Shaving. Waxing. Tweezing. Repeat.
If you’re tired of spending time managing unwanted hair, you may have considered laser hair removal.
Laser hair removal is a popular aesthetic treatment because it can provide long-term reduction in unwanted hair, reducing the need for constant shaving or waxing.
But successful treatment isn’t simply about purchasing a laser and treating an area.
Laser hair removal uses concentrated light energy to target structures associated with the hair follicle.
Because hair grows in different phases, multiple treatments are generally needed rather than one single appointment.
The number of treatments varies according to factors such as:
This is one reason an individualized treatment plan matters.
It’s more accurate to describe laser hair removal as long-term hair reduction rather than promising that every hair will permanently disappear.
Some people experience significant reduction, while others may require maintenance treatments.
Hormonal changes can also influence hair growth over time.
Depending on the technology and clinical evaluation, laser hair removal can be used for many areas, including:
Your provider should determine whether your hair and skin characteristics are appropriate for treatment. You can see every area we treat on our laser hair removal page.
Everyone experiences treatment differently.
Most people describe laser hair removal as a snapping, warming or pinching sensation. Here at Naples Laser & Skin Aesthetics, we use the Alma Soprano Titanium, which combines three laser wavelengths in a single applicator with a cooling head. With the appropriate settings, most clients find treatment very comfortable.
Modern laser systems may incorporate cooling technology to improve comfort.
Your provider should discuss what you can realistically expect before beginning treatment.
One of the most important preparation steps is avoiding methods that remove the hair from the follicle, such as waxing, tweezing or depilatory creams, for an appropriate period before treatment.
Your provider will give you specific instructions based on the laser being used and your treatment area.
You should also disclose:
Laser treatment is not one-size-fits-all.
Skin tone, hair characteristics and the treatment area all matter when selecting appropriate treatment parameters.
That is why a consultation should happen before simply putting a patient on a generic treatment setting.
Florida clients also have an additional consideration: sun exposure.
Your treatment schedule and sun-protection routine matter.
If you’re considering laser hair removal in Naples, FL, start with a consultation rather than purchasing a package before your skin and hair characteristics have been evaluated. Once your plan is set, ask about our laser hair removal memberships.
The number varies from person to person. Hair growth cycle, hair color, thickness, skin characteristics and hormones can all influence treatment response.
Laser hair removal generally works best when there is sufficient pigment in the hair to absorb the laser energy. Your provider can determine whether your hair is a good candidate. For light, gray or white hair, electrolysis may be a better option, since it doesn’t rely on pigment.
Absolutely. Men commonly seek treatment for areas such as the back, chest, neck and shoulders, as well as other areas.
Certain laser technologies and settings can be used for different skin tones, but the appropriate device and treatment parameters must be selected carefully. The Alma Soprano Titanium is designed to treat a wide range of skin tones, and your provider will choose settings for your skin at your consultation.
