At Baxt CosMedical, we have two different laser hair removal methods: a laser and an intense pulsed light source. We will work with you to determine which is best for your hair and skin type.
The concept of removing unwanted hair from various areas on the body, quickly, easily, effectively and with minimal discomfort, has been a dream for many people. Through the use of medical lasers and intense pulsed light, this is no longer a concept, but a reality.
The Intense Pulsed Light (IPL Hair Removal) or Laser emits light at a wavelength that is targeted at melanin in the hair follicle. Melanin is the material that gives color to our skin and hair. Therefore, the ideal candidate for this procedure would have "light skin and dark hair". It is important not to have a tan while being treated with most lasers. However, the intense pulsed light can be used safely on dark skin.
It is important to understand the hair growth cycle to appreciate how this technology works. At any given time, a certain percentage of hairs are in the "resting" phase. The laser will not be effective on these hairs, which is why multiple treatments will be necessary in each area for the maximum result. Subsequent treatments can be done as soon as further hair growth appears. Due to the variation in the number of hairs in the resting phase, certain parts of the body will respond more rapidly and others take much longer to show the effects.
It is important that each patient interested in laser hair removal be properly evaluated prior to laser or light treatment for hair removal and we look forward to doing this with you.
Smoothbeam is here! For those of you waiting for a "no downtime" approach to treating wrinkles or acne - we have the laser for you! Smoothbeam is FDA approved for treating acne and was originally FDA approved for treating wrinkles. Smoothbeam is a diode laser that is absorbed by the water in the undersurface of the skin. It shrinks the oil glands and gets rid of acne cysts and bumps. It remodels the collagen underneath the skin and minimizes wrinkles. We recommend 3-5 treatments, on a schedule of one treatment approximately every 3 weeks. We can't wait to see you to discuss what Smoothbeam can do for your skin. We love it and we're sure you will too!
Pulsed Dye Laser or VBeam is our latest addition to our laser surgery center. It works great to remove or reduce blood vessels, rosacea and redness on the face and neck. VBeam is also great for sun spots, freckles, and leg veins.
