Does Laser Hair Removal Really Work?
Jul 24, 2014
Are you plagued by excessive hair growth on areas like your face, arms, legs, and back? If so, you’ve likely tried everything from shaving and waxing, to plucking and applying removal creams. Unfortunately, these treatments only provide temporary results and do not provide an effective solution for excessive hair growth. To permanently eliminate the appearance of hair on certain regions of the body, men and women of all ages seek laser hair removal at Colorado Skin and Vein.
At our practice, we perform laser hair removal using a variety of lasers, including:
Each state-of-the-art laser is designed to target specific hair colors and skin tones in order to provide a custom treatment that is both the most effective and safest available.
One of the most advanced hair removal devices available, the Cynosure Elite laser uses cooling air to make treatment as comfortable as possible. The 755nm Alexandrite laser creates the most effective hair removal device on the market. This laser treats hair of all colors and is the best laser available for difficult to treat areas which have light or fine hair.
By combining gentle suction with light that recycles energy when it bounces off the skin, the LightSheer Duet laser uses approximately one third of the energy that other lasers typically use to perform treatment. This laser is fast and comfortable, it is best suited for larger areas and darker hair.
The 1064nm Nd:YAG laser transmits energy to the deepest tissues of the body, where it effectively treats dark hair. Because of its unique absorption properties and excellent safety profile, the 1064nm Nd:YAG laser is the only device that should be used on darker skin types.
