Skin Type and Eligibility Information

Ladies, how about getting rid of those razor bumps on your legs, underarm, and bikini areas? Guys, how about showing off a smooth back and shoulders? The possibilities are endless. At Laserium Med Spa we will customize any laser hair removal or skin package to your needs.

Remedies for unwanted hair usually include shaving, waxing, tweezing, electrolysis and depilatory use. Some are painful, others are messy, and all are just temporary solutions. Patients with light skin and dark hair are ideal candidates for laser hair removal.

However, the use of longer wavelength lasers and skin cooling devices have increased the safety of lasers used to treat patients with darker skin types that, until now, have not been candidates for laser hair removal. These skin cooling devices protect the upper layer of skin in darker skinned patients from absorbing too much laser energy, thus reducing the risk of blistering and pigment change. Whether you have light, medium, or dark skin we can help you! Laserium CosMedic is located in Plano and is convenient to Frisco and Dallas as well.

In addition to a patient's skin color, their hair color can also determine the number of treatments of laser hair removal. The pigment in dark hair readily absorbs laser energy, making black or brown hair easier to treat (American Academy of Dermatology). However, laser hair removal can now work well with blonde, brunette and red hair.

• Treatment Areas:

  Laserium CosMedic Plano has the ability and technology to treat all skin types and any body area.

• Description of Procedure

  A laser gently cools the surface of the skin as pulses of light are selectively absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicles. Absorbed light damages the existing hair and destroys the re-growth potential of the follicle while protecting the surrounding tissue. The end result is permanent hair removal. The laser treatment lasts anywhere from a few minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the area being treated. Because the laser tends to treat hair follicles that are in an active growth phase, more than one treatment may be required to disable hair follicles entering this growth phase after the first treatment.
