Laser hair Removal: Reduce hair growth permanently

June 10th, 2010

Getting accurate and desirable hairs at every body part is not possible for every person. Sometimes there may be some unwanted hairs on certain body parts that one may want to permanently reduce. Having unnecessary hairs at any body part could be very irritating. Earlier, it was not possible to reduce the unwanted hairs. But now, with the advancement in technology and introduction of laser hair removal technology, it is really possible to permanently reduce hairs at a particular body part according to one’s desire. This technique is getting popular day-by-day and is really helping people by reducing their unwanted hair growth permanently.

While applying laser hair removal technique, low energy laser is applied by the doctors to that skin area of the patient where his hair follicles are located. Intense pulsating light (IPL) is sent down the hairs and then, the follicle is burnt. One has to go several treatments in order to avoid the growing back of hairs. Many-a-times, the hairs grow back just because of the carelessness caused by those patients who are undergoing the treatment. The maintenance treatments must be taken by the patients every year in order to avoid hairs growing back. Melanin is that compound which gives out hair and skins its colour. Thus, in this technology, melanin is targeted. The follicle directed laser destroys it. Earlier red hairs were considered untreatable. But, now they can easily be treated. The skin and the hair colour of the patient have to be examined while checking out his suitability for the laser hair removal technique. For patients having dark skin and light hairs, undergoing such technique is difficult since the laser is not able to properly distinguish between the hair and skin in those cases. But, for those with light skin and darker hair, undergoing this technique is very easy. Different kinds of combinations used for different skin and hair combinations are:

Ruby: This is an outdated hair removal method. It’s had certain side effects like harsh burning or color changes for those people who did not have white skin.

Alexandrite: This is very effective treatment. But, unfortunately this treatment is appropriate only for the patient’s having fair skin.

Pulsed Diode Array: This is nearly related to infra red light which is growing the skin kind to a medium colored skin.

Ned YAG laser: This treatment is appropriate for all skin colors but it does not have any confirmation which could establish that this treatment has lifelong effects.

This technology definitely reduces the hair growth to a great extent. Moreover, the whole procedure is very simple, fast and reasonable. The duration of the whole procedure is dependent on the size of the area to be treated. This technique is more suitable than other hair removal methods like waxing, etc. The number of sittings required by a patient depends upon the size of the area to be treated. The patient should not pluck the hairs from the treated area for some suggested period of time.

Doctors Dissect How to Choose the Best Medical Spa for Laser Hair Removal

January 24th, 2010

ANAHEIM, California (January 23, 2010): A recent report in Aesthetic Medical News showed that clients looking for cosmetic procedures, such as laser hair removal, are becoming more adamant about appropriate professional credentials. The trend is expected to continue throughout 2010, according to the research conducted by the International Association for Physicians in Aesthetic Medicine. Jeff Russell, Executive Director of IAPAM, told Aesthetic Medical News, “The results clearly indicate that most women are concerned about their safety when choosing aesthetic procedures.”

The medical spa business is booming, with more and more clinics opening up in Orange County, CA and across the country that offer laser hair removal procedures However, the multitude of options leaves many clients in a quandary, wondering which spa will meet their needs best. Today’s savvy consumer needs to be educated in what to look for in a medical spa and the laser hair removal it provides to ensure optimal results. This includes evaluating a medical spa and the professionals who work there for experience, credentials, and high safety and success ratings.
Short of asking for statistical research, consumers have other avenues to explore when determining the safety of a medical spa and the effectiveness of the laser hair removal it provides. First, find out if the medical spa is truly operated by a doctor. Dr. Farid Mostamand of Focus Medical Spa warns clients, “While some spas hire a doctor to work as the ‘medical director’ of the facility, that medical professional may have no involvement in the daily operations of the spa or even know what type of tool they use for laser hair removal. It is critical that the doctor is actively part of the medical spa and its treatments.”
Clients can also ask how long the spa has been in business and who typically performs the laser hair removal procedures. If an RN does the majority of the treatments, ask what training the nurses have in laser procedures and if a doctor oversees the treatment protocol. Medical spas like Focus Medical Spa in Orange County, CA use experienced RNs to perform laser hair removal under physician supervision. The spa is owned and operated by a doctor who has performed thousands of laser hair removal treatments.
Another important consideration when choosing a medical spa in Orange County, CA is the type of laser used for hair removal treatments. Lumenise, which is the laser Focus Medical Spa uses, is the only laser machine that is FDA approved for laser hair removal. Clients should never choose a medical spa that offers a lower price because it likely utilizes an inferior machine for its treatments – which means that patients will need more laser hair removal sessions to achieve desired results. Additional treatments can raise the cost significantly in the long run.
About Focus Medical Spa: Focus Medical Spa has been serving clients in Orange County, CA, for more than six years and provides the highest quality laser hair removal treatments. Procedures completed in this facility are performed by highly trained nurses and overseen by doctors experienced in the field of aesthetic medicine.
