Genital Laser Hair Removal Available in Miami
COPYRIGHT 2010. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
At Laser Hair Removal Miami we’re often asked if laser hair removal is a suitable method for permanent hair reduction of the male genitalia (to include the shaft of the penis or testicles).
Over the last few years, we’ve noticed a trend amongst men (either heterosexual or homosexual) who are conscious of growing directly on the above mentioned male genitalia area/s. Hair growth in these regions is common to males, however because the hair is coarse and tends to be curly many men experience ingrown hair issues, or for simpler reasons prefer to be clean of hair in these regions.
Genital laser hair removal is done in the same way with other areas, but we must not forget that it is a sensitive area and when undergoing laser treatments you should seek out a professional, reputable med spa.
Why is laser hair removal the ideal treatment of genital hair reduction?
Laser hair removal is a permanent laser hair reduction solution as opposed to its counterparts- shaving, waxing or depilatory methods. Furthermore, laser hair removal is a controlled treatment, approved by the FDA and if utilizing the CoolGlide technology (which Laser Hair Removal Miami does) men of all skin colors are safe candidates. African-American men, particularly, suffer from ingrown hairs, so laser hair removal treatment is the ideal treatment.
Laser hair removal requires multiples sessions, spaced out over four to six weeks. If you undergo genital laser hair removal treatments, you will not have to worry about unsightly or bothersome ingrown hairs again!
What is the pain factor, if any?
Because the male genitalia is such a sensitive area, laser hair removal does cause some degree of discomfort. However, Laser Hair Removal Miami has its own unique numbing method which decreases discomfort associated with laser hair removal.
What does the treatment feel like?
It may feel like an elastic band flicking your skin.
In summary, laser hair removal is the ideal treatment for the permanent hair reduction of the genital area/s because it yields permanent results with the efficiency that waxing, shaving or electrolysis do not.

How To Remove Facial Hair With Laser Hair Removal...................
Before and After Pictures: Laser Hair Removal Treatments ( Facial Hair)Copyright 2010. All rights reserved.
For centuries upon centuries women have been suffering from unsightly and bothersome facial hair on the upper lip, chin and sides of the face ( some have unwanted hair on the neck as well). For years there have been a wide range of hair removal methods such as waxing, shaving, electrolysis, threading and depilatory creams to name a few.
However, over the last 15 years or so, a more permanent hair reduction method has been on the market; known as laser hair removal. This is a wonderful and more permanent hair reduction ( and relatively painless), however, it's downfall for years was that women and teens of darker pigmented skin were not able to take advantage of this hair reduction method because the technology was not safe against protection of discoloring the skin's pigment. For this reason, Bay Harbour Med Spa waited and researched differing laser hair reduction technologies because we wanted to be an all inclusive med spa which offered laser hair removal which was safe and effective for men, women and teens of all skin colors; thus, the CoolGlide laser technology. Bay Harbour Med Spa introduced CoolGlide to South Florida and was featured in both local and national media as providing the only laser hair reduction technology that is approved by the FDA to treat white, tan, dark or black skin without causing any discoloration to the skin's pigment.
Today, facial laser hair removal has become one of the most sought after methods of reducing unwanted hair.
There are some wonderful advantages of the CoolGlide facial laser hair removal technology:
Men, women and teens of all skin colors ( White, Hispanic, Mediterranean, Indian and African-Americans) may undergo laser hair reduction treatments without incurring any discoloration to the skin's pigment.
Laser hair removal also prevents irritation and development of folliculitis ( ingrown hair), in which one or more hair follicles become inflamed. This method is relatively painless. Takes a fraction of the time that any other method does. Provides long-lasting favorable results.
Which areas should be avoided when undergoing laser hair removal?
Typically, anywhere around the eyes should be avoided. All other areas may be treated.
How many treatments are required?
Depending on the hair color, thickness and hair density it is recommended that between 10-12 treatments spread out over 4 to 6 weeks be performed.
How long does facial hair removal take?
Upper lip: 3-5 minutes
Chin: 3-5 minutes
Sideburns: 5-10 minutes on each side
Neck: 10 to 20 minutes
Are follow up treatments necessary?
Annual or bi-annual follow ups may be necessary ( depending on the hormonal issues that vary in women). If you've had the recommended number of treatments with Miami Laser Hair Removal, all follow-ups will be free of charge.
Is there a guarantee in writing?
That depends on the establishment that one frequents, however, Miami Laser Hair Removal does provide a life-time guarantee.

Solutions for Facial Hair Removal ..........................
There are a number of different solutions for facial hair removal including:
1. Shaving – while shaving is an "at home" solution for the removal of unwanted facial hair it is not a permanent solution to this embarrassing problem. After shaving, facial hair grows back darker and coarser than ever.
2. Waxing – this method of hair removal requires applying hot wax to the offending facial area. Waxing removes facial hair immediately but the hair will start to grow back within 1 to 4 weeks.
3. Depilatory cream – this is the easiest, least painful and most cost effective facial hair removal solution. The cream changes the chemical makeup of the hair at the skin line, making it easy to remove, however, hair grows back and the cream needs to be used every few days.
4. Laser Treatment for Facial Hair Removal – A Permanent Solution: Laser hair removal is the most effective solution for permanent facial hair reduction. The use of our modern laser hair removal technology means hair can be treated quickly and effectively usually within approximately 12 treatment sessions ( treatments should be spanned out between 4 to 6 weeks). The face is a sensitive area and laser treatment is the safe and effective solution for facial hair removal. Hormonal changes and your natural hair growth pattern will determine the actual number of treatments required.
We offer a life-time guarantee if you've undergone your full course of recommended treatments.

Laser Hair Removal Miami: Ingrown Hair Issues Affecting African-Americans
Before and After Picture: African-American Male ( Ingrown hair treatments)COPYRIGHT 2010. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
African-American skin care is unique and one that requires specialized care and training. Black skin presents its own issue called Pseudofoliculitis barbae, which is often referred to as “ Razor bumps” or “ Ingrown hair.”
Approximately 80% of African-American men suffer from razor bumps on a daily basis. Ingrown hairs or razor bumps are a result of shaving.
Etiology of Pseudofolliculitis barbae ( ingrown hairs) appears post shaving. The hairs that were just cut by the razor are only removed above the surface of the skin leaving the follicles under the skin to curl and burrow underneath the skin. The hairs are coarse and the ends are sharp which explain the irritated bumpy appearance.
Symptoms and signs of ingrown hairs: the ingrown hairs itch, burn and in many cases cause scarring and make shaving almost and impossible task.
Black skin care is unique, it presents its own issues, and its own good thing too! Black men for example suffer two of the most well known issues with black skin. I'm talking about "Razor bumps" and "Ingrown hair", both of them related.
Pseudofolliculitis barbae, also called by its common name "razor bumps" present on faces who have coarse, wiry or curly hair, like... You guess black men!
Did you know that around 85% of men have to deal with razor bumps everyday?
Yes and this number increases everyday.
Do women suffer from “ ingrown hairs”?
More and more African-American women present with the appearance of razor bumps because of an over production of hormones which causes excessive hair growth ( hirutism).
Are there solutions to help with “ ingrown hairs”?
Absolutely! Laser hair reduction treatments permanently reduce and/or destroy hair growth. The great news is that the FDA has cleared a laser technology by the name of CoolGlide which is the only laser technology approved to treat men and women of Indian and African-American ancestry without causing discoloration to skin’s pigment.
CoolGlide is the only laser technology approved to treat White, Hispanic, Oriental, Mediterranean, Indian or African-American skin.
For more information on laser hair removal for African-American skin please call: 305-864-3333
In the meantime, some home remedies are:
1. Be sure to use a clean blade at all times. If you have a bad case of razor bumps we recommend that you use a new double bladed after each use. If you use an electric shaver, replace the rotary blades accordingly.
2. Shave following the direction of the hair growth.
3. Avoid skin irritation by eating well. Foods that contain lots of fat, oil, cholesterol or sodium make your skin prone to damage.
Laser Hair Removal Miami: Some Common Questions and Answers
Laser Hair Removal Miami: Before and After Picture: African-American WomanCOPYRIGHT 2009. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
Miami Laser Hair Removal has compiled some questions and answers about laser hair removal.
Q:What does laser feel like?
The laser treatment may feel like a mild sting for a fraction of a second. It has a built-in cooling tip that not only helps to protect the skin but also helps to minimize the discomfort.
Q:How long do the treatments take?
An upper lip and chin can be done in 5 to 10 minutes. Underarms or bikini lines usually take 15 to 20 minutes. Legs and backs take longer. Very often, follow-up treatments are shorter ( and less expensive) because there is much less hair to treat.
Q. How many treatments are necessary?
This is very important to understand. Hair goes through 3 stages of development. It will only respond to the treatment in one stage called the anagen stage. At any given time, only one third of human hair is in the anagen stage. For this reason, multiple treatments are needed and must be spaced approximately 6 weeks apart in order to see the best and longest lasting results. Darker hair will respond better to laser hair removal treatments.
Q. Results- what should be expected?
This is often no immediate change. Your skin may get lightly red or even develop a small crust that will peel. The laser may leave small red marks on your skin. The marks clear up in a few days. The hair has been destroyed will not start to fall out for 2-3 weeks. Many times it will get darker and thicker just before it falls out. Don’t worry if you do not see an obvious change immediately after your first treatment.
Q. Is it permanent?
Treatment results may vary among patients. For some this may mean a significant decrease in the frequency with which you must shave or pluck. For others it may mean permanent cosmetic improvement because hair regrowth is minimal, very fine or completely absent. Everyone gets some re-growth with time regardless of the technology used. Hair that grows back will tend to be much finer and less concentrated.
