Candela Laser Hair Removal in Miami

Candela Laser Hair Removal in Miami

Having facial hairs, unwanted hairs into your underarms, upper lip, and other parts of our body can affect our self-esteem, including how we feel, and what we do. Many people are struggling with low self-esteem due to excessive hairs in some parts of their bodies.

There are many options for hair removal including bleaching, shaving, plucking, and using topical creams for hair removal; however, they only give short-term solutions. Long-term options include laser hair removal systems and electrolysis that use an electrical current to destroy hair follicles individually. 

With the advancement of cosmetic surgery, Candela laser hair removal can address your concern considering that it is one of the most widely used hair removal lasers. If you are looking for a quick, less painful waxing hair removal procedure, Candela laser hair removal may be the answer you are looking for!

What is Candela laser hair removal?

The Candela laser hair removal in Miami works by emitting a specialized light that passes through your skin and is absorbed by the melatonin (i.e. color) of your hair follicle. This damages your follicle and causes your hair to fall out. It is an effective laser hair removal treatment for all skin types and colors.

In addition, the laser can be used for tightening your skin. The loose skin under your eyes or on your abdomen are just a few places that the Candela laser hair removal procedure can tighten.

The laser energy brought by Candela is delivered through a small hand piece that is manually operated by the practitioner. It delivers an intense beam of light that is being absorbed by your skin, which is converted to heat. The heat is then absorbed by your cells being targeted, while the surrounding tissues remain unaffected. Following the procedure, your skin may be slightly red, which typically lasts from a minute to several hours.

Does Candela laser hair removal hurt?

Pain is often associated with any laser hair removal procedures as it is also a major concern amongst patients including plucking, waxing, or threading. However, Candela laser hair removal in Miami is not invasive, as it comes complete with a Dynamic Cooling Device. Dr. Carlos Spera–a board-certified Plastic Surgeon in Miami utilizes Candela laser hair removal to spray the upper layer of your skin with the aid of a cooling solution. It prepares your skin for treatment by spraying the upper layer of your skin with a cooling burst of cryogen in adjustable durations. The dynamic Cooling Device ensures that the treatments are as comfortable without compromising their effectiveness and success rate.

The applied solution freezes instantly on the uppermost layer of your skin. Moreover, the laser hits the exact spot within a couple of milliseconds. This one-two punch of heat and cold that takes less than a second means most patients will remain comfortable throughout the plastic surgery procedure.

The feeling when you undergo Candela laser hair removal is often compared to snapping yourself with a rubber band. While you feel it in real-time, it is only temporary. If you think you are more sensitive to feeling pain than an average person, Dr. Carlos Spera–a board-certified Plastic Surgeon in Miami will apply numbing creams for an extra precaution. This way, you can enjoy the full benefits of Candela laser hair removal but not compromise yourself to pain brought by your sensitive skin.

How do I prepare for a Candela hair laser removal in Miami?

If you are considering Candela laser hair removal in Miami, Dr. Carlos Spera will evaluate your skin type, hair color, treatment history, and goals during consultation. This visit helps determine whether Candela laser treatment is an appropriate option for you.

  • Review your medical history, skin conditions, scarring tendency, medications, and past hair removal procedures.
  • Discuss benefits, realistic expectations, risks, and whether laser hair removal fits your treatment area and skin type.
  • Take baseline photos when appropriate so progress can be reviewed over time.

After consultation, the office will review the treatment plan, expected number of sessions, pricing, and preparation instructions. Common instructions may include:

  • Avoid sun exposure and tanning products before treatment, and follow sunscreen guidance from the office.
  • Avoid waxing, plucking, and electrolysis before treatment because these methods can remove the follicle target needed for the laser.
  • Ask which medications or supplements should be paused before treatment, including blood-thinning medications when relevant.
  • Shave the treatment area as instructed before your appointment so the laser can better target the follicle below the skin surface.

Dr. Spera and the team will give specific pre-treatment and post-treatment instructions based on your skin type, treatment area, and schedule.

What are the side effects of Candela hair laser removal?

Side effects from Candela laser hair removal can vary depending on skin type, hair color, treatment settings, and how closely pre-treatment and post-treatment instructions are followed. Possible effects include:

  • Temporary redness, swelling, warmth, or irritation in the treated area.
  • Temporary pigment changes, including lightening or darkening of the treated skin, especially after sun exposure or in darker skin types.

Less common risks can include crusting, blistering, scarring, texture changes, graying of treated hair, or increased hair growth around the treated area. Dr. Spera will review these risks and how to reduce them before treatment.

Laser hair removal is not recommended directly over the eyelids, eyebrows, or surrounding areas because of the risk of eye injury.

How long do Candela laser hair removal results last?

You will also have many hair follicles even in the small area in your body. Targeting all of them in just a single session is not possible; hence, you need to undergo multiple Candela laser hair removal sessions. However, each session leaves you with fewer active hair follicles. The number of sessions that are required when you undergo Candela laser hair removal depends on your skin tone and color of your hair, the size of the area that needs to be covered, and the number of areas covered.

Moreover, if you have darker hair with a lighter complexion, you will get the fastest results. The laser utilizes the contrast between your hair color and skin color to carefully guide it. A single area will typically take you two to six sessions. When you come in for your initial consultation, Dr. Carlos Spera–a board-certified Plastic Surgeon in Miami will determine how many treatments you will likely need to undergo.

How long does the Candela hair laser removal in Miami take?

The Candela laser hair removal treatment can take as fast as few minutes to as long as an hour. It depends on the treatment area and the condition being treated. Both your legs can be treated in as few as 15 minutes, as can an average-sized back of a man.

Frequently Asked Questions

Candela Laser Hair Removal uses focused laser energy to target hair follicles during the active growth phase. The goal is long-term hair reduction in treated areas, with results depending on hair color, skin type, treatment area, and the number of sessions completed.

Candela Laser Hair Removal may be appropriate for patients seeking longer-term reduction of unwanted hair on areas such as the face, legs, arms, underarms, bikini line, or back. A consultation with Dr. Spera helps determine whether your skin type, hair color, and goals are a good match for treatment.

The Candela laser device emits a concentrated beam of light that penetrates the skin to target the hair follicle. The melanin in the hair absorbs this light, which then converts to heat, effectively damaging the follicle and inhibiting future hair growth. The procedure is quick, with a cooling mechanism to ensure patient comfort.

Post-treatment, patients may experience slight redness and swelling in the treated area, which typically subsides within a few hours. It’s essential to avoid sun exposure and use sunscreen on the treated areas. Most individuals can return to their daily activities immediately. Dr. Spera will provide post-treatment care recommendations.
