Say No to Home Use Laser Hair Removal Devices

You can’t help but notice the increase of home Laser Hair Removal devices hitting the market nowadays. On any given day you see different variations of these hand held gizmos that are supposed to rid you of your unwanted body hair. The truth if the matter is, they don’t work. In fact after a brief search online we’ve discovered that angry clients have actually taken it upon themselves to make websites specifically for bashing these products for the world to see. Search away!

One of the more popular devices seems to the “No No”. In fact, they’ve recently come up with an even more powerful device which is supposed to supercharge your laser hair removal efforts all from the palm of your hand.  Sadly this supped up version receives more than its fair share of bashing on Interwebs.
 
 
The fact is that the laser light required to target the hair follicle must originate from powerful source to be effective. The light source must be able to penetrate deep into the skin reaching the hair follicle in order to target the hair’s food source. The amount of light needed can only be generated by medical grade lasers using specific wave lengths of energy.  To complicate things, not all skin types are effective on all wavelengths. Darker skin requires a different type of laser wave length than lighter skin. In addition to different wavelengths, treatment parameters based on the Fitzpatrick Scale also play a key role on the effectiveness of the treatment.
At Amore Laser of Austin we use only FDA Approved Laser Hair Removal Machines that can safely and effectively remove unwanted hair.

Not all Skin Tones are Created Equal

Austin is a very diverse city and is becoming more and more unique as people from all over flock to the Capitol City. Austin has become a melting pot for people from all walks of life.  A plethora of musical diversity, mixed cultures, ethnic backgrounds and with weirdness leading the way, Austin has it all. At Amore Laser of Austin we embrace this diversity and from the inception of our business we wanted the ability to service everybody needs regardless of skin type. 

For this reason we chose the Candela Gentleyag and the Gentlelase as our primary machines used for Laser Hair Removal. Both these machines are FDA approved and combined have the ability to treat all skin types regardless of tone because they use different wavelengths. The Gentleyag is a 1064nm Neodymium Laser and the Gentlelase is a 75nm Alexandrite Laser.  Depending on what “skin type” you are will determine what machine will be best for optimal results. For the record, “Skin Type” is determined by a grading scale based on several factors on how skin will react under ultraviolet light. This scale is this is referred to as the Fitzpatrick Scale.



The effectiveness of your laser hair removal treatment begins by using the proper laser to target the hair follicle. The laser light penetrates the hair follicle destroying the food source preventing the hair shaft from growing and within a few days it simply falls out leaving smooth silky skin.  A series of treatments are necessary because your body hair grows in stages meaning the hair that is growing today is not the same hair that will be growing next month and so on. A typical “cycle” for hair growing is generally 6 to 8 months however this varies with everyone. If the proper laser is used, the majority of the clients treated at Amore Laser are in their “touch up” phase of their treatments well before 8 sessions. Before choosing a Medical Spa in Austin, TX for Laser Hair Removal, do your research to make sure they have the correct machine for your skin type.



At Amore Laser we pride ourselves in offering our clients a convenient, cozy and quaint facility nestled in North Central Austin off Burnett and Anderson Road. We are a Medically supervised facility, meaning we have a Medical Doctor who oversees our operations and checks our protocols on a regular basis. In addition, we have assembled a team of Licensed Staff who hold Licensed Estheticians Titles with the State of Texas.  This is also  a very important part of choosing the a MedSpa here in Austin, Texas.

Is Laser Tattoo Removal right for you?

Is Laser Tattoo Removal right for you?

Nowadays it seems there are tattoo shops springing up at every street corner in Austin Texas. At every turn neon glow in shapes of hearts to cleavers are hung in hopes to lure potential clients. Many leave with a permanent brands and it's love at first site! Those freshly inked Austinites rush home to their family, friends and co-workers to show off their new ink attire. Others don't share this enthusiasm.

Luckily there is a solution for unwanted skin graffiti or that ex's name that has worn out it's welcome. Thanks to Laser Light Technology of the 1064nm and 532nm wavelength laser systems. These wavelengths target the area of the skin where the ink reside and as the laser light hits the ink it implodes and displaces the tattoo ink into another area of the dermis.

Once the tattoo ink is displaced, our bodies natural filter begins to remove the ink from our bodies. With each treatment, more ink will be displaced and the tattoo begins to fade and lighten until it is eventually gone.

Typically laser tattoo removal takes anywhere from 6 to 10 treatments however there are certain variables we take into consideration during your consult. A few include the type of ink used on the tattoo, the age of the tattoo and the also the ink color. Generally green and reds are the hardest colors to remove but we have achieved success with all ink colors.
