Looking for the best laser hair removal in Boca Raton? We don’t blame you – as hair removal is one of the most annoying things both women and even some men have to deal with! When the weather heats up and shorts, tank tops, and sundresses take over your wardrobe, and the beach and pool become almost-everyday affairs, it’s nonsense to have to constantly worry about shaving your legs, bikini area, and underarms before heading out the door.
Ladies, wouldn’t you agree?
If you’re looking for the best laser hair removal in Boca and its surrounding area, you’ve come to the right dermatologist in Deerfield Beach.
At Green Dermatology & Cosmetic Center, a premier medical and cosmetic dermatology center near Boca, Dr. Green and his team have the right equipment to bring you that hair-free skin you’re looking for.
Say goodbye to those pesky bumps, nicks, burns you get from shaving, tweezing and waxing — and the annoyance of even having to repeatedly go through with the act in the first place — and hello to smooth, touchable skin that no longer requires the maintenance needed every single time you have plans for the beach, pool, boat or any other summer activity.
Laser hair removal is a popular treatment for patients of Green Dermatology & Cosmetic Center. In fact, it’s the number one requested energy-based aesthetic treatment, according to Dr. Green. Women as young as 12-years-old use laser hair removal on a regular basis, and there has been an increase in laser hair removal for men over the years as well, in areas such as the chest and back.
So how exactly does laser hair removal work?
It is a technique that uses beams of highly concentrated light to penetrate hair follicles, which is then absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicle and destroys it. Laser hair removal can be used on the face, legs, arms, underarms, bikini line and basically any area where there is unwanted hair. When summertime rolls around, and especially here in South Florida where it’s almost always bathing suit season, the underarms and bikini line seem to be the most requested areas to treat.
There is a specific wavelength used in the laser beam that passes through the skin to each individual hair follicle. It also allows for the performance of multiple procedures on the same client during the same visit. The Cynosure Icon laser performs more efficiently and more comfortably than other aesthetic laser treatments and targets larger spot sizes to deliver energy faster and bring on greater results.
If laser hair removal is on your radar, there are a few crucial things you need to know before “going under the beam”. First, limit any plucking, waxing or electrolysis for six weeks before your treatment; however, it is okay to shave ahead of time; in fact, it is required.
Most treatments require 6 sessions. After laser hair removal, expect there to be a little bit of redness in the areas treated for a couple of days — almost as though you are sunburn. A cool compress or moisturizer is helpful. Expect the hair treated to fall out over the course of the next month, and we advise wearing sunscreen to keep your skin safe.
