Finally, Comfortable Hair Removal

One warm day can fool us into thinking that summer is here. It's not quite the time for sleeveless shirts and bare legs, but it will be soon. Wouldn't it be great to be hairless for the summertime? A series of laser hair reduction treatments will eliminate the need to shave so you can look and feel smooth and carefree all year long.

Dull razors can cause a myriad of skin issues that can be a literal pain. Shaving causes ingrown hairs, razor burn and even some forms of folliculitis, even with a sharp razor.

Folliculitis can be a very irritating and painful rash that develops from shaving. The hair follicle becomes inflamed and can become infected. Excess hair can also make a person feel self-conscious. Hairy backs, chins, ears, upper lips, and even hairy toes can all be lasered away with minimal discomfort and no downtime.

Older hair removal methods were uncomfortable, but the Palomar Icon laser has the reputation of being one of the most comfortable hair removal lasers on the market today. The Palomar Icon laser is a smooth-motion method that makes having your very sensitive areas lasered faster and easier. Also, the treatments on larger areas such as legs goes very quickly. This means less time in the office and more time to enjoy your new carefree, hair-free days.

In order for the hair removal process to be successful, there are a few things to remember. First, it is very important to realize you will need a series of treatments spaced out from 4 to 8 weeks, depending on the body part. Each person's hair grows at a different rate and responds to the laser differently. This means that each person will have varying results with each treatment. Some people will need fewer treatments and some may need more.

It is recommended that you avoid any type of natural or artificial sun exposure during treatments. This is so that the energy on the laser can be set at maximum for the most effective treatments. Following the guidelines given to you by your laser technician will ensure optimal results.

Avoid the potential for uncomfortable conditions caused by shaving and the self-conscious situations that excess hair can put you in. Getting started today can mean that you will have a carefree, hair free summer.
