Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal has been around since 1997. The surgeon will use a hand-held laser that puts out a pulse of light that’s specially designed to damage hair follicles without damaging skin tissue.

Hair removal lasers are FDA approved and a safe way to inhibit hair growth on the body. The newer class of lasers, such as the ones used by Dr. Rojina Jasani are better tolerated than many of the older technologies.

Most people liken the pain factor to a small rubber band being snapped against the skin. They can feel it a little bit, but it’s completely bearable.

Laser hair removal is not “zapping” a body part with a wand – it requires intimate knowledge of the human body to do it right.

This is why getting the procedure done in the safe and clean environment at Elite Women’s Health and Rejuvenation office is strongly recommended. Only a trained laser specialist should perform this procedure for the best chances of success.

You should avoid sun exposure for six weeks before treatment. Exposure to the sun makes the procedure less effective, and the possibility for complications is much higher.

Patients should also stop waxing and plucking six weeks before the treatment as well. The lasers target the roots of the hair, and if they are removed before the treatment date, it will render it ineffective.

Most people can go back to their normal daily activities after the procedure. However, it’s strongly recommended that they limit their exposure to the sun for up to six weeks after the treatment.

Some people might experience small side effects such as:

• Tingling or numbness
• Swelling
• Redness (up to 3 days)
• Itching
• Slight discomfort

The GentleMax Pro laser has been designed to maximize patient satisfaction. GentleMax Pro is a dual wavelength laser platform that combines a fast and powerful 755nm Alexandrite laser with an equally powerful 1064nm Nd:YAG laser for high performance treatment capabilities. This means it provides a faster, more effective treatment.

The laser itself can treat numerous hair follicles at once, thereby speeding up the treatment significantly. While many patients will find that improvement will be seen soon after beginning the treatments, it can take several sessions for some people to see a significant reduction in hair.

Both men and women. The vast majority of women seek to remove underarm, leg, and private part areas whereas the men want to get back and neck hair removed.

When the FDA first approved laser hair removal, it only worked on people with light skin and dark hair. As time went by, new technologies emerged, and now laser hair removal works on people with all skin types and hair colors.
