Laser Hair Reduction: a Smooth Move

Winter time is a great time to take care of unwanted hair in a nontraditional way. Most laser hair reduction methods require a little growing out period for a more effective procedure.

While the procedure is often called laser hair “removal”, we believe that “reduction” is a more accurate name because not all hair can be removed permanently. MediSpa’s Laser Hair Reduction method is a great solution to virtually eliminate the need for waxing, shaving and electrolysis.

Here’s how it works – the high-energy laser light targets the pigment of the hair follicle and can inhibit the hair’s growth. No need to worry about the surrounding skin. Our laser is so precise that it leaves skin unharmed and with little irritation. Also, our medically trained professionals ensure a successful outcome by adjusting for your skin type, tone, texture and the condition of your hair.

Our lasers are very safe because they are non-invasive and target only the areas to be treated. Laser Hair Reduction is less irritating to your skin than waxing and shaving, but talk to one of our certified dermatologists about what works best for your hair and skin. Call us today to schedule your consultation!

If you have any questions about laser hair reduction or about changes in your skin, please call us today at 865-690-9467. Skin health is an important part of total body wellness. Schedule an appointment with one of our board certified physicians to get your skin the care it needs so it can reach its fullest, healthiest potential.

Bare those Legs!

Despite the recent cold front in Knoxville, warm weather continues to lurk. It won’t be long until we can officially store sweaters and scarves and break out the skirts and sundresses. Now is the perfect time to deal with unwanted hair!

If you struggle with ingrown hairs or quick hair regrowth, you may want to look into options outside of the shave or wax route. Although there is currently no permanent hair removal method, our MediSpa offices do offer laser hair reduction which can reduce the appearance of hair considerably.

Here’s how it works – the high-energy laser light targets the pigment of the hair follicle, inhibiting the hair’s growth. No need to worry about skin irritation. The laser is so specific that it leaves the surrounding skin unharmed. The medically trained professionals at MediSpa make adjustments to the laser based on your skin type, skin tone, skin texture and the condition of your hair and skin.

The amount of time needed for your appointment will vary depending on the amount of hair you wish to treat. Some hairs may not grow back, but the hair that does return will be lighter in color and finer in texture. Most people require 5-7 treatments in order to reduce hair. After that, you will need to come back for maintenance treatments. Please call one of our certified dermatologists to discuss what options are best for you.
