What Type of Laser Hair Removal is Preferred?

Evanesque is a Dallas-based Spa that offers its clients a variety of solutions for laser hair removal and skin rejuvenation. The GentleLASE System is preferred by our expert technicians for laser hair removal. This system utilizes an alexandrite laser to destroy the hair follicle without damaging the surrounding tissue. The laser emits a special frequency beam of light, and the energy is transformed into heat. Our technique uses a special Dynamic Cooling Device in conjunction with the laser to minimize discomfort. The device emits a burst of cryogen for this purpose.

How Long Will the Entire Process Take?

Since Evanesque uses the fastest laser hair removal system, GentleLASE, each treatment will only take between 10 minutes to one hour, depending on the area treated. For example, the face, underarms and bikini area can all be treated in 10 to 15 minutes each. However, the legs or back may take up to an hour.

To completely remove an area of hair, most people require six treatments. The number depends upon the client’s skin color, hair color, hair texture, hair density and age. The technician will adjust the device according to these specifications before the procedure.

The client must wait until the hair is in the early growth stages for the laser to have the maximum effect. This usually takes between four to six weeks. Clients must wait this length of time, because the laser detects hair with melanin easier than lighter hair. Melanin is more prevalent in the early growth stages after four to six weeks.

The entire process of laser hair removal may take 24 to 36 weeks or six to nine months for complete hair removal. Clients may be not engage in tanning activities during this time. Some clients may have to return annually for minor maintenance.

How to Prepare for Laser Hair Removal

Contact Evanesque to schedule an initial consultation and an appointment. In addition to remaining out of the sun for two weeks prior to treatment, clients should shave the intended area of treatment. This process focuses the efforts of the laser on the hair beneath the skin rather than the hair above the surface. No plucking, waxing or depilatories may be used for four weeks before laser hair removal.

Make plans to remain out of the sun after treatment. Most other daily indoor activities may be resumed immediately. The treated area may be slightly sensitive or red following the treatment. The sensitivity may last for a few days. Some clients alleviate discomfort with cooling gels.

Evanesque offers laser hair removal in Dallas for unibrows, bikini lines, backs, under arms, and other common areas to get laser hair removal. Check out or specials in Dallas: SPECIALS!

1. Pluck – We’ve all played this game you can’t win. You pull out those rusty tweezers packed away deep in the medicine cabinet. You can’t ever get the right angle, but when you do it’s not tears of joy streaming from your eyes down your face, it’s tears of pain.
2. Burn – Hair can be burned off using a common cigarette lighter. The problem is it smells and you could light your flesh on fire. Unless you’re doing this on a dare with a large payoff, this isn’t the most advisable way to get rid of unwanted hair.
3. Yank – You can try pulling those stray nose hairs out by using your index finger and thumb as human tweezers. It’s the same result as metal tweezers, you’ll cry like a baby and you’ll have noone to blame but yourself.
4. Boil – Hair will come out in boiling water as evidenced by the boiling of the wild boar for those summer Hawaiian luals, unfortunately your skin might melt off too, but the hair will be gone.
5. Shave – The old fashioned way which never goes away. You’ll inevitably get ingrown hairs and razor bumps. I’ll admit there is something mantastic about the ritual or process of lathering up the cream and the art of shaving where your sideburns are lined up just right. Do you get the same feeling shaving your back? Or having your spouse or girlfriend do it for you? Yeah, me either. Fortunately, I haven’t had to do it for the last five years because of laser hair removal.
   
6. Cream – There are certain creams which cause skin to release their grasp at the follicle level. According to Wired Magazine, this is how Nair, a popular hair removal cream works: “a sulfur-hydrogen atom group gives thiols their sharp scent. They eat into keratin (a skin and hair protein), which is what makes actual skunk spray (and Nair) lock onto human flesh and fuzz. If the process stopped there, the result would be a home perm — weakened hairs can be easily shaped into curls.” Do you want sulfur eating your keratin?
7. Pills – According to eHow.com, one side effect of taking estrogen pills is a loss of facial hair. This would typically only be taken by men wanting to become women, although they are prescribed for other reasons such as prostate cancer prevention and treatment.
   
8. Shock – Although electrolysis works on both light dark hair, according to About.com “the pain from electrolysis is greater than laser and it may feel like 20 pricks to your one for laser hair removal.”

Do yourself a favor and go with the laser over all these other methods.

Aesthetically speaking , hairy backs are way down the list of desired body features in our world.

• Broad backs = good
• Strong backs = good
• Toned backs = good,
• but Hairy Backs = Not so much…

Of course you can have your partner shave you every week or so, or you can live life assuring that no one ever sees your back, or you can remove the hair and get to work on the Strong, Toned & Broad part of the equation. Laser Hair Removal for the male back is a very popular and common treatment for guys that have unwanted hair in excess.

The process is very simple; Find a reputable Laser Hair Removal Specialist, with the most effective hair removal laser. The clear choice (in my opinion) is the Candela GentleLase Mini. It is both fast and effective. Then, plan to go through a series of 6-7 treatments at 6 week intervals. The 6 week interval is critical to the success of the process. Our hair grows in cycles and the 1st cycle of growth is the best opportunity to destroy the hair follicle. During the 1st phase (Anagen) the hair has its most color or melanin. The melanin is the trait that allows the laser to deliver maximum heat to the hair bulb in order to destroy it.

The pitfalls to treating the male back are these: Fairly expensive (Very large treatment area), easy to miss some spots as the laser operator must be very meticulous on an area this large.

The biggest caution we see is that guys forget to stay true to the process. i.e. they see the hair disappear after 1 treatment and assume the hair disappearance is permanent and that they won’t need all 6-7 treatments. They then get way off schedule and are surprised when their results are not what they had hoped for.

The good news- If you do go to a reputable operator with a good laser and laser technician and are steadfast about being treated every 6 weeks, the results are incredible and permanent.

Here’s the real story for your unwanted hair options.

If you are certain that you want to permanently get rid of unwanted hair, you may find the following lists helpful in your decision.

Thousands in Dallas have opted for and embraced Laser Hair Removal versus an ongoing series of waxings, here’s why:

LASER HAIR REMOVAL

Before I had Laser Hair Removal (LHR) on my underarms I hated the constant chore of shaving. After, I never give shaving the slightest thought and my skin there is entirely soft and smooth. Haven’t touched my underarms with a razor in over 4 years, I love it. The Candela GentleLase has been a wonderful asset to me and to our LHR clients. Before, my friend Susan had her bikini area treated 3 years ago, she often suffered from the unpleasant effects of ingrown hairs, rashes and the like. After, she raves about how great LHR is and how much she is glad her razor rash days are behind her. She has come in for yearly touch-ups just twice in 3 years, but other than that her bikini upkeep is non-existent. If you haven’t tried it you should at least do some research. Of course you can see the Q&A Section on our website or here are some other sites with pretty good information: Hairlasers.com, & Hair Removal Forum
After, is way way better than Before when it comes to Laser Hair Removal.  

How is the laser hair removal process completed? First, a cool gel is applied to the skin which protects against the intense beam of light that is used destroy the hair follicle and inhibit the growth of new hair. An intense light beams at various intervals is applied to the skin which can cause damage to the follicle, after multiple treatments the follicle eventually becomes destroyed and hair growth is impossible.

Laser hair removal for men is a welcome alternative to other methods of quelling unwanted hair, such as; tweezing, waxing, electrolysis and shaving. Men are getting popular parts of the body lasered such as; the back, chest, even the face and area in between the eyebrows.

Laser hair removal is performed at a recognized clinic at various intervals and has a low recovery time. When the patient undergoes the treatment they can continue with their normal activities within hours of the treatment being completed.

The procedure is relatively painless as no needles or blades are used in the hair removal process. In as little as a few sessions the treatments can begin to be effective to slow the growth of hair and reduce the appearance of unwanted hair on the body. The pain factor of this process has been compared to the feeling of tiny flicks on the skin of a rubber band.

Unfortunately, many men have thicker and darker hair which means that additional treatments may be required to rid the body of the excess hair. There is something else that can prove a problem for hair removal technicians while using lasers. Many men have tanned skin, if your skin is tanned or you are of a darker pigmentation than the skin may be susceptible to blistering. Dark hair is actually easier to laser as it easily absorbs the laser.

There are risks to the treatment of the skin that has been treated becoming discolored. This could include darkening or lightening of the pigmentation that has been effected or the skin suffering from burning from the intense light which could cause blistering or the appearance of the skin to change. The hair growth which results could be changed; some people have experienced different color and texture of hair that is re-grown in the area.

Although the treatments come at a costly expense, for many men this expense is worth not having unwanted body hair. These treatments can cost upwards of one-hundred dollars each time the procedure is performed and can take multiple times to become an effective method of hair removal. For most, this is worth it, as the cost can often yield positive results that leave the men hairless in all the right areas. 

No More Shaving. When you don’t have to shave you can save valuable money on shaving supplies. When you undergo the laser hair removal you don’t have to worry about razor burn or rashes associated with shaving. When you undergo the laser hair removal treatment it can be effective in as little as one treatment. No longer will you have to shave every couple of days, watching the hair grow in thicker and darker than it grew before. Are you ready to give up the razor? Consider all of the benefits of laser hair removal the next time you think about shaving your legs!

Effectiveness in As little as one treatment. Did you know that laser hair removal can see results in as little as one treatment? After one treatment the hair follicles are on their way to becoming destroyed therefore hair growth is nearly impossible. After the treatment you can see the slowing of hair growth as well as seeing limited hair for a longer period of time. It can last up to months at a time, although multiple treatments will yield the best results.

Save Money on Hair Removal. Laser hair removal can come at a onetime cost, but compared to the costs of hair removal throughout a lifetime it can save you a ton of money! Laser hair removal treatments can come at the price of about $150.00 per session and the average person will need up to five sessions.

Smooth, Hairless Results. The results from laser hair removal are not comparable to shaving. You will receive smooth results on the area of the body that has been treated. After one time you can view results from the area that has been lasered as the hair follicles have been destroyed. Regardless of our sex, or age we all want smooth and hairless skin on specific parts of the body. We no longer have to worry about embarrassing body hair once you have undergone the laser hair removal treatments. This is one of the main benefits for many people experiencing excessive hair growth in unwanted areas.

Fewer Side Effects. In comparison to electrolysis or tweezing there are very few side effects. You can undergo the course of treatment for laser hair removal and get back on with your day immediately after the procedure has been completed. There is little pain from the procedure which could be compared to a small elastic band flicking the skin – this sensation is created from the intense beams of light which are being used to flash the skin and eradicate the hair follicle.
