Unwanted hair on certain areas of the body can cause considerable discomfort or self-consciousness. If you’re unhappy with the unnecessary hair under your arms, on your legs, on your shoulders, or other parts of the body, you can zap them away with laser hair removal. LivingYoung Center provides the latest and safest laser hair removal techniques to remove unwanted hair from targeted regions on your body, helping you achieve permanently smooth, hair-free skin.
Achieve permanently smooth skin
No Shaving, Waxing, or Plucking
Dealing with unwanted hair can be challenging because most traditional hair removal methods are temporary at best. Shaving is the most temporary hair removal method, and it also leaves your skin vulnerable to razor burns. Waxing and plucking certainly produce longer-lasting results because the unwanted hair follicles are pulled out by the roots, but they’re also painful. Furthermore, despite the pain involved, you need a lifetime of regular maintenance. As such, shaving, waxing, and plucking aren’t suitable for long-term unwanted hair removal.
Permanent Hair Removal
Laser hair removal is the safest and most effective technique for the permanent removal of unwanted hair from targeted regions. Laser hair removal involves channeling highly-calibrated wavelengths of laser energy into the pigment in your hair follicles. The laser energy destroys the targeted hair’s roots, thus preventing future hair growth. Laser hair removal is a highly targeted solution to unwanted hair — you can permanently remove hair from the back, shoulder, underarms, or any other specific body parts.
Laser Hair Removal: Treatment Overview
Preparation
You must stop plucking or waxing your hair for at least six weeks before the laser hair removal session. That’s because the treatment works best on the hair follicles in the active growth phase. You should shave the treatment areas before the session, and you must remove all the makeup residue and products from your skin. Ideally, you should also avoid direct sunlight the day before the procedure.
Procedure
During the procedure, we use the cutting-edge Palomar StarLux laser device to channel quick bursts of laser energy into the treatment areas. The laser energy transforms into thermal energy to heat up the area and deactivate the hair follicles, thus preventing them from future hair growth. Palomar StarLux also involves cooling tips that protect your skin from damage, ensuring a comfortable experience. The treatment concludes within 30 to 60 minutes.
Aftercare
You may experience some mild post-treatment discomfort and side effects after your laser hair removal. You might experience mild redness, swelling, and discomfort for a few hours, following which the side effects will dissipate. You can resume your daily activities and work immediately. The unwanted hairs will eventually fall away, and the next growth of hair will be thinner. You may need multiple sessions to achieve completely hair-free skin.
