Lasers and light systems don’t actually remove the hair. Instead, they target melanin in the hair, zapping the follicle and stopping further growth. Hair removal lasers and light systems use low-energy settings to gently disable unwanted hair, thus putting an end to routine shaving or waxing. These treatments leave your skin looking and feeling smoother and refined.
Because these systems scan the skin rather than treating one hair at a time, it is possible to treat larger areas such as the back, abdomen, shoulders, arms, legs, face, and neck. Best of all, these advanced hair removal treatments are safe, fast, gentle, and effective.
Because laser hair removal targets the pigment in the hair, patients with darker skin should take care of what type of laser hair removal system they choose. Patients with lighter skin and darker hair seem to have the most satisfactory results. Patients with no more melanin in the hair (gray or white) will likely require alternative treatment. Dr. Coville will discuss all your hair removal options during your comprehensive consultation at one of our New Jersey offices in Toms River or Linwood, NJ.
The refinement and precision engineering of modern laser hair removal systems means your treatment is as comfortable as it’s ever been. With bigger spot sizes, we can treat even large areas — like the chest, back, or legs—in under an hour, or sometimes even faster. Most patients liken the light pulses of laser energy to a rubber band snapping against the skin, and the Cynosure Icon Max R employs cooling technology to make your treatment even more comfortable.
These modern technologies provide many benefits, including:
There is very little downtime with laser hair removal. It’s best to avoid exposure to heat sources (hot showers, hot tubs, saunas, and sunlight) for a few days following your appointment.
Hair exists in three phases of growth, and the Cynosure Icon MaxR laser can only target hairs in the active growth phase. Because of this, not all the follicles in your treatment area can be affected at once.
As treated hairs begin to thin and shed, new growth will occur as dormant follicles transition into the active phase. As a result, most patients need several treatments to achieve full-coverage hair removal. Cornerstone Plastic Surgery & Aesthetic Medicine in Atlantic County bundles treatments into packages to make this more affordable, so you get the most convenient treatment option for your unique needs.
Most patients experience shedding follicles after the first treatment with more visible thinning after the 3rd treatment. We require these appointments to be scheduled 3-4 weeks apart for proper healing between sessions.
