Why GentleLase Offers Excellent Laser Hair Removal In San Diego
At La Jolla Dermatology, Dr. Stuart relies on the trusted technology of GentleLase. GentleLase targets the pigment in the hair follicle without damaging surrounding skin tissues. It is safe and reliable on all skin types and hair colors. The GentleLase hand piece emits a cooling spray before each laser pulse for additional skin protection and to reduce any potential discomfort caused by the heat of the laser. The cooling agent also helps to speed up treatment allowing for larger areas of hair removal in a shorter amount of time.
Other lasers can't treat all hair colors or skin types and tend to be much less effective if the patient's skin is darker than their hair. Other lasers can also burn the surrounding skin leaving blisters and discoloration. With advanced GentleLase technology combined with Dr. Stuart's extensive training, our San Diego area patients don't have to worry about these obstacles.
Laser Hair Removal at La Jolla Dermatology
Each laser hair removal procedure is tailored to your unique needs based on your skin tone, hair color and texture. Treatment time can be as little as 10 minutes and can take as long as an hour. Because GentleLase targets more than one follicle at a time, large areas of hair removal, like the back or legs, don't take long at all. GentleLase delivers a short burst of non-toxic cryogen right before the laser pulse and your skin is given added protection which means you won't need any downtime after your procedure.
GentleLase can treat unwanted hair growth on any area of the body or face, except areas close to your eyes. GentleLase is the mildest, most effective laser hair removal treatment and will leave your skin hairless, undamaged and silky smooth.
Effective laser hair removal occurs while the hair follicle is in its growth cycle. Hair follicle's are in various stages of the growth cycle so in order to target all the follicles, multiple laser hair removal treatments are necessary. Generally 4 complete treatments are needed every 8 weeks for the best results. Your specific laser hair removal regimen will be discussed with Dr. Stuart at your first appointment. To request your consultation, call (858) 623-6333 now.
GentleLase Hair Removal Recovery = No Downtime
Your skin may look like you've spent a day in the sun immediately following a laser treatment. Limit your exposure to the sun and wear a sunscreen if outside following your treatment.
You will want to clean your skin with a mild soap and not use any astringents or chemicals that might irritate your skin. Your hair may "grow out" within the following week - this is the dead hair growing out of the treated follicles. The hair can be shaved, but you should not wax or tweeze these hairs.
Once your treatment cycle is complete, your skin will be silky smooth and hair free. With the money and time you'll save on daily hair removal methods, your laser hair removal treatments can eventually pay for themselves.
