Are You a Good Candidate for Laser Hair Removal?

Laser Hair Removal ProcedureThe traditional methods of removing hair—shaving, waxing, and plucking—may provide instant results, but they also present a number of challenges. They are very temporary and often painful for patients to tolerate. Laser removal of unwanted hair is the best way to get the longer-term results you’re looking for. Find out if you’re a good candidate for this laser hair removal, a popular cosmetic procedure that is available at Moss Dermatology in Forest Hills, NY.

Hair in Unwanted Places
Despite your constant efforts to remove hair from unwanted places, it just continues to grow back and sometimes thicker or faster than before. That is because as long as you have an active follicle under the skin, hair will continue to regenerate and grow again. Some undesirable places where hair grows persistently include the legs, arms, chin, neck, and back.

What Is Laser Hair Removal?
The goal of laser hair removal is to neutralize each hair follicle using a heating element to stop or slow the growth of hair in those unwanted places. A revolutionary tool called a LightSheer Diode Laser is available at Moss Dermatology in Forest Hills, NY. The dermatologist holds the laser wand over the targeted area and it delivers light energy into the skin, eliminating multiple hairs from their roots. This tool is designed to specifically focus on the pigment of the hair while leaving the rest of the skin unbothered. It also has a cooling technology that makes the procedure more comfortable.

You May Be a Good Candidate
Traditionally, the ideal candidate for most laser hair removal treatments is a patient who has very fair skin and dark hairs. The LightSheer Diode Laser treats a wider range of skin types and hair colors, making it a good option for many patients. This tool can also treat small spots of concentrated hair, or larger areas in a single pass. Expect minor after effects, such as skin redness for a short while after the appointment.
