Laser Hair Removal
Laser Hair Removal in Chicago, IL
Many people are often bothered by the appearance of excessive, unwanted facial or body hair. The laser hair removal procedure at GOLDCOAST medspa offers an effective, long-lasting solution for hair reduction with precision using laser technology. Laser hair removal is an FDA-approved, simple, and painless procedure that effectively removes unwanted hair growth by targeting the hair follicles without irritating or damaging the skin. Although laser hair removal can be performed on almost any body part with excessive hair growth, they are most commonly performed in spots like the face, upper lip, neck, chest, underarms, abdomen, back, bikini line, and legs.
Benefits of Laser Hair Removal
The laser hair removal method offers several benefits to removing unwanted hair from our body effectively.
- Precision: Lasers allow to selectively target dark, coarse hairs without irritating or damaging the surrounding skin.
- Speed: Laser hair removal is a relatively quick process. It is possible to treat small areas like the upper lip in less than a minute.
- Predictable Results: Most patients get effective permanent hair loss results after three to seven sessions.
How Laser Hair Removal Works?
Laser hair removal treatment offers the best results when there is a notable color difference between your skin and your hair. During the procedure, a hand-held laser instrument is pressed to the skin. When the laser is activated, the beam removes hair by precisely targeting the pigment present in the root of the hair follicle. When laser heat energy is emitted, the hair absorbs it, annihilates the follicles, and stops them from regrowing.
