New York: Williamson Cosmetic Center offers most Advanced Laser Hair Removal

Saturday, February 25th, 2006

Williamson cosmetic center at Baton Rouge offers most safest and advanced laser hair removal services. The process is carried out using Light Sheer Diode Laser System. It is a computer guided mechanism and is capable of disabling hundreds of hair follicles in less than one second. A team of laser scientists from Wellman Laboratories of Photomedicine at Massachusetts General Hospital invented this technique. LightSheer is the latest advancement in this area providing better comfort, speed and accuracy.

The laser’s parameters 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 risks of scarring and substantially reduces most other complications following treatment. LightSheer laser is a precise instrument that can be adjusted to the exact parameters that will disable only the follicle, minimally affecting the surrounding skin.

Using Anesthetic Cream to Facilitate Easy Painless Laser Hair Removal

Wednesday, February 15th, 2006

Usage of an anesthetic cream is not mandatory in all cases of laser hair removal. Some patients might tolerate such pain without using any kind of anesthesia. But for prevention sake a doctor can advice applying topical anesthetic cream prior to treatment. One of the common anesthetic creams used for the procedure is ELMA. This is more required when the skin to be treated is sensitive. Application of anesthetic cream numbs the area where laser hair removal process is to be performed, so that there is less sensation of pain during treatments.

The cream is supposed to be applied about half an hour prior to the procedure and the treatment area needs to be shaved before applying the cream. Time required for treatment depends on area to be treated. Smaller body parts need short time spans while larger parts like legs and back require about an hour. Even after the procedure soothing gels are applied and the patient is asked to relax before being discharged.
