At Carolinas Faces, we offer laser hair removal to permanently remove unwanted hair from virtually any part of the body. We use the GentleMax Pro® from Candela™ to remove hair safely and comfortably.
We offer single sessions as well as packages of 7 sessions. While the number of sessions can vary, the average amount is between 7 and 10 sessions.
During your consultation, your aesthetician will discuss your goals for treatment and assess the areas to be treated. The beauty of our GentleMax Pro is that it works well on all skin tones as it utilizes both Nd:YAG and Alexandrite wavelengths. If you have unwanted body hair, contact our office in Charlotte, NC, to see how our cosmetic surgeon can help.
What Is Laser Hair Removal?
This treatment is safe and effective for all skin types. When done by a licensed professional, the risk of side effects is reduced. Laser hair removal requires no downtime after the appointment. However, avoiding sun exposure and wearing SPF 30 or higher is recommended after treatment.
It is nonsurgical, noninvasive, and we ensure you feel comfortable throughout the laser treatment. This treatment has a high level of precision, eliminating the risk of damaging the surrounding skin. With predictable results and quick treatment times, laser hair removal has helped men and women achieve smoother skin and eliminate unwanted facial hair. If you are tired of tweezing, waxing, or shaving, we highly recommend having our specialists safely laser away unwanted hair for smooth, longer lasting results.
Which Is Better: Laser Hair Removal or Waxing?
Many people claim laser hair removal is more comfortable than traditional hair removal methods, such as waxing or tweezing. Laser removal can also prevent ingrown hairs, which is a common problem following shaving or waxing. This is because the laser completely destroys the hair follicle, eliminating the risk of painful ingrown hairs. Results from laser treatment last longer than waxing.
How Laser Hair Removal Works
This hair removal method uses a concentrated beam of light from a laser to remove hair. The light is absorbed by pigment, or melanin, in the hair. The light energy damages the hair follicles, which stops current hair growth and inhibits future growth. Lasers are attracted to pigment and are most effective when removing dark hair.
Multiple initial laser treatments are necessary for smoother results or on larger areas. Laser hair removal does not always permanently remove the hair. Over time, the hair may re-grow. Maintenance treatments are ideal for longer results.
Why See a Cosmetic Specialist?
At-home lasers can be purchased, but they are not as powerful or efficient as professional lasers. Home treatment may be uneven, and if a laser is not used correctly, you could damage the skin. See the professionals at Carolinas Faces for optimum results, safe treatment, and to ensure the targeted areas are treated evenly.
