North Carolina Laser hair removal directory information
Laser hair removal is offered at a wide variety of North Carolina cosmetic medical practices, including North Carolina medical spas, North Carolina dermatologists, and North Carolina plastic surgeons.
In North Carolina, laser hair removal clinics typically offer and price the procedure in a package of treatments, because the procedure is only effective in a series. There is currently no single-treatment method for laser removal of hair. Because every person's growth pattern is unique, the amount of treatments will vary. Some hair removal lasers can treat all skin types and hair colors, although blond and gray hair tends to be the most difficult to eliminate.
How does laser hair removal work?
Laser hair removal treatment involves the delivery of laser energy through the skin to the hair follicle beneath, where the energy is absorbed by the hair and transformed into heat. This process destroys the hair follicle, preventing new hair from growing.
Most laser hair removal devices are designed to target dark colors. The best candidates for permanent laser hair removal are those with very light skin and dark hair. Those with darker skin will benefit less because the darker pigment in the skin will absorb some of the laser light energy.
Side effects of laser hair removal can include blistering, changes in pigmentation, mild swelling, redness, and scarring.
Does laser hair removal hurt?
Some of the lasers on the market today vary greatly and may or may not use a cooling device. A cooling device will increase the comfort level of the procedure by preventing the upper layers of skin from getting too hot while effectively treating the follicle below.
How many treatments of laser hair removal are required?
Most patients require a cycle of four to eight treatments over a period of months. Even after completing treatment, it is possible to experience some scattered regrowth. The remaining hair may be removed by electrolysis or can be maintained conventionally with waxing or shaving.
Tips for consumers in North Carolina considering laser hair removal
1. The practice of professional hair removal is generally regulated by North Carolina state and local authorities. Check your state's guidelines for specifics.
2. If a topical anesthetic is required for treatment, discuss the circumstances under which the cream should be used, and verify whether the use is appropriate in your situation.
3. Verify that your provider is licensed and trained to provide laser hair removal.
4. Patients, especially those with darker skin tones, should carefully research the device to be used and be certain that the technology has been tested and proven safe and effective for your skin type.
