Living in Rochester in the winter can be a drag but thing is certain no matter what season it is you always want soft smooth hair free skin. While there are many temporary methods to get rid of hair such as shaving, depilatory creams, waxing and tweezing, who wants to be bothered why not take care of it for good? There are only two ways to get rid of the hair for good. That is with Laser Hair Removal in Rochester or electrolysis.
When you come in for a Laser Hair Removal treatment you will be brought into a comfortable room where you will be asked to lie down. Protective eyewear will be given to shield your eyes from the light. The treatment will be provided using a hand-held laser wand. Laser Hair Removal in Rochester uses a special light beam that goes through the skin and focuses on the hair follicle scorching it until it can no longer produce new hairs. With every zap of the laser wand several hair follicles are treated at one time. Most clients report the procedure as being comfortable. Many of the wands are equipped with an apparatus that applies a gel to keep the skin cool. If you are having a sensitive area treated speak with your technician about the possibility of having an anesthetic cream applied prior to the session.
The hair will begin falling out around a week and a half after your first session. From just the first sessions alone you can expect at least a 20% reduction in hair. The majority of clients come in to our salon needing between two and eight sessions in order to become hair free. The sessions are quick. For example Laser Hair Removal of the under arms takes approximately three minutes per session or a total time investment of 15 to 20 minutes. The number of sessions that you will need depends upon the size of the area to be treated, the amount of hair in the area and the thickness of the hair. The sessions are scheduled four to six weeks apart.
Electrolysis is the other permanent hair removal method. It uses electricity to burn the hair follicle so it can no longer grow new hairs. A needle is placed into the hair follicle through the skin. The electric current starts off low and is increased until the hair can come out. This has to be repeated for every single hair follicle in the area to be treated. The sessions can last over an hour depending upon which body part you are treating. The total investment of time for under arms for electrolysis is four to ten hours. This is a big difference in time between the two methods. In addition, with electrolysis you will need between 15 and 30 sessions. With electrolysis you can end up with welts, skin discoloration, burns and abrasions. In rare cases some people have been shocked from the electric current.
