Going to the beach, swimming at the local pool, and playing sports while shirtless will never be the same again once we remove all of your unwanted hair. Women who count on us to remove the hair from their legs often complain that they are tired of the hassle of shaving, the pain of waxing, and the creams that are temporary solutions. Temporary Hair Removal Methods Hair removal can be achieved through depilation (removing part of the hair above the skin's surface) or epilation (removing the entire hair). For many Marietta, GA. residents, traditional hair removal techniques, such as shaving, plucking, waxing and depilatory creams provide only temporary relief. Until now, the only recognized way to remove hair permanently has been by electrolysis; which can be tedious, time-consuming and uncomfortable. And other hair removal lasers could not always be used effectively on well-tanned or darker skin.Long-term Hair RemovalIn just 30 Minutes or less you can free yourself from the everyday shaving routine. At Astoria Medical Spa, we exclusively use the Candela GentleYAG laser (the fastest, most effective hair removal laser on the market today). Candela sets the industry standard for laser hair removal in speed, efficacy, and affordability. Only Candela lasers feature the Dynamic Cooling Device (DCD) for maximum client comfort. Candela products areFDAapproved hair removal for all skin types. Many centers use only an intense pulsed light (IPL), which is not as effective as a true laser, requiring many more treatments for the same effect.While the number of hair removal treatments may vary from person to person, the time between treatments will be the same for all individuals, but may differ depending on treatment areas. Our hair grows faster in some areas than it does in others which means that our hair growth cycles are different depending on the body area. Areas like the face need to be treated every four to six weeks apart while areas like the legs need should be treated about eight to twelve weeks apart. Treatment schedules will be based on different areas of the body and must be followed exactly in order to see effective results.

Frequently Asked Questions How Does The Laser Hair Removal Work? Laser treatment targets the dark color of the melanin pigment in the hair follicle. The light energy passes harmlessly through the skin, but is absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicle and hair shaft. By absorbing this laser energy, the hair follicles are disabled, impairing their ability to grow. The laser is effective on hair follicles in the "Anagen" phase, which is the active growth phase of hair follicles. Not all follicles are in the growth phase of the cycle at the same time. Thus, leaving treatment times strategically spaced over the course of the hair cycles. However, individual hair growth phases vary. Most facial hair goes through an active growing phase every 4-6 weeks and non-facial hair every 8-12 weeks. Does Laser Hair Removal Hurt?Some patients may feel a slight discomfort with each laser pulse, sometimes described like the snapping of a rubber band on the skin. This discomfort resolves quickly and is minimized by Candela'sDCDcooling. For some patients, a topical anesthetic may be used prior to treatment. Be sure to discuss this with your practitioner.How Many Sessions Will I Need?The number of sessions depends on the treatment you require and the condition of your skin. For hair removal, multiple treatments are required, as the process is most effective when the hair follicle is in its active growth phase. Other conditions may clear up in only one treatment, but many factors impact the efficacy of individual laser treatments, including the severity of the condition being treated.How Do I Prepare My Hair Removal Treatment?Marietta patients schedule for hair removal should avoid plucking, electrolysis or hair waxing approximately four to six weeks prior to treatment. If you have a history of herpes simplex virus and are scheduled for laser treatment, prophylactic antiviral therapy may be prescribed. Also, your skin should be clean-shaven, and your skin should be thoroughly cleansed and dried, removing any makeup, creams, oils, topical anesthetics or self-tanning products before laser treatment. The intended treatment area should not be exposed to sunlight or tanning booth light for 14 days prior to treatment. Before laser treatment, prevents sun exposure by applying sunblock (SPF30 or above).
