About Us:
Cheryl's has contributed over 28 years of permanent hair removal service as well as over 14 years of permanent cosmetic treatments to the Buffalo, NY area. Our center is dedicated to providing up to date and accurate information concerning any and all hair removal and permanent cosmetic needs. After visiting our site, we hope you will have a better understanding of Laser Hair Removal, Electrolysis and Permanent Cosmetic procedures!
We would like to inform you that laser hair removal is not permanent by itself. The most laser hair removal can provide is permanent hair reduction. This means long term hair removal. But when you combine laser hair removal and then follow up subsequent treatments with electrolysis you can obtain a permanent result in a fraction of the time.
Our observations of laser hair removal have been quite remarkable. The reduction in re-growth after a laser treatment has actually surpassed our expectations. Not only does the client save time by having the laser, they also save money. The plain and simple truth of our Laser Procedure versus electrolysis is that for every 2 minutes of laser treatment it could take up to 2 hours of electrolysis depending on the efficiency of the electrologist.
Women's forearms could take as much as 15 to 20 hours to clear with electrolysis, now with the laser your treatment time will be cut down to 20 to 40 minutes. Men's backs with electrolysis, 75 to 150 hours to clear the area one time. With the laser 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Women's upper lips with electrolysis 15 to 60 minutes. With the Laser approximately 10 to 20 seconds to clear the upper lip one time.
Please don't misunderstand, both electrolysis & laser hair removal each have distinctive value to rid unwanted hair. Most laser's of today are still not capable to treat white, gray, or light blonde hairs. These hairs do not have enough pigment to attract the laser light. In these cases electrolysis is the only answer for permanent hair removal. Also red hair is in the red spectrum of light which the ruby and alexandrite lasers utilize. Therefore the laser light will not see the red hairs.
Also at the end of the laser cycle of treatments (usually 3 to 8 treatments over 12 to 24 months) you may still have some scattered re-growth. At this time you may only need a couple of 15 to 30 minute sessions of electrolysis to clear the area. Larger area's may need more time and smaller area's will need less time. Each case will be different because each individuals hair growth is different. Laser Hair Removal and Traditional Electrolysis can and should work hand in hand with each other. It also should be noted that previous methods of hair removal could add additional laser treatments to the cycle. For instance, people who have waxed or tweezed area's will need more laser treatments than someone who has not tampered with the hair. Waxed and tweezed hairs grow deeper and thicker each time the hair is pulled out.
The laser provides speed. Using the laser for the first three to eight treatments then following up with electrolysis means both quick and permanent hair removal. We can say permanent hair removal because at the end of the laser cycle we will be using electrolysis treatments to rid the scattered re-growth. Another advantage of using the laser is that after your first treatment you will not have to be retreated from 6-13 weeks. After this time you will have your second treatment. You should be able to go 7 1/2 weeks up to 18 weeks. After the third treatment, you will go anywhere from 9 weeks to 20 weeks. If a fourth treatment is necessary, you will go 11 to 26 weeks and be re-evaluated. Electrolysis may be able to clean up the scattered re-growth or you might need another laser treatment. There are contributing factors. Everybody’s hair growth is different. As an example, after your first treatment you will go 6 to 13 weeks before re-treatment. The six-week interval is usually for tweezed hairs, waxed hairs, hairs that have been tampered with, ripped out at the root. First, those hairs generally when they re-grow they grow thicker and deeper into the skin therefore they will take longer to get under control. Second, because they are a thicker hair they are going to re-grow faster. We have had patients who have gone 13/14 weeks after one laser treatment. And we have had patients that have only gone 4/5 weeks. Again everyone’s hair growth is different and these are just general guidelines that we have observed over the past 4 1/2 years of treating patients with the laser and electrolysis.
