  • Are you tired of the constant routine of shaving, waxing, and plucking to get rid of unwanted hair? Velanis Clinic in McAllen, Texas, brings you advanced laser hair removal solutions that deliver enduring results. Bid farewell to time-consuming and expensive temporary methods and say hello to long-lasting, hair-free skin.

    During a laser hair removal session, our Asclepion MeDioStarยฎ, backed by Astanza, diode laser emits pulses of light energy that penetrate the skin, targeting the melanin within the hair follicle. By heating the follicle and eliminating the hair root, the laser disrupts the hair's nourishment supply, putting a halt to its growth. Once the laser severs the source of nourishment, the follicle stops producing hair.

    It's essential to note that laser hair removal is effective only during a specific hair growth stage known as the anagen phase, which is why multiple treatments are necessary for long-lasting hair removal.

  • Hair undergoes a cycle consisting of three phases: the anagen phase, the catagen phase, and the telogen phase.

    Anagen Phase (Active Growth): This is the crucial phase for laser hair removal, as it is the only stage during which the laser is actually effective. The anagen phase occurs when the hair root remains attached to the papilla, making it a target for the laser.

    Catagen Phase (Transitional): In this stage, the hair follicle detaches from the papilla, cutting off its nutrient supply.

    Telogen Phase (Resting): During this phase, a new anagen hair pushes out a catagen hair, restarting the hair growth cycle.

    Because each hair grows at its own pace, it's impossible to target all hairs during the anagen phase. This is why we recommend a minimum of 6 to 12 sessions for each client, depending on specific factors and desired results. Our MeDioStarยฎ laser ensures the fastest, safest, and most effective results for all skin and hair types, including newly tanned skin.

  • Each client receives information about proper aftercare along with a detailed aftercare instruction sheet to take home after treatment. As you prepare for your laser hair removal treatment, keep a few things in mind:

    Avoid excessive sun exposure for at least a week following each treatment. After each laser treatment, clients should apply a broad spectrum SPF 30 or higher for ongoing maintenance.

    Apply a cold compress or aloe vera to soothe the skin and help prevent side effects after treatment

    Avoid hot water or steaming activities that soak the skin for at least 24 to 48 hours following a treatment.

    Your hair will naturally begin to thin and shed over the weeks following each treatment.

    Gently exfoliate the treatment site with a washcloth to remove the dead hair. Never tug or pluck out hairs that are still connected to the follicle.

    Hairs must be attached to the follicle in order to target them during their active growth stage. While shaving and trimming are acceptable methods for removing unwanted hair between treatments, plucking and epilating methods should be avoided at all costs.

    If you experience any adverse, unwanted side effects, please contact our McAllen laser hair removal clinic right away.

Laser hair removal is currently one of the best options for permanently and safely eliminating hair in both men and women. It is particularly recommended for those suffering from recurrent folliculitis or hirsutism. This method utilizes advanced technology that specifically targets the pigment in the hair, allowing for effective reduction with minimal discomfort.

The benefits of laser hair removal extend beyond its effectiveness. It is a quick procedure, with sessions typically lasting between 15 and 30 minutes, depending on the area being treated. Additionally, it adapts to various skin and hair types, making it a versatile option for many.

To achieve optimal results, several sessions are usually recommended, generally ranging from 6 to 12, spaced a few weeks apart. This approach allows the laser to act on the different growth phases of the hair.

The treatment is safe when performed by trained professionals, minimizing the risk of side effects. Many patients experience significant improvement in their skin texture, as it reduces the irritation often associated with traditional hair removal methods.

In summary, laser hair removal is an effective and long-lasting solution for those looking to eliminate unwanted hair. Beyond its aesthetic results, many appreciate the enhancement in their skin quality, establishing it as an increasingly valued option in the field of aesthetics. Its professional and personalized approach ensures that each treatment is tailored to the individual needs of each patient.
