Laser Hair Removal Portland Information

A fast and easy way to permanently remove unwanted hair is laser hair removal. With our improved understanding of laser skin interactions and advances in laser technology, successful laser-assisted hair removal has become a reality. Unlike electrolysis, a slow process which kills one hair follicle at a time, laser hair removal reaches and treats hundreds of hair follicles simultaneously.

Physicians have been utilizing lasers in both medical and esthetic procedure for over a decade. State-of-the-art technology is designed to customize each individual treatment. The laser can be adjusted depending on each individual's skin type and density. This customization assures the best laser hair removal treatments possible.

During the treatment, a laser produces a beam of highly concentrated light that is directed over the area being treated. The pigment located in hair follicles absorbs the light emitted by the Laser. The laser produces precisely controlled pulses of energy that are concentrated in the follicles under the skin. The energy pulse plus the absorption of light causes vaporization of the pigment and the disabling of the follicles in order to eliminate or significantly impede the hair's re-growth.

Laser hair removal cannot remove all hair in one treatment; therefore patients will need multiple treatments in order to effectively reduce unwanted hair. Most patients will need anywhere from 3-6 treatments, but some might need up to 8. Laser hair removal is currently the number one laser treatment performed in the United States; therefore patients can trust that the laser hair removal procedure is a safe, fast and effective way to permanently reduce any and all unwanted hair.
