It's very important to avoid the sun as much as possible and it's a lot easier to do that in the winter time than it is in the middle of the summer. For achieving the best results while undergoing any type of laser treatment, skin must be shielded from the sun minimizing exposure.
Doctors who perform laser procedures, such as laser hair removal, encourage their patients who desire a razor-free life to start treatments at least 4 months prior to summer.
DID YOU KNOW?
Laser Hair Removal works best on pail skin with darker hair follicles. If you have dark skin or if you have very light hair follicles you may not be a candidate. However, consulting with your plastic surgeon is required who will make the final determination.
According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), the number of laser skin resurfacing procedures performed by its members increased by nearly 10 percent between 2009 and 2010. These numbers have jumped to over 20% in 2011.
Doing this type of fractional resurfacing improves skin texture, skin color, pore size, acne scarring, any kind of scarring issues that you may have.
While a licensed, board-certified plastic surgeon can discuss what type of skin resurfacing is best for you, it's important to note that results often take as long as several months to completely appear. However, the procedure does provide long-lasting results.
