Types of Excessive Hair Growth

There are two classifications of excessive hair growth:

  • Hypertrichosis: This condition is the growth of extra body hair in both normal and abnormal patterns. Hypertrichosis can be caused by genetic factors, medications, malnutrition, hormones, tumors, and metabolic issues.
  • Hirsutism: This condition causes excessive hair growth in women – but features male patterns. These include beards, mustaches, or hair on the lower belly. This condition may be linked to hormonal problems, medications, tumors, or genetic factors.

How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?

At SeaMist Medspa, we use state-of-the-art lasers which emit highly concentrated light into the hair follicles. The pigment within the follicles will absorb the light resulting in permanent prevention of future hair growth while leaving the surrounding skin undamaged. Lasers come with cooling devices to decrease any discomfort and protect the skin’s top layer from excessive heat and potential pigmentation changes.

Because hair continues to grow, repeat treatments are likely needed to destroy the hair follicles. Laser hair removal is repeated until the growth of hair is stopped completely. Providing you with satisfactory results and improving your confidence.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has given the green light for using lasers to promote hair reduction

How Many Hair Removal Treatments Will I Need?

There are three phases of hair growth. For laser hair removal to be the most effective in disabling the hair follicle, the hair will need to be in the active growth cycle. Most individuals can achieve their desired results in 6 treatments.

However, everyone is different, so you may require less or more treatments. Once treatment is completed, it could take up to 2 weeks for the hair to fall out. The cost of hair removal will depend on the number of sessions that you need to get permanent results.

Should I Try Home Hair Removal Products Before Having Laser Hair Removal Treatments?

Many of our patients will try at home products before seeking laser hair removal. These may include waxing, tweezing, hair removal lotions, and even at-home lasers. These products may provide a temporary removal of hair, but the hair generally grows back in a matter of weeks or days.

Expected Results

Results may vary, but on average you can expect to see:

  • Up to 25 percent hair growth reduction with each treatment.
  • Treatments are performed again every month to two months, depending on your individual needs.
  • Hair that may come back after treatment is typically finer in texture and lighter in color.

Tips From The American Academy of Dermatology:

The American Academy of Dermatology reports that many Americans suffer from unsightly facial and body hair – and want to find solutions to the problem.

  • Lasers offer the best results to those with light skin and dark hair because laser light is not highly absorbed by dark pigments in the surrounding skin.
  • There are lasers with longer wavelengths that can effectively treat those with darker skin.
  • Treatments will only be performed by trained professionals like those who work at SeaMist MedSpa.
  • At least three treatments are typically needed to achieve permanent results.
  • Dark hair responds better to laser hair removal treatments.
  • Lighter hair is less responsive, but medications are available to increase effectiveness.
  • If you are looking to try laser hair removal, it’s best to avoid tanning for six weeks before treatment.
  • You should avoid exposure to the sun after treatments and use a sunscreen with a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of at least 30.

INSTANT, NATURAL & QUALITY RESULTS THAT LAST WITHOUT INVASIVE SURGERY

Thread lifting with MINT™ PDO Thread is a minimally invasive procedure using absorbable polydioxanone (PDO) barbed sutures. The treatment provides an instant facelift that lifts sagging facial skin and progressively adds volume to the mid-face region. MINT™ PDO thread is a popular non-surgical facelift option and is FDA-cleared. Not only do MINT™ PDO threads improve the appearance of sagging skin, but the PDO sutures also promote collagen stimulation and neovascularization. This action enhances skin elasticity and improves skin texture. It also reduces the appearance of noticeable fine lines and adds facial volume.
