Introduction

Laser Hair Removal

If you deal with unwanted hair, you’re incredibly familiar with the repeated process of shaving, tweezing, or waxing. Perhaps you’ve even tried the creams that guarantee results, only to leave you more frustrated than where you began. No one wants to take their shirt off or walk out in a bathing suit only to realize, “uh oh, I forgot a spot!” Hair is natural, but we can all agree there is a time and place for certain hair types. In Pennsylvania, Laser Hair Removal is one of the most common procedures in the state. Here at Pure by Alpha Dermatology, we specialize in the procedure to help our patients achieve smooth, attractive skin with hairless underarms, bikini lines, backs, and legs. During the treatment, beams of highly concentrated light are injected into hair-targeted follicles. Pigment in the follicles absorbs the light and permanently destroys the hair.

No more “hairy” situations, at both our premier locations in New Hope and Sellersville, we specialize in Laser Hair Treatment, and this page is dedicated to helping you learn more about this simple, life-changing treatment.

Who are the Best Candidates for Laser Hair Removal?

We find the best candidates for Laser Hair Removal are those who have pale skin and dark hair. The contrast between light skin and dark hair allows melanin (the substance in your body that produces hair) to be easily targeted. Lasers can get into smaller surface areas like facial or pubic hair, although it should be noted that larger areas, such as your arms and back, produce better overall results. Unfortunately, blonde or fine hairs cannot be targeted by lasers.

What’s the first step?

The first step for getting Laser Hair Removal at either of our locations in New Hope or Sellersville is to contact Pure by Alpha Dermatology and schedule a consultation. When you come in for this appointment, you will meet with a member of our technician team who will answer any questions or concerns you have with the procedure, as well as offer advice on the treatment and a recovery plan. Once you agree to the procedure, we can start the day of or schedule a future day that fits your needs.

If you are planning on undergoing laser hair removal, you should limit plucking and waxing for six weeks before treatment as our laser targets the hairs’ roots, which are temporarily removed by waxing or plucking. You will also be asked to avoid sun exposure for six weeks before and after treatment. Exposure to the sun makes laser hair removal less effective and can lead to complications.

What to Expect on the Day of Laser Hair Removal

On the day of your Laser Hair Removal in Pennsylvania, we focus solely on your comfort. Pre, during, and post-treatment, our team will be there to make the process smooth, keeping you excited for the results. We start with our technician pressing a hand-held laser instrument to your skin. A cooling device on the tip of the instrument or a cool gel might be used to protect your skin and lessen the risk of agitation or redness.

When we activate the laser, the focused beam will pass through your skin and into the hair follicles. The intense heat from the laser beam damages the hair follicles, which inhibits hair growth. When this occurs, you may feel a warm pinprick, and you’ll likely feel a sensation of cooling from the device or gel following the laser. Different areas of your body will require more focus and time, as treating a larger area, such as the back, might take more than an hour.

Laser Hair Removal Recovery

Immediately following our Laser Hair Removal procedure, you may notice redness and minor swelling; this will only last a few hours and is natural after this type of treatment. We will likely advise you to apply ice to the treated area. If you have a skin reaction directly after laser hair removal, the technician may apply a steroid cream; this is very rare.

The treatments can last from ten minutes to an hour, and once complete, you are free to resume regular activities. We do ask that you avoid sunlight and don’t use a tanning bed for six weeks. Use a broad-spectrum SPF30 sunscreen daily to protect the treated area; the more protected, the better the results.

The results were amazing. I strongly believe that a good filler job means you can’t spot a filler job and she nailed it. I look like me, but more refreshed and younger!
