Laser hair removal treatment disables hairs in the active growth phase by delivering light energy to the hair follicles, safely targeting the hair shafts without damaging pigment in the surface of the skin.
Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow
Laser Hair Removal FAQs
Flowing tresses on your head are an asset, but the demand for Denver laser hair removal shows that hair does not always grow where it should. At Avanti Skin Center of Denver, this is one of the many ways we help our clients stay beautiful.
Removing unwanted hair on your own means relying on waxing, tweezers, and razors. Painful electrolysis is an option as well, but the potential side effects are quite unpleasant. At Avanti, we are pleased to offer the latest technology to deal with this hair using the power of lasers.
This effective alternative to traditional ways to remove hair is painless and quite effective for most patients. It works by disabling hair in their active growth phase by destroying the follicles. This prevents them from growing again, all without damage to the skin.
This treatment is available for many areas of the body, including:
- Chin
- Neck
- Arms
- Under arms
- Legs
- Bikini area
Treatment with lasers does require more than one treatment, because not all of the hair will be in their active growth phase during the first treatment. Patients who return for their follow up treatments report an 80 to 90 percent reduction in unwanted hair. Once the treatments are complete, most patients are able to throw away the razors and tweezers for good.
If you are ready to get rid of your unwanted hair for good, call Avanti Skin Center to discuss Denver laser hair removal. With the help of our highly qualified staff, you can finally embrace a pain-free option for dealing with unwanted hair.
Cutera CoolGlide – Laser Hair Removal
Approved by the FDA for permanent hair reduction, the Cutera CoolGlide hair removal laser works well for all skin types and tones, from the lightest to the darkest. Skin tones are categorized, from Level I (the lightest) to Level VI (the darkest). Unlike most other hair removal lasers on the market, which only work well with the three lightest levels of skin tones, the Cutera CoolGlide produces amazing results for even the darkest of skin tones. We've seen great results with patients who have deep sun tans and/or very dark, natural skin tones. The unique design of the hair removal laser, along with its longer wavelength and innovative cooling design, produces safe, effective, permanent hair reduction.
ProWave 770 – Laser Hair Removal
Approved by the FDA for permanent hair reduction, the ProWave 770 laser hair removal system uses a tailored light source and produces approximately 90% reduction in hair. Using a special handpiece, we're able to treat large areas quickly and safely for most skin types.
Please note: While IPL therapy can be used for hair removal, we've experienced much better results from the Cutera CoolGlide and ProWave 770. The performance from these two lasers is far superior, resulting in deeper, more permanent hair removal.
Laser Hair Removal FAQs
When the pulse of light is delivered, some patients experience a mild pinching or stinging sensation. No local anesthesia or pain medication is typically required; however, some patients may prefer to use a topical anesthetic when sensitive areas are treated.
Shaving, waxing, and depilatory creams are all temporary methods which must be repeated on a frequent basis. ProWave offers permanent hair reduction for lasting results.
Electrolysis is a tedious, invasive, and painful process that involves inserting a needle into each individual hair follicle and delivering an electrical charge to them one at a time. Electrolysis often requires years of treatments at regular intervals. By delivering light energy to hundreds of hair follicles at a time, ProWave effectively treats an area in just seconds that would take over an hour with electrolysis.
For best results, most areas of the body will require several laser hair removal treatments. Because there are three phases of hair growth (active, regressing, and resting), it's impossible to completely remove all of the hairs in a single treatment.
We can discuss laser hair removal treatments that would be best for you in an Avanti complimentary consultation.
