There are many ways you can remove unwanted hair. If you want to achieve long-lasting results, however, you should consider opting for Laser Hair Removal in Santa Fe. Hair is burned away using light from a laser that also disables the hair follicle. The result is clear skin that remains hair-free for up to two years.
Although laser hair removal is an effective way to deal with unwanted hair, it doesn’t work well for everyone. Dark hair responds best to the laser treatment because it contains the most amount of melanin. Blonde and red hair may need to be treated with a special solution prior to using the laser, and even then results are not guaranteed.
Some machines only work well when there is a stark difference between the hair and the skin. It may take people with dark or tanned skin longer to achieve results because the melanin that darkens hair is also present in the skin. Because of this, there is also a higher risk of hyperpigmentation occurring on people in this group. It’s important to discuss these risks with the technician who’ll be performing the procedure so you’re well informed prior to having it done.
Lastly, people who are eating a lot of foods containing beta-carotene such as carrots, sweet potatoes, and squash, will need to cut down on their consumption of those foods before getting Laser Hair Removal in Santa Fe. Beta-carotene can turn the skin an orange color that may be unnoticeable to the naked eye, but interferes with laser’s performance.
For most people, though, laser hair removal is safe and effective. However, it can take multiple sessions to completely eliminate hair in large areas like the legs or chest. Side effects are minimal and typically only involve reddened skin after treatment. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons list the average cost of this procedure at $235 per treatment. Be aware, though, how much you’ll be charged will depend on a number of factors including the size of area treated, number of treatments, and who is performing the procedure.
