Are You A Good Candidate For Laser Hair Removal Jacksonville?

By:


Laser hair removal works by passing a gentle beam of light through the skin to the hair follicle, where it is absorbed. The laser energy then is transformed into heat, destroying the hair follicle but leaving the surrounding skin unaffected. Because they're designed to target melanin (dark pigment) so as to differentiate between hair and skin, lasers are effective only on darker hair and work best on coarse hair. Light, white and gray hairs are difficult for the lasers to see because they lack pigment. Also, the lasers can affect dark skin, causing discoloration. So, the best candidates have light complexions and dark, coarse hair.

For laser hair removal, Jacksonville's Garcia Institute uses the Candela, GentleLase alexandrite laser with Dynamic Cooling Device, which offers the fastest and most comfortable treatment available today. However, those with a low tolerance for pain may feel some discomfort throughout a laser hair removal treatment. Most patients describe the sensation as that of a rubber band popping against your skin and say that the feeling is more intense in some areas than in others. Some patients take a mild, over-the-counter pain reliever or spray their skin with an anesthetic numbing spray in the hours before their procedures. We strongly suggest that you talk with your doctor before taking any pain-management steps, as some medications and topical skin creams or sprays can affect the laser's efficacy.

Another consideration before undergoing laser hair removal in Jacksonville is your time and cost commitment. Laser hair removal isn't a one-time deal. Most patients require six to eight treatments to see and maintain significant difference. And occasional maintenance treatments are necessary after your full treatment round. For many local patients seeking laser hair removal, Jacksonville can be a tough market. That's because the area's beautiful, warm climate makes heading to the beach irresistible. But tanning can interfere. That's why the cooler months are great for Jacksonville laser hair removal.
