Introduction to Laser Hair Removal

Whether it’s for personal or grooming reasons, shaving your body and facial hair can be tedious, which is why more and more people are seeking to get to the “root” of the problem. With two convenient locations in Huntersville and Greensboro, NC, Carolina Age Management Institute (CAMI) is proud to provide the latest laser hair removal technology—the DEKA Motus AX system. Many practices advertise “painless” laser hair removal, but in our experience, that is not the case in most instances. We promise you that the MOTUS AX is a truly painless procedure that is safe, effective, and indicated for all skin types.

What is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser Hair Removal is a popular, non-invasive skin treatment that permanently reduces or eliminates unwanted hair from areas of the body using laser energy. The laser targets and destroys the root of the hair follicle without damaging the surrounding skin. The results are generally permanent and leave the skin smoother.

The beauty of laser treatments is that they can target hair in various regions of the body, but each area will have a slightly different treatment rate due to its size and location. The MOTUS AX is designed to target the hair follicle’s pigment, which means that darker hairs are easier to target than lighter ones. So, while the laser may effectively eliminate the darker hairs in the pubic area, it may have less success on the thinner hairs on the chin.

The hair growth cycle will directly impact the number of laser hair removal treatments you need. This is because the laser will be most effective at targeting hair in the first stage of growth, and not all hair will be in the same phase at the same time. Once your hair has been targeted, new hair follicles may still be able to form, but they will be lighter and more sparse than before.

What Are the Benefits of Laser Hair Removal?

Not only are the results permanent, but our Huntersville and Greensboror laser hair removal patients have mentioned the additional following benefits from their treatments:

  • Precise targeting in specific areas
  • Minimal to no discomfort
  • All skin types can be treated
  • You can treat tan skin in the summer with newer technology at CAMI
  • Affordable

Who Are the Best Candidates for Laser Hair Removal?

If you are self-conscious about unwanted hair on parts of your body or want a smoother appearance, then laser hair removal may be right for you. The best candidates for a Huntersville or Greensboro laser hair removal are those with the following characteristics:

  • Have darker hair colors and lighter skin
  • Have no skin conditions that could interfere with the treatment (i.e., rashes, infections, open wounds, or tans)
  • Maintain realistic expectations for their hair removal

To ensure you are a candidate for this treatment, we recommend you schedule a consultation with Dr. Giordano or one of his licensed Laser Estheticians.

Let’s Get Started

What’s the First Step?

The first step in getting laser hair removal in Huntersville or Greensboros is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Giordano or one of our laser technicians to discuss your goals and assess your skin and hair type. This is your chance to ask questions, understand the process, and see if you’re a good candidate for the treatment. They will also ask you questions about your medical history and lifestyle, so be sure to be as open as you can. Your honesty will help produce the best and safest results.

 

Once this treatment has been decided to be right for you, your provider will create your personal treatment plan, and our patient coordinator can help you schedule your first session and provide you with pre-treatment instructions, which will include, but are not limited to:

  • Avoid tanning or sunless tanners a month prior to the treatment, as the skin should be as light as possible
  • Avoid waxing or plucking (eyebrows) two to four weeks prior to treatment
  • Shave the area to be treated as directed the night before treatment
  • Take any medications prescribed by Dr. Giordano if necessary

What to Expect on the Day of Laser Hair Removal Treatment

The procedure uses concentrated beams of light energy to target and destroy the hair follicles. This is accomplished when the follicle absorbs the light through heat. Depending on the follicle, it may only become partially damaged, which means the treatment may need to be repeated. After a few treatments, the hair follicle is destroyed, and hair growth in those follicles is not returned. The light is big so that it can accommodate larger areas of hair, such as legs, arms, and backs.

The main reason that several treatments are typically required is that the light can only affect the follicle during the hair growth phase. Not all hair grows in the same phase, and the laser only targets hair in the growth phase or Anagen. At any given time, only 15%- 20% of the body hair is in Anagen, so it is necessary to perform laser hair removal several times to get all the hair in a targeted area.

Laser Hair Removal Recovery

The recovery process after laser hair removal is smooth and straightforward. Expect some redness and mild swelling, similar to a sunburn, which usually fades within a few hours to days. To ensure optimal results, avoid sun exposure and tanning beds and use gentle skincare products along with broad-spectrum sunscreen. Over the next few weeks, you’ll see treated hair naturally shedding—this is a sign the laser is doing its job. Keep away from harsh products and hot baths to prevent skin irritation.
