Laser Hair Removal
If you struggle with removing unwanted hair, you’re not alone. Many find it difficult to keep up with the time-consuming, ineffective hair removal treatments that they’ve performed their whole lives in the hopes of maintaining a hairless body. But hair removal doesn’t need to be so challenging. In case that you’re an avid waxer, you know that you must visit the salon every 4-6 weeks–undergo the distressing process of waxing, just to attain a short-lived silky smooth skin. Perhaps, you should contemplate about having some of that unwanted hair removed on a less painful and more permanent basis. Laser hair removal is a very effective method that could help in reducing follicular growth. The interesting fact is, the follicular growth could be dropped down to 80% after the final treatment. Meaning to say, in case that your hair returns, it will be more thinner– almost semi-transparent. The hair is eliminated to the point that any additional growth of hair wouldn’t be that noticeable. If it’s necessary, you can request for supplementary treatments or touch-ups to polish the end result. Being familiar with how the process works will help you to discover the ideal medical spa near you. A place that is fully equipped with the most up-to-date hair removal technology.
Determine The Skin and Hair Type Before Laser Treatment
Before anything else, the skin and hair type of the patients should be taken into account. Skin types contribute to the quantity of melanin or pigment in the skin layers. In which individuals who are fair-skinned (extremely light skin), that reacts very easily with sunlight is regarded as either skin type I or II. On the other hand, olive colored complexions belong to skin types III or IV, and the very dark complexion could be categorized as skin types V and VI. Hair thickness is essential as well. The hair removal laser generates a particular wavelength which could only be absorbed by a a specific type of pigment. Very dark hair that is often thick indicates there’s a good amount of pigment that could effectively absorb the light of the laser. Once the pigment assimilates the light, the hair follicle would be eradicated. The main advantage of using a laser with the recommended wavelength and penetration is, only the hair follicle is affected not the surrounding tissue. Although, improper pairing of the laser and setting that is not applicable to the patient’s skin and hair type could result to burns, hyper, or hypo pigmentation.
The Number of laser hair removal treatments Needed
A lot of people wonder why there are 6-8 sessions recommended to complete the laser hair removal treatment. The reason behind that is, hair follicles develop in stages. Wherein the immature hair follicle is farthest from the skin’s surface–these follicles aren’t destroyed by the laser. As the follicle grows, it starts to move on to the surface. With this, the early follicle becomes very vulnerable. To wrap it all up, only visible follicles could be eradicated by the laser and it takes 6-8 cycles to insure that the treatment would be successful.

Brazilian laser hair removal
Years ago, there may have been a stigma attached to removing all hair from one’s pubic region, but that concept has since faded. Aesthetics are a major reason for choosing the Brazilian style, but guests often choose it for the sense of optimal personal hygiene as well. People of all ages, professions, lifestyles and marital statuses seek Brazilian laser hair removal for the smooth, beautiful results they can experience. Women aren’t the only ones who enjoy a fresh, clean feeling every day. Some men opt to remove their pubic hair with laser hair removal because of its effectiveness and long-lasting results. Manscaping is becoming less of a trend and more of a common grooming technique within the male population. At Ideal Image, we perform these treatments on a number of men and ensure their comfort levels throughout the process.
Forget waxing and shaving, think laser! If you’ve been thinking about getting a Brazilian, consider Brazilian laser hair removal over waxing or shaving for a more permanent solution. Brazilian laser hair removal at Ideal Image is and has been one of our most popular laser hair removal treatments over the years. Over the last 10, we’ve performed well over 4.5 million laser hair removal treatments nationwide, and we’re the only hair removal company in the country dedicated exclusively to laser hair removal, it’s all we do. Dating back as far as 4,000 BC the removal of body hair including the pubic area has been a custom of women. The removal of pubic hair by Western women became more common when bathing suits became abbreviated, starting in 1945. Changes in lingerie styles have also encouraged the removal of pubic hair throughout the years. Today’s models must wear garments of an extreme narrowness in both the front and back of the bikini area. Over the past decades the desire to remove more hair has made the Brazilian a very common place choice for women everywhere. Brazilian laser hair removal is a more permanent hair removal treatment for removing all or almost all pubic hair from the pubic region.
Once the hair has been removed it’s as if there was never any hair to begin with. These laser hair removal procedures are our most popular because many women love the idea of not having to worry about bikini bumps and ingrown hairs, and just love that fresh clean feeling every single day of the year. Not having to waste time every morning or repeatedly paying for temporary solutions like waxing are key reasons why Brazilian laser hair removal has become so popular with our guests. While a Brazilian can be a variety of different hair removal styles that remove almost all pubic hair from the pubic region, a full Brazilian removes it all, leaving no hair whatsoever. Choose to leave a neat strip, triangle, or no hair whatsoever… it’s completely your choice!

COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT LASER HAIR REMOVAL
Here are the most common questions we receive about Laser hair removal.
HOW DOES LASER LEG HAIR REMOVAL WORK ?
First the hair is destroyed from underneath the skin, and sheds out completely. Afterwards the pores in the skin close, leaving only smooth sexy skin. This is especially important for women who have darker course leg hair, which is still visible even after shaving. Finally, over time laser leg hair removal is more cost effective than waxing.
WHAT DOES IT FEEL LIKE ?
Everyone’s pain tolerance is different. Many people describe laser hair removal to feel like a rubber band snapping against the skin. Compared to waxing and other forms of hair removal, the treatment has very little discomfort. If you do find it uncomfortable, our healthcare professionals can prescribe a numbing cream for the skin.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN IPL AND A LASER ?
IPL stands for “intensed pulsed light” and is not a laser. While IPLs can be effective for some cosmetic procedures, our experience supports the more powerful, yet safer and faster use of the laser for a more permanent solution to hair removal.
WHAT IF I HAVE DARKER SKIN ? WILL LASER HAIR REMOVAL STILL BE EFFECTIVE ?
Yes The Alexandrite laser is often used on those with light skin and the YAG laser is best used on individuals with darker skin tones. Laser hair removal can be performed on virtually any skin color and hair type, but hair color is the most important factor. Our multiple types of lasers allow us great versatility for accommodating the wide variance in hair and skin color. Dark hair is treated most effectively while treatments performed on red, blonde, and gray hair are generally less effective. During your initial consultation, your skin type, hair color and skin sensitivity will help our staff determine which machine you’ll require. Both offer beautiful, smooth results that you’ll love.
WHAT ARE THE MOST POPULAR AREAS FOR LASER HAIR REMOVAL ?
The most popular areas for women are: legs, facial hair, bikini, and underarm hair and for men it is the back, chest and abs.
HOW LONG HAS LASER TECHNOLOGY BEEN IN USE ?
The laser was first used in medicine in 1961, nearly 50 years ago! Laser hair removal began about 15 years ago, but has advanced significantly in the past 8 – 10 years./accordion]
[accordion title="HOW IS LASER HAIR REMOVAL DIFFERENT FROM ELECTROLYSIS HAIR REMOVAL ?" opened="0" class_icon_closed="plus" class_icon_opened="minus" border="true"]Laser hair removal is much faster. Electrolysis hair removal requires more time because it’s a process that treats only one hair at a time, whereas laser hair removal treats many hairs per every laser pulse. Laser hair removal for an area like the underarms for example can be treated in only 20 minutes.
IS THE ALEXANDRITE LASER THE BEST CHOICE FOR MY SKIN AND HAIR ?
The Alexandrite laser is considered by many in the field of laser hair removal to be the gold standard laser. This is true if you have a lighter skin type. The Alexandrite laser uses a longer wavelength for penetration to the hair follicle and energy that is particularly attracted to melanin – the target for hair removal. However, if your skin is darkly pigmented you will get the best results with a laser specifically designed for your skin type – the YAG laser.
WHAT ARE THE RISKS OF HAIR REMOVAL?
Laser hair removal is a lunch time procedure. There is no recovery time. Patients can return to work or play immediately. These lasers do not remove skin, so the risks are very low. As with any procedure, we have an informed consent that explains all the possible risks.
HOW OLD DO YOU HAVE TO BE FOR LASER HAIR REMOVAL?
There really is no age limit, but we never treat toddlers. Young people that are not finished growing will develop new hair as they grow, and will require touch ups to maintain the results. We currently do not treat children under the age of 13. Older people usually have gray hair that will not respond to laser.
IS LASER HAIR REMOVAL PAINFUL?
People Usually compare it to a rubber band snapping against the skin. Compared to waxing, the treatment has very little discomfort. Everyone’s pain tolerance is different. If you do find it uncomfortable, we can prescribe a numbing cream for the skin.
WOULD LASER HAIR REMOVAL WORK FOR ME ? IS IT SAFE FOR ME SKIN ?
No matter how dark the skin, our Gentle YAG laser is considered the gold standard for treating unwanted hair on darker skin types. Its longer wavelength safely bypasses the skin and targets the melanin in the hair shaft, destroying the unwanted hair follicle. You will love your results!
SHOULD I BE WORRIED ABOUT LASER RADIATION ON MY SKIN?
No. There are two basic types of radiation, (1) Non-ionizing radiation, and (2) Ionizing radiation. Hair removal lasers produce “non-ionizing” radiation which is simply the radiation of light, and is FDA approved for your skin. Ionizing radiation which represents x-rays, ultra-violet and nuclear radiation is a completely different type of radiation, and is not produced by hair removal lasers.
