Laser Hair Removal Miami: Q & A

COPYRIGHT. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Many of us have unwanted or unsightly hair growth in areas such as the neck, arms, breasts, back and other areas. This often leaves people self-conscious about going to the beach and wearing shorts, or a bathing suit. So many of us spend time removing unwanted hair via methods such as shaving, tweezing or waxing which only yield temporary results.

However, laser hair removal is an effective and permanent reduction solution to this often bothersome problem. Benefits of Laser Hair Removal: Lasers target hair follicles and eliminate or significantly impede hair from growing back. This is a quick, virtually painless procedure, and the patients are able to return to their normal activities soon after treatment. With the increasing popularity of laser hair removal, it is important that the prospective patient research and understand different issues like what the procedure can and cannot treat, inherent risks, costs, and other factors.

Some important elements you should understand regarding laser hair removal include the following:

 Who would best represent an ideal candidate for Laser Hair Removal?

Any person looking to remove unwanted body hair would represent an ideal candidate for laser hair removal. There are many reasons why a person wants to undergo this procedure.

Even though reasons vary from person to person, the more common include:

 • Enhancing appearance and boosting self-confidence • Becoming less self-conscious about their appearance

• Achieving smoother looking skin • Saving time and money on temporary hair removal practices (i.e. shaving, cutting, waxing).

 How is Laser Hair Removal Performed?

The length of the procedure varies from a few minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the area. A laser produces a beam of highly concentrated light. During the laser hair removal procedure, the light emitted by the laser passes through the skin and gets absorbed by the pigment located in the hair follicles. The laser pulses long enough to vaporize the pigment, disabling several follicles at a time. This results in eliminating or significantly hindering any hair growth in the treated area. For most patients, multiple sessions are usually needed to optimize results. Patients need to wait about a year to see the full effect of the laser hair removal. This is due to the fact that hair grows in 3 different cycles and therefore treatments have to be spaced out about 4-6 weeks apart.

How Much Pain is Associated with Laser Hair Removal?

Patients report the pain level associated with laser hair removal is usually about like a rubber band snapping on the skin. For those who are sensitive to pain, topical anesthetics will make the procedure more comfortable. The wonderful benefit of having your treatments performed at Miami Laser Hair Removal is that we utilize the CoolGlide technology which uses a cooling handpiece which glides on your skin and cools off the treated area.

Are African-Americans or dark skinned individuals good candidates for laser treatments?

THAT DEPENDS!!! The only laser technology approved by the FDA and proven to effectively and safely treat dark pigmented skin is the CoolGlide technology. Miami Laser Hair Removal is proud to be South Florida’s pioneer in treating dark or African-American skin.

What Are The Long Term Affects of Laser Hair Removal?

The effects of laser hair removal can be permanent, but there is no guarantee. The result of the treatment does not necessarily mean the area will be completely devoid of hair. While permanent hair removal can occur, the procedure may simply result in reducing the amount of hair in the treated area, or it can lighten the color of the hair and decrease its thickness. Results vary from patient to patient.

What Are the Risks and Limitations of Laser Hair Removal?

While laser hair removal is a minimally invasive procedure, the procedure is not totally free from risks. Patients may experience some short-term side effects, which are usually minor. These conditions may include slight reddening of the skin or local swelling that goes away within a few days. While laser hair removal offers many benefits, it may not be for everyone. The procedure may not work on certain hair colors. The procedure doesn’t seem to work very well on light-haired people, whose hair contains little melanin. Activity limitations, are not a factor with laser hair removal. Patients can go back to work and return to normal activities soon after treatment. Limited sun exposure is recommended for a few days because the treated area will likely be sensitive.

 The Five Top Questions Potential Laser Hair Removal Patients Should Ask:

To better educate the patient about laser hair removal, as well as assisting in formulating realistic expectations, it is recommended that the patients should get answers to the following questions:

1. Are the desired results I described realistic?

2. Are lasers my best option for hair removal?

3. Where is the laser hair removal performed and how long will it take?

 4. What type of laser do you use for your procedure?

5. How much does laser hair removal cost ?

One final note, keep in mind that CoolGlide utilized at Miami Laser Hair Removal is the only laser technology approved by the FDA to treat men and women of all skin colors without causing any discoloration to the skin.

Hi, my name is Eva Taub and I am the owner of MIAMI LASER HAIR REMOVAL located in BAY HARBOUR ( Miami Beach).

SAFE AND EFFECTIVE LASER HAIR REMOVAL FOR AFRICAN-AMERICAN SKIN

Written by: MIAMI LASER HAIR REMOVAL & BAY HARBOUR MED SPA
http://www.miamilaserhairremoval.com/

Are you a black male or female that suffers from unwanted facial and body hairs?
Is you skin suffering from bumps, ingrown hairs and mostly darker discoloration?
Is shaving painful that leaves you with bleeding open wounds?
Are you a female that is hiding her face under a ton of make -up to cover up the excessive facial hair growth?
Are you a female that has body hair where you do not think a woman should have hairs growing?
Are you vastly overweight with heavy and painful menstrual cycles?
Are you gaining weight even though you do not eat as much?
Are you tired most of the time during the day?

If your answer is YES to any and or all the above questions then you found the right place for your problems. Miami Laser Hair Removal & Skin Care Clinic in Bay Harbor specializes in dark and black skin color.

With experience in African-American skin of over 30 years Bay Harbour Med Spa and Miami Laser Hair Removal is the only professional skin care practice that can solve your skin problems and unwanted facial body hairs.

Miami Laser Hair Removal Clinic is located in Bay Harbor and has been at the same location for the last 21 years. We proudly and professionally service men and women ( including teenagers accompanied by their parents) with dark and black pigmented skin.

Miami Laser Hair Removal and Bay Harbour Med Spa offers the only FDA approved laser hair removal treatment and machine that will not discolor and or burn dark and black skin. CoolGlide laser technology will gently destroy all the unwanted facial and body hairs.
CoolGlide is the only FDA approved laser for black skin that can treat any part of your body. Be it your face, upper lip, side burns, chin, neck, forehead, ears, chest, areolas, under arms, arms, hands, toes, fingers, buttocks, legs, bikini, and back.

These treatments yield permanent hair reduction, but they are not a one time treatment. Treatments need to be repeated every 4-6 weeks. The reason for this is that human hairs grow in circles and stages. In order for laser to destroy the hair follicles the hair has to be in the growing stage.

The growing stage happens only once every 3 months for about 2 weeks. The rest of the time the hairs go through different cycles of hair growth and cannot be destroyed, only weakened. Therefore, you need to do a series of treatments to destroy the hairs permanently. After each treatment you will see a substantial reduction of regrowth. Ingrown hairs are also going to disappear. Your facial hairs, bumps, curled up ingrown hairs, purple discoloration and painful razor bumps will be totally eliminated. A clearer and more even skin toned face will emerge as soon as you start you laser hair removal treatments.

Miami Laser Hair Removal also has its UNIQUE technique to eliminate most of the discomfort associated with laser hair removal treatments.
Our vast experience in the treatment of black skin will provide you with the most suitable skin care treatments and products for your skin.

Our facials are customized to the need of each individual. For instance, if you have enlarged pores around your nose and cheeks, or very oily bumpy skin, we can treat and eliminate it with our customized abrasions and ultrasonic treatments.

Please remember that black skin is very different then white skin and what is suitable for white skin is not suitable for dark skin. One has to be very careful not to use harsh products and or treatments on dark and black skin as they can create more discoloration. It is also very important to understand that black skin contrary to popular belief needs to be protected from the UVA’s harmful sun rays. It is a misconception to believe that just because your skin is dark you do not need to protect it from the ultra violet rays. Sun block or zinc should be a part of your daily routine. Did you know that there is a steady rise in skin cancer in the black population?

Miami Laser Hair Removal and Bay Harbour Med Spa can safely help you achieve hair free, bump free and acne free skin.
On a final note, PLEASE REMEMBER TO USE SUNSCREEN!

We offer free consultations and free skin care advice. You are welcome to e-mail us with any questions you have at: askaboutskincare@gmail.com.
Even if you do not live in South Florida please feel free to e-mail us and we will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

WHAT IS YOUR SKIN TYPE AND WHICH FACIAL IS BEST SUITED FOR YOU?

     

WHAT TYPE OF SKIN TYPE DO YOU HAVE?
             WHICH SKIN TREATMENT IS RIGHT FOR YOUR SKIN TYPE?

COPYRIGHTED. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Bay Harbour Med Spa located in Bay Harbour ( Miami Beach), Florida helps you to demystify the myths about skin types. Often, when new patients come in to our med spa we have them fill out a patient information sheet prior to their treatment. 9 times out of 10 after reviewing the patient information sheet most of our new patients misdiagnose their skin type.

For the last 30 years we have catered to patients world wide and skin care is our passion. Knowing that there are many consumers out there that are not armed with the right information many of you buy the wrong skin care products or don’t know which treatments will really work to repair your skin problems.

So we’ve decided to take to the web our knowledge of the last 30 years so that when you visit a med spa for a facial, or you go out there and buy products you are armed with the right information and spend your money on what is right for your skin type.

SKIN TYPES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE TREATMENTS:

Normal Skin:
Normal skin is soft, smooth and graceful looking. It’s texture is delicate and presents with little to no blemishes. It is not dry nor oily. It presents with a healthy glow

TREATMENT:

We recommend our signature European Aroma Therapy Facial which utilizes essential oils that are used to sooth, oxygenate, detoxify and hydrate your skin. With the purest of extracts of essential oils your skin and senses will transform into a relaxed state of mind.
If you are not located in South Florida we recommend that you search for a licensed skin care specialist who was trained in Europe or her scope of education was European skin care.

FREQUENCY:
Once every 4 to 6 weeks.

Oily Skin:

Oily skin usually presents with enlarged pores and tends to have blackheads, whiteheads or pimples. Oily skin is a result of our oil glands ( sebaceous glands) over working and producing too much oil. If within a short period of time after washing your face your skin seems shiny again, than you have oily skin.

TREATMENT:

Treatment encompasses two things: Clinical skin treatments combined with at home care using products specifically designed for oily skin.

We highly recommend our Signature Chi Crystal Microdermabrasion: This unique non-invasive progressive treatment utilizes fine crystals which abrade away acne postules, mild scars or enlarged pores.

The Chi Crystal Microdermabrasion facial includes: Cleansing Crystal Microdermabrasion treatment, aroma-therapy steam, massage and deep pore cleansing. Customized organic nourishing mask for the face, neck and chest.
Again, if you are not a S. Florida resident, please search for a reputable med spa clinic that has been in business for a number of years who offers this type of treatment.

FREQUENCY:

Depending upon how oily your skin is will depend on how many treatments you need. We recommend a consultation to give you an exact number of treatments you will need. An estimate, we would recommend between 5-10 treatments spaced out over a week or two.

Problem Skin:

Problem skin usually presents with acne and coarseness as well as blotchiness or blemishes. Blackheads, whiteheads or pimples are usually present as well. Under stress the skin may become more irritated causing redness and some discomfort.

Treatments required may encompass medication and clinical skin treatments. Usually some type of anti-biotics are prescribed and in sever cases Accutane.

TREATMENT:

We highly recommend our Signature Chi Crystal Microdermabrasion: This unique non-invasive progressive treatment utilizes fine crystals which abrade away acne postules, mild scars or enlarged pores.
The Chi Crystal Microdermabrasion facial includes: Cleansing Crystal Microdermabrasion treatment, aroma-therapy steam, massage and deep pore cleansing. Customized organic nourishing mask for the face, neck and chest.
Again, if you are not a S. Florida resident, please search for a reputable med spa clinic that has been in business for a number of years who offers this type of treatment.

FREQUENCY:

Depending upon how oily your skin is will depend on how many treatments you need. We recommend a consultation to give you an exact number of treatments you will need. An estimate, we would recommend between 5-10 treatments spaced out over a week or two.

Combination Skin:

Combination skin is dry with the exception of the T-zone ( forehead and down to the nose). So basically a course of two treatments are needed. A course of treatment for the oily portion and a course of treatment for the dry portion.

TREATMENT:

A combination of our Purifying and Seaweed Facial. A deep pore cleansing and exfoliation treatment concentrated on the T-Zone followed by a cool soothing contouring seaweed mask which will moisturize, tone and defuse redness. The result is a healthy glow to your skin.

FREQUENCY: Every 4 weeks.

Dry Skin:

The appearance will be oil free and lack moisture. Often the skin will appear flaky and dull. There is a tendency for lines around the eyes. Because of a lack of collagen production the texture of the skin will appear fragile with a tendency to flake. The skin lacks hydration and may even have a grayish undertone.

TREATMENT:

First and foremost, your diet. You must drink plenty of fluids. We recommend between 6-8 glasses of water, fresh vegetable juices and ample sleep. However, you must treat your skin clinically.

Bay Harbour Med Spa offers our Signature Ultrasonic Treatment which deposits small specialized pharmaceutical grade molecules of Vitamin A, C and Colostrum which helps to promote collagen fibers and elastin.

FREQUENCY: A personal consultation is recommended.

We realize that many of you reading this article are not South Florida residents, however, we believe that we’ve provided you with enough information to arm yourselves when seeking a skin care specialist. We recommend a European trained or European educated skin specialist who has been in the business for many years. European therapeutic skin care treatments are preferable because the trainning is more of a paramedical skin care and the amount of hours and days of trainning are much longer to attain licensure.

WAXING…. AN ANCIENT HAIR REMOVAL METHOD

BAY HARBOUR MED SPA ( MIAMI BEACH) FULL BODY WAXING SERVICES

THE HISTORY OF BODY WAXING: AN ANCIENT METHOD USED FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS

The quest for a hair-free body dates back as early as the caveman era. It is written that thousands and thousands of years ago men shaved their faces using rocks that were sharpened. In the Middle East string was used as a method of hair removal. In ancient Egypt sugar was used to make a waxy substance to remove hair from their bodies, including Cleopatra. The Romans used plucking as a method. Romans used plucking to shape their eyebrows.

As such, through out the years waxing has remained one of the consistent methods to remove hair. Waxing is not a permanent solution, but rather a semi-permanent method. Repeated waxing weakens the root of the hair, thus, the hair grows in finer and finer yielding a smooth feel to the area.

While sugar waxes are still popular in Middle East, today there are waxes used from fruit extracts that are gentler on the skin and cause less pain when pulled with the cloth.

ABOUT LASER TREATMENTS AVAILABLE IN MIAMI TO REMOVE UNWANTED HAIR

 

 

Composed exclusively for: Miami Laser Hair Removal. Duplication is strictly prohibited.

 Q.: How does the CoolGlide laser treatment compare with other hair removal methods?

A.: Shaving, waxing and depilatory creams provide temporary results. The treatment must be repeated on a frequented basis. Electrolysis is tedious, invasive and often painful. It involves inserting a needle a needle into each hair follicle and delivering an electrical charge to destroy them one at a time. Electrolysis often also requires years of treatments at regular intervals. The CoolGlide treatment delivers non-invasive laser light energy to hundreds of hair follicles at one time. In just a few minutes the CoolGlide can effectively treat an area that would take over an hour with electrolysis.

Q.: How does laser work?

A.: Energy from a power source is pumped into the ” lasting medium”- a substance that produces light particles when energized. A laser produces an intense and concentrated beam of light. This beam of light brings energy to the area of treatment through a delivery device such as a hand piece.

Q.: How does the CoolGlide hair removal laser work?

A. The CoolGlide generates intense, long-pulse Nd:YAG light through a hand piece, which effectively disables unwanted pigmented hair follicles, impairing the growth. The laser’s cool hand piece is placed gently on the skin and glides along as pulses of light are delivered from the laser. When the light penetrates the skin, it selectively damages the root of unwanted hair.

Q.: Is laser treatment safe?

A.: Lasers have been in existence for more than thirty-five years and used by a wide range of medical specialists. Since only light is used to remove hair it is totally non-invasive, therefore it does not cause some of the irritations typically found with other hair removal methods.

Q.: What are the CoolGlide laser treatments like?

A.: The CoolGlide hand piece, as the name implies, cools and soothes the skin as it glides along. When the pulse light is delivered, some patients experience a mild, stinging or pinching sensation. No local anesthesia or pain medication is usually required. Some patients prefer a topical anesthetic when sensitive areas are treated. Because the CoolGlide incorporates a large spot and a high rate of energy delivery, treatments are extremely fast and effective.

Q.: Is laser hair removal long-lasting?

A.: Recently released 12 month data indicates the results are both safe and long lasting.

Q.: Are there any side effects?

A.: Short-term side effects include slight reddening of the skin or local swelling. These effects typically are transient.

Q.: How long does the treatment take and how many treatments are required?

A.: After trials and tribulations and our 12 year laser hair removal experience we have concluded that 12 treatments are needed spaced out every 6 weeks. Length of procedures vary.

Q.: Are there any conditions not suitable for CoolGlide hair removal or does the skin color make a difference?

A.: CoolGlide laser has an advantage over the laser hair removal systems because it allows treatment of a wider range of skin types including brown and black skin.
