Laser Hair Removal

Dermablue is Asheville’s premier center for professional laser hair removal for both men and women.  For many men and women unwanted hair is a nuisance, and laser hair removal is a gentle and long-lasting solution for unwanted hair.  Laser hair removal works on any area of the body where smooth skin is desired: underarms, face, neck, legs, shoulders, back, chest, bikini line, and arms.

How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?

All lasers for laser hair removal are not created equal. At Dermablue, we use an actual laser, NOT an intense pulse light device. This ensures the best laser hair removal result with fewer treatments. The laser we use has a large spot size and works quickly, to cover more area in a shorter time. The results from a laser hair removal treatment may vary from one individual to another, based on factors such as hormonal hair growth patterns, hair type, color of hair, ethnic background and the specific area being treated.

Laser hair removal is for hair with color; gray, white, or red hair will not be detected by the laser and will not treat the hair permanently.  Dark hair has long-lasting, almost permanent results. Waxing, plucking, or topical hair removal should to be avoided prior to treatment for the laser to be successful.  If the follicle is removed the treatment is ineffective. The area being treated should be cleanly shaved and must stay out of the sun following the treatment.

A minimum of five treatments are usually needed and touch-ups are usually performed once or twice a year.  You will experience noticeable reduction in hair with every treatment.

Who is a candidate for Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is for hair dark in color; gray, white, blonde, or red hair cannot be detected by the laser as well. However, if you would like temporary reduction in hair, laser hair removal can accomplish this. Some skin types, hormonal hair growth patterns, hair type, ethnic background, and specific area being treated can cause results to vary from one individual to another.

What to expect during Laser Hair Removal?

When you come to your laser hair removal treatment appointment; the area being treated must be cleanly shaven and out of the sun prior to treatment. You should avoid waxing, tweezing, and any other topical hair removal prior to treatment. If the follicle has been removed the treatment is ineffective.

You will be sun sensitive after laser hair removal treatments, so we recommend the use of sunscreen with a minimum of 30 SPF, before and after treatment. Hair in the treated area will begin to fall out over the next week or two. Some will fall out immediately. It is important to time the hair removal treatments in the right treatment interval to get the best possible results.  Your technician will review this with you. A minimum of five treatments are usually needed and touch-ups are usually performed once or twice a year.
