To find out a more accurate cost for your laser hair removal treatment, we encourage you to come in for a private consultation with one of our expert staff members. The cost of your laser hair removal treatment at Suncoast Skin Solutions is going to vary depending on the extent of treatment needed to achieve your desired results. With newer technologies, however, most patients can now be treated, though caution must still be exercised. This is why darker, coarser hairs in paler patients are easiest to remove with laser technology. Early in the evolution of the procedure, patients with Fitzpatrick skin types V or VI (very dark skinned) were not candidates, and even patients with skin types III and IV were at high risk. If this is not the case, the treatment will not be effective, and complications may occur. For the laser to be effective, the hair pigment must be darker than the surrounding skin pigment. The target molecule for the heat absorption is the pigment of melanin of the follicle. This system removes unwanted body hair without damaging the delicate pores and structure of the skin. At Suncoast Skin Solutions, we have the premier laser for hair removal, the GentleLase by Candela.

As a result, hair growth is then impaired without affecting the surrounding tissue. Here, at the follicular level, the laser energy is absorbed and transformed into heat that disables the follicle. Laser hair removal is based on the premise of selective photothermolysis the preferential and selective destruction of the follicular unit, resulting in significant hair reduction in treated areas.īy selecting the correct wavelength of light and then properly adjusting the pulse width, the laser’s light is able to pass, unaffected, through the top layer of skin, and into the deeper dermis, where the hair follicle resides. At Suncoast Skin Solutions, we are proud to use the Candela GentleLase laser hair removal system that targets unwanted hair at each individual follicle for quality results in as few treatments as possible. Laser hair removal is a minimally invasive cosmetic treatment that can reduce hair growth by 98 percent in your desired treatment areas for years to come.
