Throw Away Your Razor! Get Smooth Sexy Skin With Laser Hair Removal Treatments at Gerrish MedEsthetics
Within a few short sessions, you can be ready for the beach or office. Stop shaving and have silky, smoother legs (and other private body parts). Previous remedies for hair removal include shaving, plucking, waxing, tweezing, or chemical depilatories. While these methods may be effective they are only temporary. Long-term results have been achieved with electrolysis, but treatments are very painful and time-consuming. With the ongoing development of laser hair removal equipment, hairs may now be removed efficiently and effectively with long-term results. Lasers have come a long way baby.
According to Dr. Scott Gerrish, in order for you to get the best safest results, it depends on three factors:1. the type of laser used,
2. the age of the laser machine, and
3. the experience of the laser technician. I am hardwired as an engineer and medical doctor to only use the best treatments and technology for my patients.
What are the potential benefits of this treatment?
Even after the first treatment, you will notice a significant reduction in the amount of hair in the treated area. After several treatments, the need to wax, shave, pluck, or tweeze may be alleviated. Other benefits include immediate recovery with no downtime.
How does laser hair removal work?
Laser hair removal works by selectively targeting the hair follicle with an intense, highly concentrated burst of light. This intense burst of light heats the hair follicle to a controlled temperature, ultimately disabling future hair growth.
Am I a candidate?
Ideal candidates for laser hair removal have coarse, dark hair in locations that make you feel uncomfortable. State-of-the-art advances in laser technology now allow for the safe treatment of darker-skinned or tanned individuals. Each individual’s candidacy for laser hair removal will be specifically addressed upon consultation.
Laser Hair Removal FAQs
Laser Hair Removal
The cost for laser hair removal treatments is highly individualized and is dependent on the area being treated. When compared to various other hair removal methods, laser hair removal is an extremely cost-effective alternative. While many clinics play with low-ball price quotes to get you in the door, we don’t do that. Durning your consultion you will be presented with a very clear treatment plan and pricing schedule.
A Gerrish MedEsthetics Laser Specialist will assess the area and explain the treatment to you in detail. Treatment times vary but can be as short as several minutes. Immediately following the laser procedure your skin may have minimal reddening that will resolve over the next several hours. Each patient will be individually advised if specific post-treatment skincare is necessary.
With each laser pulse, the patient experiences a mild heat sensation on the skin’s surface most commonly compared to the snap of a rubber band. In sensitive areas, anesthetic creams or cooling devices can be utilized to minimize the discomfort.
In ideal candidates, side effects are extremely rare but may include mild skin irritation that may take several days to resolve. Consult with your laser specialist regarding the possibility of rare side effects.
Because the laser only treats the follicle of hairs in the active growth phase, more than one treatment will be necessary. While results vary, as few as three or four treatments, 2 to 3 months apart, maybe all that is necessary to remove the majority of unwanted hair.
