How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?

Laser Smooth Company_Laser_hair_removal_health_01

Laser hair removal is, without a doubt, the best procedure to permanently reduce hair on all areas of your body. But how does it work? At Laser Smooth Company, we’re aware that the idea of using laser technology on your body can be a little bit intimidating. We’re here to assure you, however, that this technology is not only effective, but safe and specifically designed for minimal discomfort to patients.

Laser Smooth Company uses a technology called the Light Sheer Duet Laser. This technology uses a process called selective photothermalysis or target destruction. That means that it is designed to specifically target hair follicles, assuring that the hair follicles are damaged properly without damaging the epidermis and surrounding tissues. While the temperature of the hair follicle is raised enough to damage the viable hair cells, your skin stays safe.

When the laser hair removal technician presses the Light Sheer Duet Laser to your skin, it first gently draws your skin into the hand piece with a vacuum. This both stretches the skin thin and draws the hair, the target, closer to the energy source. Stretching reduces the density of melanocytes in the skin, and restricts blood vessels, blanching the skin. This means less energy is absorbed by the epidermis and by the oxyhemoglobin. Because less energy is lost to these areas, more energy is focused on the hair follicles. Follicular melanin absorbs the laser energy, building heat and damaging the hair follicle’s ability to regrow.

Following follicular destruction, the debris of hair cells will shed out and will fill with dermal fibers after approximately one month. It is important to note that because each individual hair cell on the body can be found in a different stage of growth (anagen, catagen, or telogen), the process of permanent hair reduction can take between 4 to 8 treatments, spread out over 4 to 6 weeks between each treatment. However, by employing the use of the High-Speed Light Sheer Duet Laser, we are able to reduce treatment times by up to 75%. This technology is truly innovative. The Light Sheer Duet Laser has a spot size of 22 mm x 35 mm. The benefits of the vacuum system and large spot size are that energy delivery is more efficient, lower fluence levels are required, it aids procedure comfort, and there is no need for topical anesthetics.

Laser Smooth Company employs the use of technology that is best suited for your comfort and most efficient hair removal. We have all the information you need on how hair laser removal works – and more! We want to help you get that perfect after-shave smooth skin – permanently! We are located at 2850 SE Powell Valley Rd in Gresham, Oregon. To set up an appointment, or for more questions about our laser hair removal service, call or contact us today at 503-867-6386!

 

Cost of Laser Hair Removal Near Me

Laser Smooth Company_Everything_You_Wanted_To_know

When it comes to cost for Laser Hair Removal there are two factors involved; the area you are removing hair from and the number of sessions that you want to have. Let’s break down the body areas first.

HAIR REMOVAL AREAS

Small Treatment Areas for Laser Hair Removal

Underarms, hands, feet, areolas, bikini line, happy trail, chin, forehead, sideburns, upper lip, lower lip, jawline, ears, anterior neck, posterior necks

Medium Treatment Areas for Laser Hair Removal

Upper arms, lower arms, upper back, lower back, chest, stomach, shoulders, buttocks, men’s beard line.

Large Treatment Areas for Laser Hair Removal

Full face, Full Arms, Lower Legs, Upper Legs, Brazilian, Full back, Chest & Abs

TREATMENT PACKAGES

Treatment packages can range from a single visit to 3 or 6 visits. The number of visits depends on the client as everybody has different hair removal needs. It is recommended that you come in for multiple visits.

This is because at any given time, only 10-30% of the hair on your body is above the surface. When we do Laser Hair Removal, we only get rid of these surface hair follicles. After several weeks (4-8) a new group of hair follicles will have grown out. That’s the best time to come in for your next treatment. Once we have treated all your dormant hair follicles you are done with the laser hair removal for that area.

LASER SMOOTH PRICING

A single session can range anywhere between $50 to $100 depending on the area.

A package of 6 treatments can range anywhere from $250 to $500 depending on the area.

Consultations are free. You can always get a free consultation to see what the best fit for your hair removal needs are. Prices are subject to change and we usually run specials in the summer. Make sure to check our current prices at Laser Smooth Pricing Packages

3 Common Misconceptions About Laser Hair Removal

Laser Smooth Company_Men and laser hair removal

3 COMMON MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT LASER HAIR REMOVAL

It is important to do your homework when it comes to cosmetic procedures. Each process can have misconceptions attached to it. Here are three misconceptions about laser hair removal.

LASER HAIR REMOVAL IS EXPENSIVE

Laser hair removal can cost less than waxing. A single treatment for lower legs starts at only $100 at Laser Smooth Company. If you shop around you find that is more reasonable than most hair removal alternatives. When you consider how much you pay for razors, shaving cream, and other accessories, you could save money by signing up for a a handful of treatments.

LASER HAIR REMOVAL IS PAINFUL

This is another example when laser hair removal beats out the alternatives. Waxing can be very painful, even some threading also requires some endurance. Laser hair removal uses a laser to target roots and leaves the surrounding cells undisturbed. On a scale of one through ten (ten being the most painful), most clients feel a one or two at most. While some do not feel any pain the pain intensity that others may feel is equivalent to the sting you might get from a rubber band snap.

LASER HAIR REMOVAL TAKES TOO LONG

The time on the table during laser hair removal can be as little as 3-5 minutes for underarms. Larger areas, like the back or legs, can take 25-35 minutes. Not long at all. While each person is different, you may want to come in for multiple treatments. The reason is at any one time, only 10-30% of your hair is on the surface. We will need to schedule repeat visits to remove all the dormant hair follicles. Most clients are done with the treatment area within 3-6 visits.

3 Reasons To Finally Get Laser Hair Removal

Laser Smooth Company_Upper_lip

Why do people choose laser hair removal over waxing, shaving and plucking? The usual answer is to save time and money. There are other benefits too. Below are the top three reasons people decide to get laser hair removal instead of the hair removal alternatives like waxing and shaving.

Save Time and Money with Laser Hair Removal

Over the course of a year you can spend hundreds of dollars on razors, disposable razors blades or refillable razors. This also includes all the other accessories like shaving cream. Plus those hairs grow back which means you have to go through the whole process over and over taking time and money. Laser hair removal is permanent, you won’t get those porcupine prickles ever again.

Laser Hair Removal is Really Good for the Environment

As we all become more conscious about impacting the environment we try and make small adjustments wherever we can. Those disposable razors and the packaging for the accessories end up in the dump. They also have a large carbon footprint when you think about manufacturing, distribution and shipping. It is not just the products that produce waste. When you shave in the shower you are using more water. Every minute in the shower equals about 2.5 gallons of water. Laser Hair removal could make a huge impact on the environment.

Laser Hair Removal is the Least Painful Method of Permanent Hair Removal

Kudos to the tough ones who endure the waxing, plucking and threading every two weeks or more, but it doesn’t have to be that way. There may be a slight sting at the higher levels, but compared to alternative methods of hair removal, laser hair removal is the least painful.  No more surprise knicks in the shower or in-grown hairs.

3 Vitamins To Support Healthy Skin This Summer

Laser Smooth Company_Protect Your Skin This Summer With These 3 Tips-1

Don’t let the constant risk of sunburn or the dehydration threaten your skin this summer. In addition to your daily protection rituals (sunscreen, moisturizer), make sure you are getting plenty of these vital nutrients that support healthy skin, hair, and nails.

Vitamin C — Vitamin C helps fight UV damage and is critical to the production of collagen and the maintenance of healthy blood vessels in the skin.

Vitamin E — Vitamin E is an antioxidant which can protect you against the many free radicals you encounter every day in the environment. These free radicals can break down collagen in the skin, so antioxidants are imperative to healthy skin.

Vitamin A — Vitamin A speeds cell turnover, allowing dead, dull skin cells to slough off and allowing healthy new cells to surface. Vitamin A can be found in carrots, pumpkin, sweet potato, kale, butternut squash, but be wary of the topical versions of this vitamin, for some cause significant skin irritation.

If you have been considering laser hair removal, let these recent reviews nudge you in the right direction; which happens to be towards our doors.

Nikki M from Gresham says,

“Kim is awesome. Bottom line, she’s rad. I want basically no hair below my eyelashes, and over the last nine months or so she’s made that happen in an affordable, pain-free way. I’ll keep coming back until there’s nothing left to zap!”

TJ R from Happy Valley says,

“I had my first session 2 weeks ago.  Kim worked on some sensitive areas and was very professional and made me feel at ease.  She told me that more hair would fall out over the next few weeks and it has.  I’m very pleased so far.”

Ashley E of Gresham says,

“Kim is the best at what she does!!! After months of going back and forth on whether or not this was something I wanted to do, I finally made the decision to give laser treatment a try for some unwanted hair and within just one treatment (I did a Groupon for 6) I noticed a HUGE difference! Usually, my hair grows within 2-3 days but after my first treatment, the hair has just now started to faintly come in after two weeks! Huge huge improvement and I’m so happy!! Kim is amazing at what she does and is incredibly sweet! She offers great advice and listens to what you want to get out of these sessions as well, I felt very well taken care of and comfortable with her.”

Swimming and Skincare – What You Need To Know

Laser Smooth Company_Planning Your Laser Hair Removal Treatments

In Oregon, when summer arrives, we evacuate our canopied neighborhoods and travel en mass to our favorite rivers, swimming holes, and mountain view lakes. While the chlorinated swimming pools that sporadically dot suburban homes and community centers have their own negative effects on skin, the freshwater glacial pools we choose to submerge our overheated bodies in have their own skin transgressions to beware of. Keep the following health precautions in mind in your quest to dip yourself in a cool pool or other water destination this summer.

Beware of Pollutants and Pesticides

In areas where farmland and natural water features merge, use caution. Not only are these waterways more inclined to be contaminated with feces, there are concerns around contamination via pesticides. Stick to established, protected swimming areas and you’ll be protecting more than just your skin.

Use Sun Protection

Glacier streams can be refreshing on super hot summer days, but make sure to absolutely slather yourself in sunscreen when having a relaxing float day. The chill of the cool water can give you a false sense of security as the sun reflects off placid waters, exposing you to a strong dose of UVA and UVB rays.

Stay Hydrated

Remember to stay hydrated. Swimming requires a fair amount of exertion, and crystal clear waters won’t replace your vital moisture, even by osmosis, so stay super hydrated and enjoy your summer swim.

Hair Removal 101- Which Type is Right For You?

Laser Smooth Company_Hair-removal_comparison

There are many ways to remove unwanted hair from your body — but how does one choose the perfect method for their particular needs? Hair removal may conjure images of bikini models, but the reality is that unwanted body hair appears in far more areas than just the ones that bathing suits cover. Unwanted hair can affect self-esteem, self-perception, and even a person quality of life. But finding the correct method of removal can be a challenge.

Shaving

This temporary method of hair removal can require daily treatment and result in skin irritation. It is not permanent and it over the years it can become shockingly costly.

Waxing

For those folks whom permanent hair removal is not a necessity, but would enjoy a longer-term result, waxing is optimal. Eyebrows, bikini areas, and any other body parts susceptible to grooming trends benefit from waxing.

Laser Hair Removal

The success of laser hair removal depends upon a number of variables, such as hair and skin pigmentation, as well as coarseness of hair. Multiple treatments are needed in order to disable each batch of hair as it enters the anagen phase of growth. Laser hair removal is perfect for people struggling with unwanted body hair.

Grooming Trends For Summer 2018

Laser Smooth Company_Safe_and_effective

Just like fashion trends, grooming trends change with each season, each year, and each generation. This summer’s most popular “down there” grooming trends are no exception. For bikini wearers, brief enthusiasts, or nude bathers, consider each of these trends, but ultimately just do what feels best for you.

Neat and Natural

Many folks have simply aged out of the trend of an all bare pubic area, but maintaining a neatly trimmed mons is still a necessity, particularly in the summer when bathing suits can reveal all. For folks in this category, laser hair removal to keep stray hairs from creeping past your suit’s reach may be a good option.

Bare Down There

A bald bikini area may not be for everyone but if it’s for you, there’s no better option than laser hair removal. Waxing and shaving are temporary solutions that often lead to ingrown hairs and skin irritation. Laser hair removal will ensure a neat, smooth pubic area with none of the same side effects as waxing, sugaring, or shaving.

Playboy Throwback

A simple landing strip, made popular by early 90s erotica, is a perfect balance of coverage and sleekness. Laser hair removal ensures a neat, clean strip without obtrusive ingrown hairs or uncomfortable irritation.
