Unveiling the Secret to Smooth Skin: Laser Hair Reduction

Are you tired of the never-ending cycle of shaving, waxing, and threading? Traditional methods of hair removal can be inconvenient and time-consuming. However, Laser Hair Reduction offers long-lasting results and convenience, significantly reducing the need for constant maintenance. At Jiva Med Spa, we create a customized laser hair reduction treatment plan specific to each patient. Continue reading to learn more about Laser Hair Reduction and explore whether it is the right treatment for you.

How does Laser Hair Reduction Work?

Laser hair reduction is currently one of the most popular cosmetic treatments in the United States, with over a million treatments every year. The procedure involves the use of highly concentrated pulses of light that are directed into hair follicles, which damages the follicles and reduces future growth. This treatment is best for thick black or brown hair and large surface areas, such as legs. However, we offer laser hair reduction treatments for any hair type and any part of the body. For optimal results, it is recommended to have 6 or more treatment sessions.

Benefits of Laser Hair Reduction:

1. Convenience: With laser hair reduction treatments, you don’t have to shave day after day in multiple areas of your body! Taking a bit longer one time is better than taking time to shave almost every day.
2. Long-lasting results: Laser hair reduction treatments can lead to permanent hair removal after several sessions, making it a long-lasting solution compared to other methods.
3. Precision: Lasers can remove hair while protecting the skin, making it ideal for precise hair reduction.
4. Speed: This treatment can target multiple hair follicles in a fraction of a second. Smaller areas, like the upper lip, can be treated in just minutes, while larger areas, such as the back or legs, may take about an hour.
5. Reduced ingrown hairs: Laser hair reduction can effectively reduce ingrown hairs, a common issue with shaving and waxing.

Importance of Multiple Treatments:

We recommend a minimum of 8 treatments for long-lasting smoothness due to the hair-growth cycle. Hair grows in cycles, and hair follicles are in different phases: anagen (active growth), catagen (transition), and telogen (resting). Laser hair reduction is most effective during the anagen phase when the hair follicle is actively producing pigment. Since not all hair follicles are

in the anagen phase simultaneously, especially when shaving, multiple sessions are required to target hair in various stages of growth. The typical duration of an entire hair growth cycle varies from person to person, but on average, it takes about 6 to 8 sessions to address hair in all growth phases.
