair removal treatment plan can leave your skin smooth and hair-free all summer.
We offer this treatment here at Rejuvenation For Her in Weston, Florida. Rejuvenation For Her , provides laser hair removal to patients ready to more easily enjoy themselves during the warm months. Oftentimes, those patients report that they wish they hadn’t waited so long to get treatment.
Rejuvenation For Her uses a specialized laser to target and destroy hair follicles. The laser sends heat into the follicle, which the darker pigment of your hair absorbs. This heat slows hair regrowth and, in some people, prevents it altogether.
Because the laser is precise, it can be applied virtually anywhere you have unwanted hair growth, including your:
You’ll shed the treated hair in the weeks that follow. Hair grows in different phases and the laser is most effective on actively growing hair(Anagen phase ). Therefore, repeated sessions to target this phase is recommended for effective treatment and smooth skin.
Most people achieve their desired outcome with 8 to 12 treatments, each spaced about 4-7 weeks apart.
To prepare for laser hair removal, avoid waxing or tweezing the area for four weeks beforehand. You can keep shaving to feel summer-ready. Avoid the sun and tanning lotion leading up to your treatment. The more contrast between your skin and hair, the better the laser works.
The actual treatment can take as little as five minutes for smaller areas like your upper lip, or over an hour for larger areas like your legs. You’ll feel a rubber band like snapping sensation as the laser goes to work.
Treatments are easily adjustable to your tolerance. There’s no downtime after laser hair removal, but the treatment does make your skin more sun-sensitive. Use sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 on any treated areas before you head outdoors.
Some people get permanent results with laser hair removal. Others require touch-up treatments, which Rejuvenation For her can provide. Either way, you’ll be able to enjoy smooth skin without needing to shave, wax, or tweeze.
