I have been an aesthetician/ laser clinician at Derma Health Institute for over three years and in the industry for over six. My specialty at Derma Health Institute is laser hair removal. I understand exactly how the laser is working, what it is doing to your hair and skin, and I can explain to you so that you too will understand and feel like you are in good hands.
I feel that having had 99% client satisfaction (my patients always complete a survey), I can successfully treat your hairs at the right growth cycle, so you can start to see your reduction quickly. Everyone in our clinic and I believe in safety first and Derma Health Institute and all its laser clinicians have an immaculate safety record. I have done hundreds of treatments on clients and had numerous treatments done on myself, and I know exactly what types of skin/ hair response to look for to know that you are getting an effective treatment. I will set realistic expectations for each individual and let you know what to expect during, in- between and after each of your treatments. I will always work with and for you, the client, to make sure that everything possible is done to achieve as much hair reduction as can be achieved, and to make sure that each person leaves happy. I do my best to make each client feel comfortable, when they may sometimes feel a little nervous. I have treated just about every ethnic background and feel 100% comfortable doing so. Different skin types must be treated with the right type of equipment, and I know that I always make the right judgment when it comes to choosing the equipment to treat with.
Still not sure? Come in and meet with me and I’ll give you everything you need to know. And, I’ve written a few paragraphs below that will give you a good background in laser hair removal.
Laser Hair Removal
Our hair grows in three different cycles, first it is a baby hair, then it is a full active adult follicle, then it naturally dies and falls out of our body. This is true for every single hair on every part of our bodies. When being treated by a laser for hair removal, the laser will only kill the hair when it is in the full adult follicle stage. Therefore, when being treated, it is always necessary to have numerous treatments. At Derma Health Institute, we do our hair removal in a series of 5 treatments. After your five treatments, we strive to have a 70-90% reduction of the hair in the treated area. Age, ethnicity, hormones and body part being treated are all a few of the factors that play in the results achieved.
It is very unlikely that you will ever see a 100% hair loss in any area with any type of hair removal treatment, due to the fact that we have hormones. Hormones are what cause our hair growth, and unless you were to get rid of your hormones completely, you will always have some sort of hair growth. If having to shave soft fine hairs once in a while as apposed to 5 times a week sounds appealing to you, then you would be a good candidate for our treatments. While you will experience permanent hair reduction with your laser treatments, maintenance is sometimes necessary to maintain your hair reduction. Maintenance treatments really vary on each individual. It could mean getting a touch up once a year, to three times a year. This can normally be determined by your laser clinician before you are through with your series of five.
Depending on what happens to your hairs after each treatment would determine how long your treatments will be spaced out. Once you have had your treatment, the hairs will shed themselves out of your body. You will then be “hair free” for a period of a few weeks. After this “hair free” period, you will start to notice hairs sprouting back in. Approximately 3-4 weeks after you notice the sprouting back in stage, you will be back in the office for your next treatment. Because every person’s body does everything at different rates, you will be in touch with your laser clinician to let them know how long these stages take for you, so you both know when to book your subsequent treatments. On average treatments are booked every 8-12 weeks.
There are very few restrictions when it comes to getting hair removal treatments. A major one is that you can not have any unnatural skin color on the body part that is being treated. What this means is that when it is time for your treatment, your skin (on the treated area) has to be at its most natural state. No tan (intentional or un-intentional) No sunburn, No tanning or bronzing lotions. This is a huge contraindication because the laser is looking for any color under the skin. The only color we want is the hair color. Another small restriction is that the hairs being treated can not be waxed or tweezed 4 weeks prior to your appointment. The laser is looking for the follicle to kill, and when the hair is tweezed, the follicle is being pulled out, therefore, there would be nothing for the laser to target.
Since the hair is killed by the laser attacking the pigment in the follicle, laser hair removal only works on hairs with enough pigment in them. Blonde, gray, white, some reds, and some light brown hair are untreatable with the laser. This is not to say that you could not come in to get some test spots on the area in question before laser treatments would be ruled out.
In conclusion, I think we’re the best in the industry at Derma Health Institute in terms of safety and results at a comparable cost. It’s why I stay here, not to mention that I would never want to leave my clients! When you’re ready, I hope you’ll come see us!
