Laser treatment has recently become a popular method of hair removal from the face and other body parts. Its efficacy and long lasting results has made it a recognized choice even among the dermatology community with most clinics offering this facility. Its success story has grown tremendously in the last two decades.

Laser hair removal treatment is based on targeting dark colors easily, which means it is easier to remove dark hair on light colored skin. Recently though, new laser technologies are working excellently on dark hairs on dark skins or light hairs on light skins. The whole process may take four to six sittings and each sitting may be of maximum two hours, depending on the body area.

This treatment only works on the color identified by the machine and does no harm to the surrounding areas and skin. Nevertheless, the person may undergo slight reactions like redness, itching or soreness after a sitting. One needs to be aware of such consequences before proceeding further.

The success of the treatment lies heavily on the laser operator. Only an experienced and knowledgeable operator will know what type of technology to use on an individual. So it would be wise to check out a certified clinic and a laser operator with experience on your type of skin and hair, before you opt for this type of hair removal method.

The following are the most common areas for laser hair removal treatments:

• Facial hair removal with laser treatment is popular with men and women. Women who have hair above their upper lips or chin or on the sides of their faces prefer this method for easier and quicker relief. Since the face has very sensitive skin, the reactions may be a little painful and last for more than a few days. Therefore, a sitting should be arranged at least 2-3 weeks before any important event coming up in the customer’s life. Even though each sitting may not take more than an hour, facial hair removal treatment may take a number of sittings before there is a complete success. Men often go for this method either because they suffer from razor burns or would rather do away with shaving daily. Some men also need to remove the hair in the ears and find it safer and quicker to do so through laser.
• Chest hair is not a favorite with many men and those who have hair on their chest and wish to be hairless go for the laser treatment. The past method of waxing causes insufferable pain and scars on the chest; but laser treatment has been able to give smooth relief to men with chest hair. Removing coarse hair on the chest may be painful to the person.
• Back hair is another facet of body hair on men and sometimes on women too. Athletes and sports persons must remove hair from their chest and back as a mandatory routine for their professions; but other men also prefer hairless backs and chests. The back hair has a tendency to grow back fast and need expert attention – waxing on one’s own is impossible and regular parlor waxing sessions may turn out to be extremely costly. A laser hair removal treatment on the back may take not more than fifty minutes to one hour and have a longer lasting effect compared to waxing. The cost and time will also depend on the area and growth of hair on the back – it could be a portion of the back or the full back. Women who have hair growth on their backs find this method swifter and smarter and cost effective compared to traditional waxing.
• Underarm hair is common in men and women and cause perspiration and bad odor. Besides, women shy from wearing smart sleeveless clothes in summer due to this hairy growth in their underarms. Laser treatment removes the hair from the underarms in less than an hour and most often the process is permanent. One such treatment can remove the unwanted hair from under the arms forever.
• Bikini and leg hair are the other common areas for laser removal of hair treatment. Swimsuits and bikinis compliment a woman’s figure but do little to hide the pubic hair from peeping out. Some women find it okay to treat the area as per the bikini outline; whereas others prefer to clean the whole pubic area. This sort of treatment is known as the Brazilian treatment and is much safer than using a razor in this delicate part. The hair on the legs of both men and women are the easiest to remove and the procedure is quickest in this area. Some women specially prefer hair removal on their legs from the ankle to just above the knee; whereas, other women go for the whole leg treatment which extends from the ankle to the hip bone. Either of these is a smooth treatment and does not take too much time, unless the hair is coarse which can be a little painful and need extra time. A number of men too prefer the laser treatment to remove hair on their legs.

Looking good and attractive is common with both men and women alike; hair removal from certain parts of the body not only enhances one’s looks but also proves the person to be hygiene-conscious. Hair is unwanted anywhere except on the crown – where it should in be in glorious abundance. Hair elsewhere causes itchiness, sweat, and foul-smell and can even harbor germs and parasites unnoticed. Shaving and waxing were the only options for hair removal till laser treatment became known. Now, people are aware of hair removal in a safer, quicker, reasonably cheaper and highly effective manner – the laser hair removal treatment.

This is a method to remove hair from all those unwanted places of your body permanently. Every part of the body has different textures of hair and accordingly the treatments and timings go with it. Soft hair on very visible portions of the body may take less time in each sitting and need lesser number of sittings before there is complete satisfaction. Coarse and thick hair will naturally need longer periods in each sitting and areas like the back will need frequent sittings before the desired results.

Any external work on the skin will lead to some irritation and rashes, laser hair removal treatment also has the same effect but at a lesser degree. Some may be allergic to the gel or solution used during laser treatment and has redness and rashes come out. Whatever the reactions they are generally harmless and last for the first few days of the initial sitting.

Nina received our CO2 Fractional Skin Resurfacing yesterday.

This is the first video she shot the day after the procedure.

As we age, we’re always looking for something that will help slow down the effects of aging. One of the most popular anti-aging cosmetic procedures is the non-surgical laser skin resurfacing. Done with a special laser right in Dr. Peer’s office, it improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, old scars and hyperpigmentation (discolored areas of the skin), primarily around the eyes and mouth.

There’s been a dramatic increase in the number performed each year.

The reason?  Today’s lasers are gentler and safer than in the past.  Yes, there can be a bit of downtime but the results are worth it:  Amazing skin!

One of our patients just had laser skin resurfacing in our office
and she agreed to video tape her day by day journey
so you can see what happens and how she looks

Here’s her picture as she relaxes in the office while waiting for the topical numbing cream to do it’s job.

Q Dear Dr. Peers…I’m 48 years old, 5′ 2″ tall, and weigh about 127. I currently have a small amount of loose skin and not a lot of fat. I have a lot of muscle, am very active, and I lift weights 4 times a week. I am wondering, how much skin tightening can I expect after Smart Lipo? I don’t want to end up with sagging skin.

A. Since you do not have much fat, we would not use the water liposuction on you. Instead we would use the Smart laser Lipo device to achieve really good skin tightening in smaller areas. The chin, neck, and male breast areas all respond quite well to the laser tightening.
Also, the abdomen will benefit if there is not too much fatty deposit. One option we like to use to get additional tightening is to use the smart lipo laser initially for melting the fat; and then employ it again once the fat cells have been suctioned. This allows for more skin tightening – without the fat acting like an insulating blanket and diminishing the laser effect.

We have all been there, working out at the gym, trying on clothes in a dressing room or even going through our own closets.

Few things in life are more frustrating than trying to find clothes that fit over those lumps and bumps that just will not disappear, no matter how much we work out or how carefully we eat.

There are things you can do to eliminate those fatty deposits, and you can find liposuction Chicago area, to get the results you are looking for.

Is there really any reason you can think of, to live with a belly pouch, bumpy thighs or love handles that seem permanent?

Why are those areas so hard to reduce fat anyway? Weight gain, pregnancy and age all play a role in retaining excess body fat, and some areas are just very resistant to exercise and a healthy eating plan.

Liposuction can remove those excess fat deposits, permanently.

Liposuction in Chicago is available, and finding a qualified physician who provides a careful evaluation, treatment and follow-up plan is crucial.

Liposuction Chicago is also based on the cost of living in the area, the experience of the surgeon, the areas to be liposuctioned and any extraneous fees, such as lab work, anesthesia and recovery garments.

Do not be afraid to ask your physician questions. Knowledge is power, and the more you know, the better informed you will be about your procedure. Then, you can end up with the smooth silhouette you are looking for.

Liposuction in Chicago is technologically advanced and targeted for those “problem” areas.

Let’s cover a few more things about these treatments, and what you can expect from liposuction Chicago area. You should expect a quality aesthetic effect – smooth, ripple-free contours, before and after photographs of the physician’s work, and testimonials from patients.

The beauty of this procedure is that it is effective in a number of areas. Your hips, waist, outer thighs, inner thighs and knees, as well as: the upper and lower belly area, arms buttocks, jowls and your neck.

Does this sound like a good idea?  No more continuous frustration struggling with a less than youthful appearance, and no more frustration trying to maintain an endless cycle of exercising and weight control, with insignificant results.

Because liposuction Chicago is available, you will find that you can have your procedure done in a private manner, with minimal expense, travel and time off from your everyday routine.

It’s now official.  Liposuction is queen (or king) of all cosmetic procedures in Goshen, Indiana, South Bend Indiana, Indianapolis, Indiana, Chicago, Illinois – heck all around the world. A new survey conducted by the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery just reported that liposuction accounts for 18.8% of all procedures.
Here’s the results:

• Liposuction – 18.8%
• Breast Augmentation – 17%
• Eye lift – 13.5%
• Nose job – 9.4%
• Tummy tuck – 7.3%

One could speculate on why liposuction in Indiana and other parts of the world has risen.  We suspect it might be tied to the rise in overall weight of the general population.  Obesity is not just a problem in the Midwest, but all over the world.
By the way… if you’re thinking about a Botox Treatment in addition to liposuction in our Goshen, Indiana offices you might be happy to know that non-surgical treatments now surpass the surgical treatments.  In an effort to stay young, the baby boomer generation not only want liposuction, but other procedures like Botox and laser hair removal.
