It seems that laser hair removal is advertised so commonly these days that it starts to feel like just about anyone can do it. Not so fast, says Kim Marinetto, RN, Master Aesthetician and co-owner of AVIE! MedSpa and Laser Center in Leesburg, VA.
Just do a Google search on “laser hair removal disaster,” and you will discover that the internet is overrun with tales and photos of laser hair removal gone very wrong. These disasters come in the form of burns, unsightly scars and body areas still full of patchy hair.
Safety first!
If there is one lesson to be learned it’s that you must consider your laser hair removal provider’s safety and training record.
“A laser is a very powerful tool,” says Kim, “and in inexperienced hands, it can do real damage. Research your laser hair removal providers. Look for a location like AVIE! that has a medical director that oversees our practice and training.”
Of course, at AVIE!, staff who perform laser hair removal include our nurse practitioners. We are also proud to have board-certified Dr. Khalique Zahir on staff.
Furthermore, beware of the “at home” laser hair removal devices that have recently flooded the market. Only licensed, medically trained personnel can determine what laser is best for your unique skin tone. At home devices use a single wavelength, one-size-fits-all approach that leave many with no results—and time, energy and money wasted.
“Laser hair removal can provide fantastic results – but it is crucial that it be performed with care and expertise. We have an excellent safety record and satisfaction rate and continue to work to assure that clients receive great results.”
