Laser Hair Removal Tampa Bay | Aesthetics by Karen Marlise

Laser hair removal treatments are a permanent solution for removing most unwanted hair. If you're tired of shaving, waxing or plucking body hair only to have it return days later, you may be interested in laser hair removal. No matter what skin type you have, newer lasers can safely and effectively remove unwanted hair from your face and body.

Laser hair removal systems use laser light, an intense pulsating beam of light, to remove unwanted hair. Whether it's on your face, arms, legs or other areas, laser hair removal may be an option if you seek long-term results. With multiple treatments, long-term hair removal is possible! Common treatment locations include the bikini line, legs, armpits, upper lip, chin, nose, back, neck, shoulders, buttocks and genitals.

Hair color and skin type are the key factors that influence the treatment success.

Lasers are most successful on people with dark hair (brown or black) and light skin. However, this technique can also be used on people with darker skin types if the correct laser is used by a trained laser professional.

Candidates For Laser Hair Removal . . .

Can I Have Laser Hair Removal Treatments?

Laser Hair Removal, when first introduced in the late 1990’s, was limited to light skinned individuals with dark hair. Today this has all changed. The advent of the new YAG Laser System has afforded excellent results for individuals with dark skin and dark hair. Permanent Laser Hair Removal can be achieved by precisely following each treatment protocol recommended by your Trained Laser Hair Removal Professional.

Laser Hair Removal for Light Skin Types.

I personally use the Candela GentleLASE™ Laser and if you are looking for a safe, effective aesthetic laser treatment, the Candela GentleLASE™ is the way to go. The GentleLASE™ Laser System can be used to treat hair removal on light skinned people as well as other aesthetic laser treatments such as Skin Rejuvenation, Facial & Leg Vein Treatments, Fine Line and Wrinkle Reduction, Skin Tightening, Vascular Lesion Treatments, Hemagiomas, (more commonly known as birthmarks) and can remove discolored skin pigmentation caused by acne, aging, sun spots, freckles, melasma and more. The lighter the skin and the darker the hair the more successful your laser treatments will be.

Laser Hair Removal for Darker Skin Types.

The FDA recently approved a new long pulse ND: YAG laser. The ND Yag laser gives people with dark skin and dark hair better options with laser hair removal than ever before. This is the laser I personally use for my clients with dark skin and hair. Before the approval of this laser, those with darker skin types had a greater chance of pigment discoloration. People who dark skin and are considering laser hair removal should also know that there is a very good chance that it will take more treatments for the hair removal to become permanent. This is because there is a different kind of laser being used, one that is not as concentrated and focused on the skin. This is to keep you safe from burns or skin discoloration. Find a specialist that is professional trained and educated on using The YAG Laser to remove unwanted hair on dark skin and what precautions they will have to take to successfully treat you safely.
