Why is laser hair removal such a popular treatment? Because it offers the convenience of smooth skin that’s always ready to go. It eliminates problems like razor burn and painful waxing, and provides an ideal solution to those with excessive body hair.
While there are certainly countless ways to get rid of unwanted hair, very few of those methods can guarantee to reduce hair re-growth while also leaving the surrounding skin undamaged. Laser hair removal can guarantee just that. This treatment is an excellent alternative to shaving, waxing, and electrolysis, and can be done anywhere that’s needed—including the legs, face, back, arms, underarms, bikini area, and chest.
By absorbing the laser’s light energy into the pigment of the hair shaft, the temperature of the hair follicle is raised to a point where the cells that are responsible for hair re-growth are destroyed, and therefore lose their ability to grow hair.
Most patients have satisfactory hair reduction or loss after 3-7 appointments.
Laser hair removal in Chicago has never been more effective. Alma® Lasers has provided us with two exceptional devices for the most effective and virtually painless hair removal experience: the Harmony® XL and the Soprano® XL. Both of these remarkable devices harmlessly penetrate the epidermis and dermis to effectively reach the hair follicles and destroy the cells responsible for hair re-growth. The treatment results in little to no pain and leaves the area outside the hair follicle undamaged.
At Beautify at AMS in Chicago, laser hair removal is done using the most advanced lasers in the business. One of the lasers we use is the Soprano ICE XL, which makes treatment very comfortable. It’s called “ice” because of its cool tip technology. This tip feels like your skin is being iced with each pass of the laser, which greatly helps with treatment comfort.
This is probably the most common question that we’re asked about laser hair removal; however, there is no set answer.
Because every individual has different skin and hair, the number of sessions necessary to get the desired results will vary. Another factor to keep in mind is that hair grows in phases, which means that not all the hair follicles will be “ready” to be affected by the laser because some of them will be resting. For all the follicles to be affected, about 4-6 treatments are needed.
