Shed unwanted hair, gain a new lease on life! The many benefits of laser treatment
We intimately understand how excess or unwanted hair can affect your sense of self and well-being. Our White Onyx Medical Weight Loss & Aesthetics team in Gardner, Massachusetts, also appreciates that it can be tough to keep up with hair regrowth. With traditional measures, such as shaving and waxing, it always seems like hair grows back almost immediately afterward. It is our great joy to offer you a treatment that can transform both your appearance and the rest of your life: laser hair removal.
How is laser hair removal so transformative?
Let us count the ways! First, today’s lasers are appropriate for many hair and skin types. Second, they are tolerated much better than earlier-generation lasers or other methods, such as electrolysis. Third, technological advancements make treatments incredibly efficient – more hairs can be treated in less time. And the best part? You really can get permanent hair reduction or removal. So, you can wave goodbye to all the time, pain, expense, mess, and hassle associated with razors, waxes, depilatory creams, and other fruitless efforts to stay ahead of hair regrowth.
How does it work?
One of our qualified and experienced providers first directs the laser toward the follicles at the treatment site. Since our Italian-made Cervello laser contains built-in cooling, treatment is largely comfortable, and the risk of excess heat and damage to the skin is minimized. The laser works by targeting the follicles through where the hair grows. The treated follicles are then damaged, so hair no longer has the capacity to grow through them.
Will I need several treatments?
The total number of treatments depends on many factors, including the thickness and color of your hair and your goals (if you are seeking permanent hair reduction or full removal of the hair). Generally, more than one treatment is needed due to how hair grows. We must account for the cyclical nature of hair growth when scheduling ongoing treatment sessions. Treatments may also be conveniently and affordably “bundled.” We’re happy to discuss packages that are right for you during a visit.
Can the laser treat anywhere?
Yes – even delicate areas such as the eyebrows and upper lip! Other areas we have successfully treated include the chin, back, shoulders, chest, abdomen, arms, hands, bikini region, legs, and feet.
Is there anything special that I need to do throughout treatment?
We can advise on both pre-treatment and after-care. Certain steps, such as avoiding tanning and shaving in the treatment area in the days leading up to your appointment, can help ensure the laser works effectively and as designed. Following our suggestions also helps to minimize any risks, such as pigmentation problems or scarring. Let’s start the process today!
