Miami Laser Hair Removal and Bay Harbour Med Spa offers the only FDA approved laser hair removal treatment and machine that will not discolor and or burn dark and black skin. CoolGlide laser technology will gently destroy all the unwanted facial and body hairs.
CoolGlide is the only FDA approved laser for black skin that can treat any part of your body. Be it your face, upper lip, side burns, chin, neck, forehead, ears, chest, areolas, under arms, arms, hands, toes, fingers, buttocks, legs, bikini, and back.

These treatments yield permanent hair reduction, but they are not a one time treatment. Treatments need to be repeated every 4-6 weeks. The reason for this is that human hairs grow in circles and stages. In order for laser to destroy the hair follicles the hair has to be in the growing stage.

The growing stage happens only once every 3 months for about 2 weeks. The rest of the time the hairs go through different cycles of hair growth and cannot be destroyed, only weakened. Therefore, you need to do a series of treatments to destroy the hairs permanently. After each treatment you will see a substantial reduction of regrowth. Ingrown hairs are also going to disappear. Your facial hairs, bumps, curled up ingrown hairs, purple discoloration and painful razor bumps will be totally eliminated. A clearer and more even skin toned face will emerge as soon as you start you laser hair removal treatments.

Miami Laser Hair Removal also has its UNIQUE technique to eliminate most of the discomfort associated with laser hair removal treatments.
Our vast experience in the treatment of black skin will provide you with the most suitable skin care treatments and products for your skin.

Our facials are customized to the need of each individual. For instance, if you have enlarged pores around your nose and cheeks, or very oily bumpy skin, we can treat and eliminate it with our customized abrasions and ultrasonic treatments.

Please remember that black skin is very different then white skin and what is suitable for white skin is not suitable for dark skin. One has to be very careful not to use harsh products and or treatments on dark and black skin as they can create more discoloration. It is also very important to understand that black skin contrary to popular belief needs to be protected from the UVA’s harmful sun rays. It is a misconception to believe that just because your skin is dark you do not need to protect it from the ultra violet rays. Sun block or zinc should be a part of your daily routine. Did you know that there is a steady rise in skin cancer in the black population?

Miami Laser Hair Removal and Bay Harbour Med Spa can safely help you achieve hair free, bump free and acne free skin.
On a final note, PLEASE REMEMBER TO USE SUNSCREEN!

THE SOCIAL ECOLOGY OF HAIR REMOVAL: FROM TWEEZING TO LASER

THE SOCIAL ECOLOGY OF HAIR REMOVAL METHODS

Written by: Miami Laser Hair Removal

Hair removal in one form or another has been around since 100,000 B.C. offering many different techniques. We will also explore which skin conditions should avoid certain hair removal methods.

WAXING: Waxing is one of the oldest forms of hair removal dating back to 3000 B.C. The two most common techniques are soft and hard wax. Soft wax, commonly known as strip wax, which utilizes warm wax that hardens and is than removed with fabric strips. Hard wax hardens and can be removed without fabric. Waxing is ideal for men and women with light hair because they are not good candidates for laser hair removal since laser technology is attracted to pigment.

Client who use Retin-A should discontinue this product two weeks prior to getting waxing. Patients with diabetes or neuropathy ( the inability to feel heat or pain) are not good candidates for waxing.

SUGARING: Sugaring also known as Persian waxing has been used since 1900 B.C. It usually a mixture of sugar and lemon juice and is very sticky in texture. The benefit is that the sugar wax adheres to the hair and not the skin avoiding irritations.

TWEEZING: It is written that Julius Caesar (101-44 B.C.) had his facial hairs individually tweezed every day and consequently other men followed suit. Tweezing is ideal for men or women with very sensitive skin who either do not have a lot of hair or have light or blonde hair. People with light hair are not candidates for laser hair removal because laser is attracted to pigment and the hair has to be dark.

THREADING: This is an ancient Middle Eastern method typically only used to remove facial or neck hair. The technician holds the thread in her teeth and the other end of the thread with her hands. The middle of the thread is looped through her index and middle finger on her right hand. She then uses the loop to quickly remove the hair from the skin.

ELECTROLYSIS: Electrolysis dates back to 1869. Electrolysis today involves a trained electrologist inserting a fine, solid, sterile needle into the hair follicle and then applying a small amount of electrical current. This is a permanent hair reduction method.

However, this is the least popular method because of the pain factor. Again, this treatment is ideal for people with light hair.

LASER HAIR REMOVAL: This is the newest method of permanent hair reduction methods. First invented in the 1960’s. Technology has since vastly improved in all aspects. The way this method works is by emitting laser which produces heat in the hair which is than transferred to the hair follicle. Clients should not have a laser treatment if tanned or sunburned. Bleaching or tweezing should be stopped for at least two weeks prior to the treatment. If you suffer from herpes of any kind, you should consult with your physician first.

LASER HAIR REMOVAL FOR AFRICAN-AMERICANS: FINALLY…………………… The FDA approved the CoolGlide laser technology which will safely remove hair without causing discoloration often associated with dark or black pigmented skin.

Miami Laser Hair Removal is located in Bay Harbour ( Miami Beach), Florida. We are proud to offer all of the above hair removal methods. We are mostly proud that we are able to safely treat men, women and teens of all skin colors without causing pigment damage.
