Light and Dark Hair Removal

ABOUT light and dark hair LASER REMOVAL AT CHRISTINA CLINIC

Quite often, people present to us with light and dark hair that they want to have removed permanently. What we do is create a treatment plan. Typically, we will do the laser first to see what the laser can see. And the laser typically is able to see better, darker hairs. So we first do a treatment that way and then, the following treatments are used with electrolysis, where we’re using a tiny probe to cauterize that root of the hair.

FAQS: LASER HAIR REMOVAL AT CHRISTINA CLINIC

The near-infrared laser light emitted by the system is preferentially absorbed by the pigment located in the hair follicle. The laser is pulsed, or turned on, for only a fraction of a second. The duration of each pulse is just long enough to damage the follicle, while the system’s unique, patented contact-cooling handpiece cools the skin during the laser energy delivery.

Theoretically, damage to the hair follicle can remove unwanted hair permanently, but because of the nature of hair and the many factors that influence the growth of hair, the results are variable. The effect of repeated treatments is cumulative. In fact, most people experience long-term hair removal.

This process performed with a diamond dust-coated wand, is a safe and e ffective technique for improving… chnique for improving…

As with any medical treatment, use of the LightSheer Diode System can have some side effects. However, side effects have been minor and manageable in clinical use. The precise laser parameters used for the LightSheer Diode System were carefully defined by studying the anatomy of the hair follicle and precisely matching the color of laser light and the pulse duration to the size, depth, and location of the hair follicle. This research has resulted in a safe technique that effectively eliminates the risk of scarring and substantially reduces most other complications following treatment.

No treatment to remove unwanted hair is completely painless. The LightSheer Diode System is fast which reduces treatment time. It provides long-lasting hair removal, reducing the need for repeated treatment. The cooling lens helps reduce discomfort while protecting the skin surface from thermal injury during delivery of the laser light. If large or sensitive areas with unwanted hair are to be treated, a topical anesthetic cream may be applied to the site to further reduce discomfort.

Immediately after treatment, the site will be somewhat swollen, appear slightly red in color, and will feel like a mild sunburn. This reaction subsides over a few hours, and then the treated sites usually return to their normal appearance. The amount of discomfort after this procedure is usually minimal and does not limit most normal physical activities. Since light is used to remove the hair, there is no bleeding and no open wound is created. For this reason, there is no need to apply a bandage and wound care is generally not required.

Each pulse of laser energy from the LightSheer Diode System will treat a square area of skin of approximately half an inch (12mm). For this reason, the amount of time required depends on the size of the area requiring treatment. For example, the upper lip and bikini line may require only 5-15 minutes of treatment. While a longer period of time will be required to treat the back or legs.

FAQS: ELECTROLYSIS HAIR REMOVAL

Electrolysis is a hair removal technique that uses electric currents to destroy hair follicles. A fine probe is inserted into each hair follicle, and an electric current is applied, which effectively prevents new hair from growing. The process can be done on various parts of the body, including the face, legs, arms, and bikini area.

The process of electrolysis involves:

  1. Insertion: A sterile probe is inserted into the hair follicle.
  2. Application of Electric Current: A small electric current is passed through the probe, targeting and destroying the hair growth cells within the follicle.
  3. Hair Removal: The treated hair is then removed with tweezers.

Electrolysis is a highly effective method for achieving permanent hair removal. By destroying hair follicles with electric currents, it prevents future hair growth, offering a lasting solution. While multiple sessions are required to address all hair growth phases, the results can be permanent with consistent treatment. There is the possibility of regrowth due to hormonal imbalances or changes, such as those occurring during pregnancy or menopause, can stimulate new hair growth even after electrolysis.

Electrolysis is FDA Approved. Studies have shown that electrolysis does not pose long-term health risks when performed correctly. The electrical currents used are low and localized, making them safe for repeated treatments.

The pain level experienced during electrolysis can vary significantly from person to person due to factors such as pain tolerance, the treatment area, and individual skin sensitivity. Most individuals describe the sensation as a series of quick, sharp stings or tingling feelings. Some compare it to the snap of a rubber band against the skin. No medication or numbing agents are needed. After treatment, you may experience redness, swelling, light scabbing, and sesntivity.

Immediately After Treatment

  1. Redness and Swelling: It’s common for the treated area to appear red and slightly swollen. This is a temporary reaction and usually subsides within a few hours to a day.
  2. Sensitivity: The skin may feel sensitive or tender to the touch. Some people describe the sensation as similar to a mild sunburn.
  3. Pinpoint Scabs: Small scabs may form at the treatment sites. These are part of the natural healing process and should be left undisturbed to avoid scarring.

 

A Few Days After Treatment

  1. Reduced Redness: The redness and swelling should significantly decrease within a day or two.
  2. Healing Scabs: Any small scabs that formed will begin to heal. Avoid picking at them to prevent infection and scarring.
  3. Dryness or Flaking: Some individuals may experience slight dryness or flaking in the treated area. Moisturizing can help manage this.

Individual treatments depend on the area being treated. Sessions can rage to 15 minutes for a small area, such as chin to 2 hours for larger areas like the back or legs.
The total duration to achieve permanent hair removal varies widely but typically ranges from 12 to 18 months. Consistency and adherence to the treatment schedule are key to achieving the best results within this timeframe.

I had a BBL and MicroLaserPeel done at Christina Clinic. The office décor was so inviting, tasteful and relaxing. The new owner did my treatments. She was telling me the clinic is now woman and minority owned and they have lasers for all skin tones. She explained both procedures and what to expect during and after in such great detail. She took the time to discuss my face and customize my treatments. My skin looks amazing and I look much younger. Even my boyfriend noticed. I most definitely will be back.

I have had the best experience at Christina Clinic - especially with Betsy! Betsy is simply the best (however Lynn helped me too and was great and sweet too!). I am doing some laser hair removal and her knowledge, rapport/bedside manner, honesty with realistic expectations and skill is exactly what I want in a clinic. Every employee I connected with, from the front desk...to any other employee I passed by in the lobby were genuinely friendly. Their communication has also been amazing. I accidentally forgot an appointment (even though the sent a reminder text) and she knew the times that worked for me and was able to squeeze me in the next day. I HIGHLY recommend the Christina Clinic!

I came to Christina clinic for my upper lip hair and pimples on my face. I used to have a thick hair on my upper lip and a lot of pimples on my face. I was so embarrassed with my appearance. Then, I came to Christina clinic for Laser hair removal and Skin pen. I could see a great result since my first treatment. Now, I am almost done with my both treatments and feel satisfied. I would recommend this clinic for anyone who has the same problems.

I had been to a different laser hair removal clinic before and had disappointing results. I felt discouraged from laser hair removal clinics but when I came in for my consult appt at Christina Clinic I could instantly knew I came to the right place. From the very start I could tell they genuinely wanted to help get rid of your unwanted hair and werent just there to talk you into getting their packages. Betsy was absolutely fantastic and very attentive to how I was reacting to the treatment. She is super friendly, works around your schedule, and makes you feel comfortable asking questions, (overall awesome person!) thanks to her and the clinic, I saw significantly better results! The staff is extremely professional and kind, and i highly recommend checking them out for your laser hair removal needs:)

I visited the Christina Clinic almost ten years ago, and had an incredible experience. The staff were kind, very informed and experienced and always made me feel comfortable. I have very dark hair and olive skin, and from a very young age I was always self conscious and very aware of (what I thought was excessive as a kid) my darker ‘peach fuzz’ on my face. My eyebrows were thick and very usually (daily) required attention to keep them separate. Painful tweezing, waxing, shaving, the works… I’ve been incredibly pleased with the results, and after ten years, I’m going back to do it all again. … I love this place, and it’s changed my life.

I smoked cigarettes for years and my skin payed the price! Tricia has been doing micro needling on me and I have so much more confidence now! She also set me up with some products that leave my skin literally glowing. She's taken the time to educate me on the benefits of different products and why they would work best for me pertaining to my skin type and my insecurities. Since starting to see Tricia, I've had so many compliments on how great my skin looks now! I can't wait to try other services. I 100% trust her! The location is so clean and beautiful. Everyone was so welcoming and helpful. I found my new home for my skin care. Thanks to Tricia, I'm a new woman!
