Would you like to have less hair on certain areas of your body? Maybe you'd like to remove some wrinkles, lines or brown spots on your face? In that case, the latest in laser services might be just what you're looking for.
In particular, laser hair removal can help you get rid of unwanted hair around the bikini line, on the upper lip or anywhere else you are concerned about. Laser skin resurfacing, then, is a facial rejuvenation treatment that can take care of wrinkles and spots that make the skin look older. In both cases, lasers are more popular than ever and offer a great non-surgical cosmetic option for both men and women.
Laser hair removal
During a laser hair removal treatment, a numbing cream is applied to the designated area, and then your cosmetic surgeon simply guides a low-energy laser over that region. The laser's heated light targets unwanted hair on the body, and the results are both immediate and impressive. Laser hair removal can target both small and large areas and doesn't require a recovery period - it's also relatively painless. All in all, laser hair removal is a great option for people tired of shaving and waxing - as a matter of fact it was the second most common non-surgical cosmetic treatment in 2009 (after Botox), according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS).
The best candidates for laser hair removal generally have dark hair and light skin and they also have done their research and have realistic expectations regarding laser hair removal. If you are very tan, have certain skin conditions or are pregnant, you should talk to a certified laser hair removal specialist first; you should generally wait until your tan has faded and after the pregnancy. Certain skin issues can preclude you from being a good candidate for this laser service.
Laser skin resurfacing
Another very popular laser service, laser skin resurfacing was the fifth most common non-surgical cosmetic procedure performed in 2009. Laser skin resurfacing is an anti-aging technique that can improve the appearance of wrinkles, lines, crow's feet, scars, dark spots and more on the face.
Again, lasers are more gentle and safe than ever, so this option is less painful and entails a much shorter recovery period than some other anti-aging treatments. During this procedure, the cosmetic surgeon removes a layer of skin so beautiful, new skin can shine through, filling in wrinkles and lines. There are a variety of laser types which can target different needs and issues, so it's best to consult a cosmetic surgeon about the most appropriate laser services for you.
