Laser Hair Removal in Portland
Laser hair removal has become one of the most sought after procedures for removing unwanted hair in the United States. It ranks second in the frequency of procedure carried out, right after wrinkle-relaxing injections. This method of permanent hair removal utilizes highly concentrated laser beams to penetrate into selected hair follicles in order to completely eliminate the hair within that follicle.
A number of lasers have been developed over the past few years and this procedure was previously intended to be used to remove darker hair on light skin. However, latest developments in laser treatment in Portland, OR have made the technology suitable for removing all types of hair on all type skin. Various types of lasers are not used to perform the procedure, including Neodymium YAG, alexandrite, diode and intense pulsed light sources.
WHY CHOOSE LASER TREATMENT FOR REMOVING HAIR?
Laser treatment is an effective way for removing unwanted hair from a number of places, including the armpits, legs, facial hair as well as bikini hair removal, regardless of whether the excessive growth of hair is a result of a medical condition or not. The majority of people who want to have the procedure performed on them will have to undergo a number of sessions, depending on how much hair needs to be removed. The lasers used during the procedure at VIP MEDISPA are FDA certified and completely safe for use.
Depending on each individual case, the results typically last for years to come. Some people who have aggressive hair growth issues will have to undergo occasional maintenance treatments as recommended by Dr. Grishkevich Max.
The best way to find out how many sessions you will need is to consult Dr. Grishkevich Max for free by getting an appointment.

IS THE LASER HAIR REMOVAL SAFE?
When performed by qualified professionals, the laser hair removal procedure is completely safe. To ensure maximum safety, your melanin count will be checked at VIPMEDISPA prior to the treatment to confirm that your skin can be safely treated using this method.
Some people may experience slight side effects such as redness, pink skin or swelling around the areas that were treated – this is nothing to worry about.
HOW LONG DO THE LASER HAIR REMOVAL RESULTS LAST?
There are no permanent hair removal methods available; however, laser hair removal is the most effective that gives long lasting results. This is a method approved by the FDA to remove unwanted hair (facial and body) in a quick and efficient manner with long lasting results. At VIPMEDISPA, our patients usually enjoy an 80 to 90 percent reduction.
The results will vary from one individual to another and you will have to consult Dr. Max to find out how many sessions you will need for optimum results.

WHEN WILL THE LASER HAIR REMOVAL RESULT BE VISIBLE?
Some patients start to see results right after their very first treatment. However, we recommend that you notice the difference after your third session is complete. The laser hair removal treatment starts with the laser let on a low setting, and this is gradually increased as we proceed through the number of sessions. This may cause the results to appear slowly, but it is undoubtedly the most effective way to carry out the procedure to ensure long lasting results.
HOW LONG IS THE WAIT BETWEEN TREATMENTS?
The growth of hair has a three stage cycle: growing, resting and transitional. This is why not all hairs can be treated at the same time. In order to achieve maximum results just like you’ve always wanted, we recommend a gap of 4 to 8 weeks between the laser treatment sessions. The exact time will be made clear when you go to VIPMEDISPA for consultation.
DOES THE LASER HAIR REMOVAL PROCEDURE HURT?
The laser does result in slight discomfort during the procedure. However, most of our patients tell us that the discomfort was much less than they had expected. Laser hair removal provides a comfortable experience as compared to waxing or plucking. A test patch will be performed prior to the full treatment to check whether or not it is within your comfort zone.
CONCLUSION
Laser treatment in Portland, Oregon is a highly efficient way of removing unwanted hair as compared to other methods such as shaving, plucking or waxing. It is also more effective than electrolysis and almost eliminates the down time so you can continue with your daily schedule even after the treatment.
