Skin Type & Eligibility Info
Remedies for unwanted hair usually include shaving, waxing, tweezing,
electrolysis and depilatory use. Some are painful, others are messy, and
all
are just temporary solutions. Patients with light skin and dark hair are
ideal
candidates for laser hair removal. However, the use of longer wavelength
lasers and skin cooling devices have increased the safety of lasers used to
treat patients with darker skin types that, until now, have not been candidates
for laser hair removal. These skin cooling devices protect the upper layer of skin
in darker skinned patients from absorbing too much laser energy, thus reducing
the risk of blistering and pigment change. Whether you have light, medium, or dark
skin we can help you! Laserium Cosmedic is located in Plano and is convenient to
Frisco and Dallas as well.
In addition to a patient's skin color, their hair color can also determine the number of
treatments of laser hair removal. The pigment in dark hair readily absorbs laser energy,
making black or brown hair easier to treat (American
Academy of Demotology). However, laser hair removal can now work well
with blonde, brunette and red hair.

Description of Procedure
A laser gently cools the surface of the skin as pulses of light are selectively absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicles. Absorbed light damages the existing hair and destroys the re-growth potential of the follicle while protecting the surrounding tissue. The end result is permanent hair removal. The laser treatment lasts anywhere from a few minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the area being treated. Because the laser tends to treat hair follicles that are in an active growth phase, more than one treatment may be required to disable hair follicles entering this growth phase after the first treatment.
