Free yourself from unwanted hair in Denver
Are you tired of constantly shaving and waxing unwanted hair from your body? Do you wish that you didn’t have to deal with the pain of waxing and the constant frustration of tweezing? If so, you should consider laser hair removal in Denver, which can help you achieve completely hair-free skin for life. If you’re embarrassed by excess body hair, this treatment is for you.
What is laser hair removal?
Laser hair removal is a simple, in-office procedure wherein we zap away the unwanted hair follicles from targeted regions of your body. We channel laser energy into specific target areas, such as the underarms or back, to destroy the unwanted hair-bearing follicles. This procedure can remove up to 95% of unwanted hair from a targeted area, helping you achieve smooth, hair-free skin for life. You don’t have to worry about shaving, waxing, and plucking anymore.
How does laser hair removal work?
Laser hair removal is a safe procedure wherein a laser device is moved against the parts of your body with unwanted hair. The pigment in your hair absorbs the laser energy, which is then converted into thermal energy, destroying the targeted hair follicle’s roots. Once the hair is destroyed at the root, it cannot grow again, ever. You need a series of five or six laser hair removal sessions to remove all the unwanted hair from one area.
Laser hair removal vs. other hair removal techniques
Laser hair removal is the only permanent hair removal technique available. Besides providing permanent results, laser hair removal is also more comfortable. Other hair removal techniques, such as shaving and waxing, produce temporary results, necessitating a lifetime of continuous hair removal. Shaving can also lead to razor burns. Laser hair removal, in comparison, is permanent, safe, consistent, and painless. After five to six sessions of laser hair removal in Denver, you can enjoy a lifetime of smooth, hair-free skin.
Laser hair removal offers these benefits:
- It’s a non-surgical and non-invasive treatment
- It’s completely painless and comfortable
- It saves you from constant waxing, shaving, and plucking
- It saves you from the possibility of razor burns
- It permanently removes unwanted hair from targeted regions
- It doesn’t involve harsh side effects or complications
- It doesn’t involve any downtime or recovery period
The need for multiple laser hair removal sessions
Different hair follicles grow at different times. The hair follicles on your body move through three stages — the growing phase (anagen), the regressing phase (catagen), and the resting phase (telogen). Laser hair removal is only effective on the hair follicles at the anagen phase when your hair is still connected to the roots.
Since only 20% of hair is actively growing at any point, you need multiple sessions to remove all the unwanted hair follicles. Most patients need a series of five or six laser hair removal sessions spaced a month apart to remove all the unwanted hair. After the complete series of laser hair removal sessions, you can remove up to 95% of the unwanted hair.
Post-treatment recovery and aftercare
Laser hair removal doesn’t involve any downtime, so you can resume your daily activities and work immediately. However, you should avoid direct sunlight, other skin treatments, exfoliants, makeup, perfume, and hot water for a few days after your treatment. You may experience mild redness and soreness in the treatment area, but that’s perfectly normal.
