Got unwanted hair? Try Pittsburgh Laser Hair Removal.

Acqua Blu Medical Spa and Plastic Surgery offers Pittsburgh laser hair removal to their patients. Many individuals have an excess of body hair on specific body regions. This excess can be eliminated with this technique. Common areas to have Pittsburgh laser hair removal performed include the face, back, legs, underarms, and bikini line. No more shaving, waxing or embarrassing hairiness after a series of treatments by Acqua Blu physician assistants and laser specialists.

The way that this treatment works is with a beam of intense light which is pressed against skin where hair removal is desired. The light only needs to be placed against the skin for a moment for the process to take place. This beam of energy causes the follicles to be destroyed. A follicle is where hair growth originates and without it, the region will become hairless and smooth. Because growth occurs in cycles, it will take approximately four to six months of treatments before a near permanent and complete removal will be achieved.

Patients must be careful to protect the treated area from the sun. A broad-spectrum UVA/UVB sunscreen of SPF 30 is required during the course of treatments and thereafter. Results and time frame will vary somewhat depending on a person’s complexion, hair texture and re-growth patterns. Following each Pittsburgh laser hair removal appointment, the patient will may experience mild redness, some swelling and a bit of discomfort in the region, but these side effects are temporary and last a few hours following treatment.
