LASER HAIR REMOVAL

What Is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is a revolutionary technology offered at Ayana Dermatology & Aesthetics. This non-surgical treatment utilizes concentrated beams of light to target and disable hair follicles, significantly reducing hair growth for extended periods.

How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?

KeraVive scalp treatment

Laser hair removal works by targeting the melanin in the hair follicle without harming the surrounding skin. This targeted approach is precise and effective, making it a preferred method for long-term hair reduction. It’s most effective on individuals with dark hair and light skin because the laser targets the contrast in color to remove the hair.

Who Can Have Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is a versatile treatment suitable for a wide range of individuals seeking smoother, hair-free skin. Here are some ideal candidates:

  • Individuals with unwanted hair: This treatment addresses unwanted hair growth on various areas, including the face (upper lip, chin), legs, arms, underarms, and bikini line.
  • Those with coarse or dark hair: Laser hair removal is most effective on hair with high melanin content, meaning darker and coarser hairs respond best.
  • People prone to ingrown hairs: Laser hair removal can be a game-changer for those who frequently battle the discomfort and irritation of ingrown hairs.

Who Shouldn’t Have Laser Hair Removal?

While laser hair removal boasts impressive results, it’s not suitable for everyone. Here are some factors to consider:

  • Individuals with very light hair or blonde hair: Due to the lower melanin content, laser treatments might be less effective on these hair types.
  • People with active tans or sunburns: Sunlight exposure can increase the risk of complications, so it’s best to wait for a tan to fade before treatment.
  • Those with certain skin conditions: Certain skin conditions like active eczema or psoriasis may require consultation with a dermatologist before proceeding.

Benefits of Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal goes beyond achieving smooth skin; it offers a multitude of benefits:

  • Long-lasting results: Experience significant hair reduction for months, even years, after completing the recommended treatment sessions.
  • Reduced ingrown hairs: Say goodbye to the pain and irritation of ingrown hairs, a common concern for many.
  • Precision targeting: Laser technology targets specific areas, minimizing the risk of impacting the surrounding skin.
  • Faster treatment times: Modern laser systems provide efficient treatment sessions, making it easier to fit into your busy schedule.
  • Improved confidence: Achieve smoother, hair-free skin and boost your confidence in any outfit.

How to Prepare for Laser Hair Removal

Preparing for laser hair removal is straightforward:

  • Refrain from plucking, waxing, and undergoing electrolysis for six weeks before your treatment.
  • Stay out of the sun for six weeks before and after treatment to avoid complications and enhance the effectiveness of the laser treatment.

Post-Treatment Care: How to Maintain Your Smooth Skin

Following your laser hair removal session, proper aftercare is essential:

  • Avoid sun exposure and use sunscreen daily with SPF 30 or higher.
  • Apply a gentle moisturizer to soothe the treated area.
  • Avoid hot showers, baths, or saunas for 24-48 hours.
  • Wear loose-fitting clothing made from breathable fabrics.
  • If any irritation persists, contact your dermatologist.

My experience at Ayana has been nothing short of amazing! I came to Dr. Levi for hair loss, and she took the time to really listen to me and discussed all treatment options with me in detail. Not only do I feel cared for by everyone at the office, but I have also seen significant improvement in my hair growth using Dr. Levi's medical advice and treatment approach. Go to Ayana if you want results and the best care in South FL!

I am from Miami Beach and now live in Orlando. I am frequently in Fort Lauderdale because that is where my kids live. I have been to many dermatologists over the years. Dr. Levi is by far the best dermatologist I have ever seen. Her attention to detail is incredible. She is highly intelligent and is great at communicating what is going on. I can't put into words how great of a doctor she is. highly recommend her!

Frequently asked questions

Laser hair removal typically results in a significant, permanent reduction in hair growth but may require maintenance treatments.

Modern laser technology offers a more comfortable experience compared to earlier systems.  The sensation during treatment is often described as a slight pinprick or warmth.  A cooling device may also be used to enhance comfort.

Yes, shaving the day before or just before treatment is recommended as it leaves the hair shaft below the surface but removes hair above the skin which could result in surface skin damage from burnt hairs.

Some results are immediate, while the full results are generally visible after two to three weeks, as the hair falls out gradually.

Stopping early may lead to less satisfactory results, as complete hair removal typically requires multiple sessions to capture all hair growth phases.
