Laser Hair Removal
No longer do you need to shave or wax!
Laser hair removal is an FDA approved treatment for permanent
hair reduction, is fast, easy and
requires no down time. Diamante utilizes Candella GentleLase Plus, which is recognized as the
most reliable and safe laser on the market.
Most patients need an average of 4 to 6 treatments to achieve the desired results. Each treatment
decreases the size of the affected follicles, gradually making the hair fibrous and baby fine,
and eventually eliminating most hairs.
Laser hair removal works by sending a beam of laser light to a group of hair follicles with enough
power to disable or destroy the root, but not enough power to harm the surrounding skin. This process
is called
selective photothermolysis. It is selective because it targets only the hair and not the
skin. Photo means light and thermolysis means destroying with heat. The surrounding skin is usually
cooled. Some methods include a gel, a spray, or a cooling tip.
The Laser beam finds the hair follicles by targeting the substance that gives skin and hair dark
color - melanin. Therefore, the ideal candidate for laser has dark hair and light skin. The laser
will not work on people with red, white, gray or true blond hair. The hot laser light will also be
attracted to the melanin in the skin, so people with suntans, or dark skin types are at more of a
risk for discoloration of pigment and other side effects.
Waxing
Waxing is the most effective method of
removing unwanted hair in both large and small areas. Hair can
be removed with a minimum amount of discomfort. There are two types of waxing techniques. The first
and most common method is
warm waxing. The second method is
cold waxing. Cold waxing is the method
that most people use at home. Cold wax can be bought at any drugstore and it usually comes in tubes.
The directions on the package are easy to follow.
Warm waxing is more effective then cold waxing and
is the type of
hair removal that we perform in this salon. Any hair baring area can be waxed including
the mustache, chin, eyebrows, legs and bikini line.
