Warm weather usually leads us to pull out our sleeveless shirts, sundresses and shorts and bare just a little more skin. While most only worry about losing a little weight or showing off a tan during this time, many of us forget about maintaining our body hair, which can be much more unflattering than any exposed dimple in the thigh.
With Daireds Med Spa laser hair reduction, finding fast and easy results in diminishing unattractive body hair is easy. The procedure is simple and well suited for virtually any area, including the legs, arms, chin, bikini area and more. Even the annoying hair on the tops of the toes and feet can be gone, a must when wearing summertime strappy sandals and wedges.
Laser hair reduction usually consists of five or more treatments at four to six week intervals. In order to achieve maximum results, more than one treatment is required to ensure the hair follicles are disabled. Daireds client Terry Eaton purchased a six treatment package for her laser hair removal. The Dalworthington Gardens resident and regular Daireds Salon hair client decided to try the treatment for the area above her lips.
“I’ve always had to bleach my upper lip,” Terry said. “I have dark hair and pale skin and the hair is very noticeable unless I keep it bleached. I never liked the idea of waxing, and as I have gotten older I have noticed it grows back much more frequent and rapid.”
Terry was treated by Lynda Valdez, Nurse Practitioner at The Med Spa at Daireds, who first performed an evaluation and conducted a survey to provide a recommendation of the quantity of treatments. Terry said after the initial appointment, each treatment now only takes five minutes at most.
“It’s much less maintenance,” Terry said. “Before, I would have to bleach every two to three weeks. Plus it just looks better. Even when you bleach you can still see the blond hairs, so it still didn’t feel clean.”
Terry said her treatments are so easy and convenient, she schedules her appointments for the same time she visits Daireds Salon for her hair styling. As far as how the procedure feels?
“It’s uncomfortable, but it’s just instantaneous,” she said. “It’s like a pin prick, but the pain disappears very quickly. By the time you’re done there’s no lingering pain at all.”
After only three treatments, Terry said that her hair growth was down at least 25 percent, growing back much slower and much thinner. She said she understood why one treatment would not be sufficient to completely stop the growth.
“I’m very pleased with the results,” she said. “I would now consider doing my underarms and legs, as well.”
Although shaving, waxing, and tweezing may temporarily remove unwanted hair, while potentially leaving stubble, irritation and red bumps behind, laser hair reduction keeps the hair from coming back altogether, while maintaining a smooth, soft surface. Contact The Med Spa at Daireds to schedule a consultation, and ensure that warm temperatures reveal only your best features, not unsightly body hair.
