If you are thinking of saying goodbye to unwanted hair once and for all, here we disprove some beliefs and myths that we all constantly ask ourselves at some point.
- Is laser hair removal painful?
Unlike other methods to remove bodily or facial hair from the root such as wax, depilatory creams or rakes, the application of the laser is much more comfortable. Today, technology makes treatments more comfortable for patients every day. At POLANCO we use the exclusive Air Cooling System, which refreshes the skin by applying cold air to the treated area. Thus, the patient hardly notices the shots of light, and the duration of each session is reduced.
2. Is laser hair removal dangerous?
The laser acts on the hair follicle and destroys it, without affecting any other part of the body or the skin. However, for any treatment to be safe and effective, it is very important that it is carried out by certified and experienced people, such as those who will assist you at POLANCO. In conclusion, the laser does not generate radiation that accumulates in the body, and you can be sure that it will not affect your health. Therefore it is a safe method.
3. Is thick hair is more difficult to remove?
This is another false myth, it is the exact opposite! Laser hair removal is more optimal in people with dark and thick hair because it contains a higher amount of melanin. By doing an initial assessment we can determine which treatment and parameters are better suited to your skin and thus know how many sessions are recommended for optimal results. That is why at POLANCO, for optimal results, we use a Duo laser, which is a combination of two high-power lasers suitable for all types of skin and hair, whose effectiveness is greater than when using diode lasers or separated lasers.
4. Is Laser hair removal not suitable for dark skin?
Fake. Laser hair removal is safe for all skin types only when you have the correct technology which we have at POLANCO. This is the ND: Yag laser and it is the only laser that is 100% safe for dark skin since it is the laser with greater penetration (up to 4mm deep) which allows the laser to focus on the root of the hair and not on the surface of the skin avoiding burns on dark skin. Do not put your skin at risk with other inexperienced centers that do not personalize the treatment and parameters of the laser according to your skin. Remember that cheap ends up being costly.
5. Is it true that some parts of the body cannot be treated with laser?
Actually, it is possible to treat any part of the body. Either full legs, half legs, back, abdomen, armpits, arms, buttocks or even opt for a full body. In addition, laser hair removal is effective for areas that cannot be treated using other methods, due to allergic reactions or other dermatological problems, such as skin blemishes, cysts, folliculitis, or other conditions. The most important thing is to carry out a good assessment of the circumstances of each patient, in order to obtain an optimal result.
6. Is Laser hair removal expensive?
Enough with doing numbers to see all the important savings that you would do in the medium and long term with other techniques for
removal of facial and body hair. Comparing the cost of what you invest in waxes or creams each year you will see that choosing laser hair removal is cheaper and more profitable in the long run. You will also save time and effort as you never have to worry about unwanted hair again. We can tell you that more than an expense, it should be considered as an investment.
Also at POLANCO Laser Center you can save more with our offers and promotions that we have every month for you and look the way you always wanted to look, hair-free. If you decide to permanently remove hair, we will assess your case in a personalized way so that you get the best results and enjoy hair-free skin. We also remind you that after the sun and heat of the summer, autumn and winter is the best time to choose this method of hair removal.
