While most people wish for thicker, longer hair on their heads, almost everyone has body or facial hair that they do not want. Not only is shaving cumbersome, many people deal with regular nicks, cuts, and hair bumps. It is wrongly thought of as inexpensive. The average person is estimated to spend $4000-$5000 long term on razors alone.
From the agony of waxing, threading, and sugaring to the odors and irritated skin caused by depilatory creams, there are plenty of good reasons to search for a lasting solution. Capable of producing semi-permanent to permanent results, laser hair removal is an excellent choice for anyone who wants smooth, stubble-free skin all the time. Here is what to know about laser hair removal here at Bawa Medical.
What Is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is a non-invasive procedure that uses heat energy to target individual hair follicles. During treatment, each pulse of laser light enters into a hair follicle and renders it incapable of producing new growth. While most people require between four and six treatments to experience a lasting reduction in unwanted hair, even a single treatment leads to permanent reduction in hair. If you would rather not have to shave your face, legs, back, or other areas for the rest of your life, laser hair removal is the treatment for you.
The lasers used in these procedures target the pigment in hair follicles. This in turn leaves the surrounding skin undamaged. In the past, it meant that some laser treatments worked best on people with lighter skin and dark hair. This combination provided the contrast that lasers required to consistently hit their targets. However, the Candela GentleMax Pro Plus device used at our Boca Raton office uses newer laser technology. It can be used on a variety of hair color and skin tone combinations.

Experience a Rapid and Remarkable Decrease in New Hair Growth
Laser hair removal with the GentleMax Pro Plus is flexible enough for use in almost any area. These treatments are perfect for removing hair on the face, torso, back, legs, buttocks, and arms. They are also effective for selectively refining hair lines, beard sculpting, bikini lines, chest hair, and more. Whether used for sculpting or to eliminate large patches of hair entirely, this hair removal method is both quick and pain-free. Moreover, you will experience a noticeable decrease in unwanted hair across the treatment area after one session.
Avoid Hair Bumps, Ingrown Hair, and General Skin Irritation
Hair bumps form when fast-growing hair curl downward into the skin. They are an all-too-common side effect of shaving, but some people also develop them when pulling hair out by the root. As such, waxing, sugaring, threading, and plucking pose this risk too.
However, these methods, if performed repeatedly over time, can also play a hand in weakening your skin. If you regularly wax your legs, your upper lip, or your chin, you may be at risk of breakouts and noticeable ingrown hairs that can impact your confidence. It can also lead to loose skin and premature aging. Laser hair removal poses no such risk. You can avoid the development of hair bumps, skin irritation, breakouts, skin laxity, and more.
Laser Hair Removal Causes Minimal Discomfort
It is also important to note that removing hair by the root can be incredibly painful. So can hair bumps, shaving cuts, and the general irritation that is caused by razors. Comparatively, laser hair removal causes only minimal discomfort, if any. Some people compare each pulse of laser light to being lightly snapped by a rubber band, but most people find it completely benign.
