Laser resurfacing patients typically heal within three to ten days if all wound care instructions are followed carefully. While redness or increased pigmentation may occur, it fades over time. These technologies are being designed to generate new collagen production without interfering with the epidermis or the outside layer of the skin. As a result, these new technologies will improve wrinkles and scars without any post-procedure downtime and decrease the chance of pigmentary changes. Regardless of the cause, millions of Americans remove unwanted hair daily by a variety of temporary hair removal strategies that include shaving, waxing, chemical depilatories and tweezing.
Electrolysis provides a permanent, but often tedious and slow alternative solution for hair removal.
Coupled with our existing knowledge, this has given way to new and exciting possibilities into future testing and research development. Laser hair removal uses a low-energy laser to gently remove unwanted hair. The laser energy passes through the skin and is absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicle. In a fraction of a second, all of the treated hair follicles are disabled. Laser hair removal results will vary from patient to patient depending on skin and hair color.
