- Arms

Hair removal can be performed in a number of ways. Two of the most effective options are electrolysis and laser hair removal.
Electrolysis
During electrolysis, a thin needle is inserted into the follicle, allowing for transfer of electrical current. This damages the hair follicle, preventing future hair growth. This option is the preferred method for grey hair and skin tones.
Laser Hair Removal
At Refresh Palm Beach Medical Aesthetics, we use Gentle Pro lasers, which are the gold standard for laser hair removal. Gentle Pro lasers have been the world-recognized leaders in laser hair removal for over 20 years. This powerful state-of-the-art technology can achieve permanent hair reduction anywhere on the body.
Thanks to our Gentle Pro lasers, we are able to perform fast and efficient treatments. The lasers we use are suitable for all skin types, making them quite safe. They are also equipped with a unique cooling system to enhance comfort.
The laser hair removal process involves the use of laser energy. The laser locks onto the pigment cells in the hair shaft, transferring heat to the follicle and damaging it. This impairs the follicle’s ability to grow new hairs.
The exact length of time required to perform laser hair removal treatments will depend on the size and number of areas being treated. Very small treatment regions like the upper lip can be addressed in a matter of minutes.
Usually, six to fourteen treatment sessions are required for optimal laser hair removal results. This is necessary to ensure that all the targeted hairs are treated during their growth phase.
Good Candidates for Hair Removal
Anyone can be a good candidate for hair removal treatments. Ideal candidates are patients who are sick of having to constantly shave, pluck, or wax unwanted hairs, since our treatment options are long-lasting.
Good candidates are patient and are willing to come in for multiple treatment sessions, since the hair removal process takes time. Hairs must be treated during their growth phase for treatment to be effective.
Your Consultation
Scheduling a consultation for hair removal will allow patients to discuss their hair-removal needs and goals. During this consultation, patients will learn about laser hair removal and electrolysis, and they will be able to choose their ideal option. They can ask any questions they may have.
Patients must provide their complete medical history, including any past treatments, medications, allergies, and pre-existing medical conditions.
How to Prepare for Your Laser Hair Removal Session
It is important to prepare properly for a laser hair removal session, since this will ensure effective treatment and help avoid complications. Follow these directions closely:
- Avoid tweezing, waxing, and topical hair-removal products for two weeks prior to the session.
- Avoid sun exposure and topical tanning products two weeks prior to hair removal.
- Avoid tanning beds for 30 days before the date of treatment.
- Shave the targeted treatment areas either the day of your treatment session or the day before.
Hair Removal Aftercare
Following the hair removal session, whether it was done using electrolysis or laser hair removal, the treated areas may experience redness, itchiness, or minor discomfort. No recovery time or downtime will be needed.
Patients must shave the treated area within the first three days of treatment. Patients are advised not to scratch or rub the affected areas. It will be important to avoid sun exposure and to apply proper sunscreen.
How Much Does Hair Removal Cost?
Hair removal treatments will cost different amounts depending on the size and location of the treatment areas. The number of regions being treated also affects the overall price, as does the specific treatment method being utilized.
