Never shave again with Dallas based Advanced Skin Fitness' Laser Hair Removal products and services

Picture yourself no longer having to deal with the discomfort of constantly shaving or plucking unwanted hair. The GentleLASE process, using the latest breakthroughs in Candela laser technology, offers a quick and safe alternative for men, women, those with tanned skin and those with skin of color.

GentleLASE is a revolution in cosmetic science. While other treatments require prohibitive preparation in the form of waxing, needles or other treatments, GentleLASE is easy and low-impact: the process is comfortable and far quicker than other methods.

Most of the usual methods of hair removal only work on a temporary basis, and electrolysis until recently, the only recognized form of permanent hair removal can be time consuming and tedious. But the GentleLASE system safely removes undesirable body hair without causing damage to the skin. Simple procedures like facial and bikini hair removal can be done in ten minutes or less. Larger areas like the legs or back can take longer.

Advanced Skin Fitness's GentleLASE process ensures the quickest, most comfortable procedure in Dallas. Hair Laser Removal has never been safer and easier. There are different treatments depending on skin tone, hair tone and eye color. The GentleLASE alexandrite laser is best suited to those with fair to regular skin, dark to light hair, and brown, blue or green eyes. Those with darker or tanned skin and brown to black eyes are better suited to the GentleYAG. Regardless of skin type, we have the technology to safely remove your hair.

Advanced Skin Fitness offers both these lasing systems, and is one of the few laser centers in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex to offer both male and female laser technician staff.

How it works

The laser hair removal procedure works by killing the blood supply to the hair follicle. Because you have more hair under your skin than above it, and because of the six-week cycle of hair growth, treatments are applied multiple times roughly eight to twelve weeks apart, which can vary depending on area of hair removal and the age and gender of the patient. Women can expect to have on average five to six treatments, while men will likely need more.

An important note: If anyone says they can do the same work in fewer treatments, they are not being honest. It's important to stick to your laser schedule, as deviating from it may necessitate more treatments than originally needed.

Before your treatment

There are a handful of simple steps you must follow to make your treatment as effective as possible. For the GentleLASE alexandrite laser procedure, avoid the sun for four to six weeks beforehand. For the GentleYAG ND:YAG laser, avoid the sun for two weeks. Recent exposure to the sun or to artificial tanning beds will excite the melanin in your skin, which in turn will increase your risk of injury. You should also stop any spray-on tan treatments for a week prior to treatment. Make sure the area to be treated is clean of chemicals or products like makeup, sun block, deodorants or lotions, as these products can diminish the light and heat that penetrates the skin.

And finally, inform your laser hair removal technician of any medications you may currently be taking, as some medications can cause photosensitivity. It's important to repeat this step each treatment, and to inform your laser hair removal technician of any recent sun exposure between the previous treatment and the next one. If you suspect you are pregnant, please tell your technician.

The Procedure

We begin the procedure by first removing any re-growth with a razor, to provide a clean surface and to lessen the chance that new hair prevents your skin from absorbing the laser. We will likely then mark the area to be treated with a marker to make sure we are treating everything desired. Then we will pulse the laser over the marked area. The laser pulse feels like a rubber band snapping against the skin, which is only felt during the pulse and generally doesn't linger after the treatment concludes. After the treatment concludes, we cool the skin, clean up the marker lines and apply lotion as needed. If needed, we can prescribe a topical anesthetic cream for sensitive areas.

Post-Treatment Care

The treated skin will be a tender pink for a few hours to a few days after the treatment, and will feel like a sun burn. If on the rare chance that you experience burning, bruising, scabbing or blistering, contact us for further instructions.

Though hair will look as if it continues to grow after treatment, this is not the case. The hair is actually shedding. In ten days to 2 weeks, the hair will loosen and fall out of your skin.

Again, it is important to stick to your schedule. Missing an appointment may mean more treatments become necessary.
