Shaving every day is a pain and takes a toll on your skin. Not only is it time-consuming, but you may not get all the hair with a razor, which is a problem during bikini season. With winter winding down, it's time to consider laser hair removal.
At Breast, Body, Beauty Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery in Atlanta, Georgia, Dr. Aisha Baron and our team provide cosmetic and surgical treatments to improve your body, including laser hair removal. Dr. Baron utilizes the Viora IPL (V-IPL) Hair Removal system to provide excellent, smooth skin just in time for summer.
Laser hair removal is an excellent and efficient treatment for removing hair from various body areas. It utilizes laser light that soaks into your hair follicles and is absorbed by your hair's pigment. The laser light turns to heat, which damages the follicle and prevents future growth.
V-IPL uses intense pulsed light to target just hair follicles, preventing damage to the tissue around the treatment area. It's virtually painless and produces outstanding results.
It's essential to understand that the laser only affects hair that's actively growing; you’ll need multiple treatments to get hair follicles in different growth stages.
Laser hair removal isn't permanent, but it does provide the benefits of shaving less often and lighter and finer hair when it does grow back. Most people need maintenance sessions to keep up with their results.
The laser hair removal process doesn't work overnight, so coming in for a consultation immediately for summer results is crucial. The amount of treatments you require depends on various factors, including:
Dr. Baron assesses your hair and skin type to determine where to start with your laser treatments.
It’s important to start your treatments soon because the hairs don't immediately fall out. They shed over the weeks after the first treatment. Because your hairs grow in different stages, it may take a few months to get the desired results.
The number of treatments you need depends on the area treated and your hair and skin type. The stage of hair growth also determines the need for multiple treatments.
Everyone needs multiple treatments to achieve long-term results. For optimal results, most people require at least two treatments and as many as six. Dr. Baron evaluates your specific goals and needs to determine how many sessions you require to achieve smooth skin just in time for the beach or pool.
