Laser Hair Removal

Body Bar MD uses Alma Soprano ICE, a sophisticated laser device that is not only effective for removing unwanted hair, but also for making the process as enjoyable as possible. Advanced cooling technology targets the surface, so while the laser hair removal treatment generates heat in the follicles, the tissue above remains a lower, more comfortable temperature.

Laser hair removal patients relax in a comfortable chair throughout the sessions, which tend to take about an hour maximum.

It will take some time before the unwanted hairs fall out of the damaged follicles, so don’t expect results right away. Also, note that laser hair removal works on follicles that are in an active growing phase—and some follicles will be resting during the treatment. In order to get coverage that is as complete as possible, patients will likely need to get three to five treatment sessions, each spaced days or weeks apart, in order to capture a maximum amount of active follicles.

The post-treatment area looks and feels similar to mildly sunburned skin: red, swollen, and sensitive to touch. Avoid exposing the treated skin to ultraviolet radiation from the sun or tanning beds in order to protect it from damage.

Side effects will fade in the days after a laser hair removal session, and the skin will gradually feel and appear smoother as the hairs fall out—and then don’t grow back!
