" I am glad that I was granted the opportunity to praise this office. Being a person that never felt good about seeing a doctor, I wait with anticipation about seeing Dr. Seymour Weaver and staff. You guys make me feel comfortable and give me hope that my problem will be cured. Most of all, the staff relaxes me with their sweet smile,great sense of humor, and soothing conversation. If I have to complain about anything, it would be that I didn't discover you, your staff, and my treatments any sooner. Keep up the good work!!!!"

Laser Hair Removal – Five Ways It Improves Your Life

Laser hair removal is one of the most commonly performed cosmetic procedures in the world. It involves using a beam of highly concentrated light to target dark hair follicles and destroy them right at the root. Hair removal by laser means no shaving, no tweezing, no waxing. It is easy, quick and convenient and lasts longer than any other hair removal method.

Laser hair removal can literally make your life better. It saves time and money, is convenient, safe, and you will look amazing.

  1. It saves the time you would take to shave, tweeze or wax. Because it lasts longer than any other method, laser removal means you can go longer between treatments, freeing up your time for other activities. Also, since you are not shaving, you are not only saving time, you are saving the money you would be spending on razor blades, shaving creams, etc.
  2. Hair removal by laser is much more convenient than any other method. Seriously, have you ever been waxed? Laser removal is much less painful. It’s also less painful than shaving, and that leads me to point 3.
  3. No shaving means no cuts from blades. You don’t have to worry about getting cut or having blood running down your leg. You also don’t have to worry about missing a spot or anything else you would normally worry about with shaving.
  4. There are no more painful ingrown hairs that are not only unsightly, but can lead to infection. Everyone knows how painful and troublesome that can be, and it always seems to happen at just the wrong time, too.
  5. Perhaps most importantly, you will look fantastic. Your face, neck, underarms and bikini line will be smooth and clear. You won’t have to worry or be self conscious about hair sticking out or presenting unsightly stubble because you didn’t have time to shave.

The speed of the hair removal lasers is super-fast. They can clear an area about the size of a quarter in each second. It takes three to five treatments before most people experience long term hair reduction. Because the treatment targets the roots of the hair, you need to avoid waxing or plucking for approximately four to six weeks before your laser treatment, to ensure that an active hair follicle is present.

Sun exposure can also limit the effectiveness of hair removal because it has a tendency to increase pigment in the outer layer of skin and sometimes make exposed hairs lighter. The laser targets the contrast between dark hair and light skin. The sun can also increase the chance of complications after the procedure, so you should not spend a lot of time in the sun for six weeks before and six weeks after your scheduled treatment.

Laser removal costs more than waxing and other treatments initially, but the cost over a lifetime is well worth the expense. After a series of treatments, hair removal is long lasting , meaning all those other methods you have been using daily, weekly, or monthly are now all things of the past. You will be living an improved life of smooth, hairless bliss.
