The Benefits of Laser Hair Removal
In addition to getting rid of unsightly hair, laser hair removal has several benefits over traditional waxing and shaving.
Opt for laser hair removal in Miami for benefits such as:
- Never get razor burns, or ingrown hairs again
- Precise targeting: Our lasers have settings for different hair types and are also calibrated to only target certain areas that have hair, leaving the rest untouched.
- Fast treatments: Our hair removal lasers have the largest spot size to enable the treatment of several hair follicles at once. This makes for an efficient, fast, treatment. You can get your upper lip done in under one minute.
- Money Savings: Laser Hair removal has an upfront cost, but once you’ve has your hair removed, its permanent. That means you will save big in the long term since you’ll no longer be paying for waxing, razors, or shaving gel.
- Targets all locations: You can do laser hair removal on any region of the body. We’ve got you covered whether its armpits, bikini area or buttocks, you can count on us to make sure you get rid of any unwanted hair.
HAIR REMOVAL
TECHNOLOGY
How Laser Hair Removal Works at Arviv Medical Aesthetics
At Arviv Medical Aesthetics, Dr. Arviv uses Syneron-Candela laser hair removal technology, the industry standard. The laser is a solid-state neodymium-YAG (yttrium/aluminum/garnet) and alexandrite two-in-one laser and is FDA approved for use in laser hair removal. The YAG laser, which is used in darker skin patients, targets water molecules heating up the tissue around the hair follicle and destroying it. The Alexandrite used on lighter skin types penetrates the hair follicle, targeting the melanin pigment it contains and destroys it, but leaves the surrounding skin intact.
Since your hair grows in cycles, you’ll need several treatments to remove all the hair. The time between treatments varies based on where the hair is removed and how fast your body grows hair, but the interval is typically between four and eight weeks.
