Banish Unwanted Body Hair Before Summer With Laser Hair Removal
It can be quite a dilemma: The more often you dress for hot weather and the beach, the more time you need to spend removing unwanted hair from the parts of your body you reveal in shorts or a swimsuit. Summer should be about having fun and feeling free, not waxing, shaving, and tweezing.
If you’re ready to maximize the warm and beautiful summertime, Vectus® laser hair removal technology gets rid of your hair quickly and effectively. Richard Blanchar, MD at Bayview General Medicine & Aesthetics in Fort Lauderdale, Florida uses the Vectus laser to banish your unwanted hair, so you’ll have more time to enjoy the sunshine.
Start treatments with Dr. Blanchar now to have hair-free legs, underarms, chest, or face before your first trip to the pool or beach.
Laser hair removal technology you can trust
Some of the biggest frustrations with traditional hair removal methods like shaving, waxing, tweezing, or depilatory creams is that though you can usually rely on them to get rid of some hair, the results are temporary, and the process isn’t always pleasant.
Laser hair removal technology, in contrast, offers results that are long-lasting with treatments that are safe.
The Vectus laser hair removal system works by targeting the hair follicle and destroying the cells responsible for hair growth. Over time, your hair will become finer and thinner until it’s almost gone for good.
Plus, you can trust the Vectus laser to effectively reduce the appearance of your hair even if you have a darker skin tone, and it removes hair in multiple areas of your body, including:
- face
- underarms
- chest
- back
- legs
- bikini area
Your skin will be smooth and beautiful, and you’ll be ready to show it off in your best warm-weather outfits.
Treatments that save you time
An extra 10 minutes in the shower to shave? A trip to the aesthetician for weekly waxing? A daily tweeze here and there? Smelly, messy, at-home hair removal with depilatory creams? These sorts of hair removal treatments are exactly how you don’t want to spend your summer.
Dr. Blanchar develops a customized treatment plan that will maximize your hair loss, while minimizing the time you need to spend thinking about your stubborn hair. He usually recommends three to six total treatments with the Vectus system that are no more than an hour long each, depending on your total treatment area and hair thickness.
After your treatment cycle is complete, you won’t have to worry about your hair anymore. Results can last for months or even years, and any hair that does grow back will be much finer and less noticeable than before.
Safe procedures with minimal discomfort
Laser hair removal therapy is a safe procedure and may even seem kinder to your skin than the depilatory methods you’re accustomed to using. The laser targets your hair follicle without damaging the surrounding skin and dramatically decreases painful and unsightly ingrown hairs and rashes.
Procedures are also nonsurgical and noninvasive, with no lengthy preparations or recovery and no major risks. The most important safety measure for treatments is wearing safety glasses to protect your eyes from the intense, effective laser technology.
Most people who have laser hair removal with the Vectus device say that the laser may feel slightly uncomfortable, similar to tingling or the snapping of a rubber band, but that treatment is not painful.
You’ll be able to return to your day as usual when your session ends, but to avoid any potential side effects, you should protect your skin from direct UV light and wear sunscreen.
If you’re ready to banish unwanted body hair before summer, now’s the time to ask Dr. Blanchar about laser hair removal. Call or request an appointment online today.
