!!40% off!! Leg Laser Hair Removal and Leg Vein Removal

Sources now report that Laser hair removal has become the second most popular cosmetic procedure in the United States. Laser hair removal has been touted as the most significant breakthrough in permanent hair removal, with the most technologically advanced strides being made over the past 5 – 7 years. Even though technology keeps advancing and results continue to improve, the barrier to entry remains low, especially in major metropolitan areas such as Boston, Providence, and those surrounding suburbs.. With so many Laser Hair procedures being done on a frequent basis, it has become a mainstream procedure.

What is Laser Hair Removal?

The most frequent question that is asked when someone walks through the door is “What is Laser Hair Removal”. Laser Hair removal can never remove hair with complete 100% removal. Laser Hair removal’s primary objective is technically reducing the amount of visible hair on about 90% of the treated area. The laser works essentially by instantaneously targeting the hair follicle and damaging it from being able to grow again. The tricky part of laser hair removal is targeting the hair shaft without damaging the pigment of the skin. Since not all hair follicles are growing at the same time, several treatments are needed to cover the entire area In the best candidates, 6-10 treatments will usually achieve 80-90% clearance.

What technology is available for Laser Hair Removal in Boston?

Currently, there are numerous ways to remove hair – including various laser technologies or even the use of Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment.

The most popular types of laser light that are currently used for hair removal include:

Ø Alexandrite - such as the Candela GentleLase Plus.

Ø Diode - such as the Coherent Light Sheer.

Ø Ruby - such as the EpiTouch or the Epilaser.

Ø ND, and LP ND Yag- such as the Candela GentleYag and the Altus Cool Glide.

These are all effective, fast, comfortable and safe for permanent hair removal, however, hey all have different results based on numerous factors, including the candidate and their pigmentation.

IPL treatment can also help remove unwanted hair, but due to less consistent results, Viva Skin Care does not offer this option and prefers utilizing laser technology.

At Viva Skin Care, we use the latest technology that provides the safest treatments combined with the most effective laser technology. Viva currently utilizes the Candela 755 Alexandrite laser or the Gentlelase, 1064 GentleYag, depending on the subject and the treatable area. Skin pigmentation and sensitivity to laser treatment will determine the technology best to use.

 

Where can I get my hair removed in the Boston area?

In the Boston area, there are several types of facilities that offer laser hair removal. The choices for the consumer are numerous. These options range from full service medical practices to the simple day spa that is not medically guided or consulted. Someone thinking about removing their hair via advanced laser technology must consider many factors. It is important to remember that this is still a medical procedure using state of the art laser technology - It is not merely a simple spa treatment. Having a supervising physician on staff ensures that treatments are done properly in accordance with medical guidelines. It is interesting to note that laser manufacturers do not sell lasers to non-physicians.
