What areas of the body can be treated?
ALL parts of the body CAN be treated (and ARE treated) with the laser. In women, the most common areas for treatment are blood vessels on the thighs, lower legs and ankles. In men and women unwanted red blood vessels on the nose and face, including those associated with acne rosacea and with sun damage, are successfully treated. Cherry hemangiomas (sometimes called Campbell de Morgan spots”, which are little red dots on the trunk, arms and legs), and spider hemangiomas (sometimes called “broken capillaries” or “broken blood vessels”) on the face , upper chest and other parts of the body are other commonly treated lesions.
Hair can be removed from almost any part of the body, except inside the nose. Hairs can be removed from a mole while it is still present on your skin or from the scar left after the mole has been removed by your physician. Surgical removal of a mole almost never goes deep enough to remove the hair follicles, and hairs will continue to grow out of the scar. It is best to have your physician check your moles prior to having electrolysis on them. FOR WOMEN Many women want hair removed from facial areas of the lip, chin, neck, sideburns, eyebrows and hairline. Also, when women have short hair, they often want the hairline on the back of the neck raised so that they no longer have to shave the area after their haircuts. Hair can also be removed on other areas, i.e. breasts, abdomen, bikini line, underarms, arms, legs, hands and fingers, feet and toes, and buttocks. FOR MEN Common areas for men include: hairline/beard line, back, shoulders, chest, ears, and center of eyebrows. Electrologists
ALL parts of the body CAN be treated, and are treated with the Apex 800. In women, the most common areas for treatments are the upper lip, chin, bikini line, arms and legs, and underarms. In men, the most common areas for treatments are shoulders and back, and the beard area. It is technically possible to treat even the eyelashes and eyebrows, although we do not treat these areas at present. The top of the eyebrows can be treated when the forehead is treated.
