INFINITY LASER HAIR REMOVAL FOR MEN!
At Celsius we partnered with INFINITY laser with over 20 years of experience and over 3000+ laser treatments.
Whether it be shaving or waxing, hair removal is time-consuming and costly over your lifetime. Lumenis Lightsheer laser hair removal systems offer a quick, effective, affordable, and FDA-approved Permanent Reduction method of ridding yourself of embarrassing, unwanted hair. More importantly, for many of our clients, it is
'VIRTUALLY PAINLESS'
At INFINITY Laser the most commonly treated areas for men are the back/shoulders and chest/abs.
We also treat a lot of men's beards and necklines to reduce the appearance of the five o’clock shadow and the irritation involved in shaving this area where the hair grows in all different directions and is prone to ingrown hairs or a condition known as
pseudofolliculitis.
WHAT SKIN TYPE ARE YOU?
We are so happy you decided to start your laser hair removal journey! Prior to contacting us to set up your first appointment please click on the button to the right and complete the skin type questionnaire to determine your Fitzpatrick skin type, that way we can perform the most safe and effective treatment for your skin type at your first visit.
Knowing your skin type is very important for a safe and effective treatment. Please complete the questionnaire below to determine your skin type prior to scheduling your 1st appointment. Darker skin tones naturally contain more melanin or pigment and absorbs more light, so for your safety we require skin types 4-6 to complete a complimentary consultation and test-spot prior to your 1st treatment.
HOW TO PREPARE
A close shave to the area is required for all laser hair removal treatments. It is best to shave the night before or the morning of your treatment. Avoid waxing or tweezing at least 3 weeks before your appointment. To be eligible for treatment you need to avoid sun exposure and self tanners for several weeks before treatment; it is important that your skin is not tanned at all. Discontinue use of retinoids and prescription topicals in the area 14 days prior to your treatment. Discontinue antibiotics 14 days prior. This treatment cannot be performed on pregnant or breastfeeding patients.
WILL IT LOOK NATURAL
Yes, we will blend the edges of the areas to be treated with a scattering technique, so that it blends in with the rest of the hair growth pattern on your body. For instance, when doing the back and shoulders, we include the deltoids and scatter the laser treatment onto the upper arm.
IS IT POSSIBLE TO THIN OUT THE HAIR
Many men only want a reduction of their facial, legs, chest, and arms to reduce irritation and make shaving easier. In just a few facial treatments, you will notice a significant difference in your five o’clock shadow and how much easier it is to shave without nicking yourself. Most men also experience diminishing ingrown hairs, especially on the front of the neck where hair growth is problematic for some.
WHAT TO EXPECT - DOES IT HURT
Most men tolerate the treatment just fine. Our new Lightsheer High-speed DUET laser gets you in and out of the office faster and greatly minimizes the discomfort of the past by using a new revolutionary method of laser hair removal. Your technician is very in tune with your feelings and will take great care of you sensing when you need to take a break throughout your treatments.
Treatment only takes 15-20 minutes for small areas, 20-30 minutes for medium areas, and 30-60 minutes for larger areas. Treatment typically feels like a slight rubber band snap on the skin and any discomfort should not linger. You may be slightly red or have minor irritation in the area being treated which will usually subside within 24 hours. With consistent treatments, you will notice the hair growing back much slower and finer each time. Expect to need about 9-12 sessions to achieve 75-95% reduction.
WHY DO YOU NEED A SERIES OF TREATMENTS SPACED APART
Everybody has three different stages of hair growth. The Anagen phase is the active growth phase and is the only phase where laser hair removal is effective. Only 20% of hair is actively growing during one Anagen growth phase, hence why multiple treatments are necessary for laser hair removal to be effective for long-term results. The phase can last 3-4 months on the body
