Have You Tried Laser Hair Removal?

Maintaining your beauty regimen may at times seem like a part-time job. Between exfoliating, moisturizing, and testing out the latest in promising beauty trends, even small but necessary routines such as shaving can seem like a pain.
Fortunately, for many people, razors, gels, shaving cream, and the entire idea of shaving are now things of the past. And forget waxing or threading, too. It’s time for you to experience the remarkable results that can be achieved through laser hair removal. At Aesthetique Skin Rejuvenation & Laser Center, Christopher Tye M.D. and his expert staff are dedicated to providing patients with the cosmetic improvements they seek.
For Dr. Tye’s patients in Colleyville, Texas, laser hair removal has proven to be extremely beneficial for removing unwanted hair in various regions of the body. Excess body hair, Dr. Tye continues, is nothing to be embarrassed of, but it isn’t something that you have to hide or try to manage on your own anymore. At Aesthetique Skin Rejuvenation & Laser Center, patients can have hair permanently removed from:
- Arms
- Underarms
- Back
- Chest
- Bikini area
- Face
- Legs
If you’ve never had a laser hair removal treatment before, it is suggested that you meet with a professional provider to determine the results to expect. The effects of laser hair removal treatments vary from person to person. While it does not necessarily matter how much hair you have, Dr. Tye explains that the pigment of your hair does play a strong role, and optimal results are best achieved on people with darker hair. Therefore, those with blonde or gray hair should be advised of their expected results before choosing to move forward.
Prior to visiting Aesthetique Skin Rejuvenation & Laser Center or your local medical spa for your appointment, it is recommended that you avoid the sun for at least two weeks, shave the area the night before, and withhold from exfoliating or applying lotion. The treatment itself, Dr. Tye says, feels like a slight rubber band pop. Though most patients do not find the experience too uncomfortable, he says that a topical numbing agent is available to lessen any discomfort.
Most people will see complete results (meaning that the hair is completely removed) after four to six laser treatments that are performed three to six weeks apart, Dr. Tye says. Your exact schedule depends on the region of the body you are having hair removed from. Though some people are disheartened to learn that it will take more than one laser treatment to rid them of unwanted hair, Dr. Tye explains that hair grows in cycles. Therefore, multiple treatments are necessary to remove the hair in each cycle.
Once it has been determined that all of the hair has been removed from the desired area, Dr. Tye says that maintenance appointments are generally a good idea and should be conducted every six months to one year. Although regrowth is very minimal, you will want to eliminate any stray hairs that do start to reappear.
Imagine a life free of razor burn, stubble, and nicks. It’s attainable–and the solution is available at Aesthetique Skin Rejuvenation & Laser Center.
