Orange County Laser Hair Removal in High Demand as Spring Approaches

CosmetiCare, a prominent Orange County plastic surgery practice, sees increasing laser hair removal appointments as winter comes to an end.

2013-03-28
NEWPORT BEACH, CA, March 28, 2013 (Press-News.org) Requests for laser hair removal from both men and women have seen a marked increase in the past month at CosmetiCare (http://www.cosmeticare.com), a plastic surgery practice with offices in Newport Beach and Long Beach. Laser hair removal is typically a top non-surgical cosmetic treatment during this time of year.

"Once the weather starts warming up, everyone starts thinking about what they'll look like on the beach," explains Dr. Michael Niccole, a prominent cosmetic surgeon in Orange County. "Next thing you know, they're on the phone scheduling an appointment with us."

Laser hair removal works by targeting laser energy at the hair root. This damages the hair follicle, reducing or preventing regrowth. The treatment works best for people with lighter skin tones and darker hair, though the modern laser offered at CosmetiCare can successfully treat a wide range of skin and hair types. Laser hair removal is effective nearly anywhere on the body, including the face, body, legs, bikini area and underarms.

"Early spring treatments are often ideal, because the skin is usually still pale from winter, and there's a few months yet before prime beach weather," says Dr. Sami Hamamji, another cosmetic surgeon at the practice. "There's plenty of time for multiple sessions."

Hair regrowth is permanently impacted by laser hair removal only during its growth phase. Since individual hairs have staggered growth and rest phases, only some of the hair targeted by the laser will be removed during a single treatment session. Multiple sessions are required for optimum results, or for larger surface areas. In some patients, maintenance treatments may be suggested to maintain results long-term.

"We offer our patients discounts on multi-session packages and on multi-area treatments," adds Dr. Niccole. "On average, we find that the typical laser hair removal patient will need about five sessions, though everyone is different."

Laser hair removal can either remove hair completely, or thin out existing hair to minimize its appearance. Although in the past, women have been the primary client base for laser hair removal, the procedure is becoming more popular among men.

"Men usually aren't thrilled about the growth of unwanted back and shoulder hair as they get older," says Dr. Hamamji. "Laser hair removal can be an effective solution. We've also treated men who just want to thin out their chest and body hair and our laser system is perfect for that."

CosmetiCare (http://www.cosmeticare.com) was founded in 1982 by board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Michael Niccole. Serving thousands of patients each year, CosmetiCare is an award-winning practice that has become one of the most recognized names in aesthetic services in Southern California and throughout the nation. The company offers two locations, in Orange County and in Long Beach. In addition to Dr. Niccole, CosmetiCare's team of medical professionals includes Dr. Burr von Maur and Dr. Sami Hamamji.

The New Medical Negligence Apology and Notice Laws: A Bold New Frontier for Newborn Safety

2013-03-28
Introduction. When a child is born with severe birth injuries such as kernicterus (brain damage) due to extreme jaundice, parents often do not realize that anything is wrong with their baby until days, months, or sometimes years later. That is because jaundice in a newborn baby is too often considered a harmless condition by health care providers. Parents walk out of the hospital smiling broadly, with a yellow newborn in their arms, believing that she is perfectly healthy with a nice tan. They frequently are told by nurses just to stick the baby in the sun for a while. ...

The Hidden Dangers Of Cheerleading

2013-03-28
Decades ago, cheerleaders led crowds at sporting events with pom-poms, clapping and toe kicks. Those days are gone.

In fact, cheerleading accounts for more than 65 percent of all catastrophic injuries suffered by female high school athletes during the past 25 years. The catastrophic injuries from the sport may cause permanent brain injuries, paralysis ...

Older Motorcyclists May Suffer More Severe Injuries In Accidents

2013-03-28
The idea that Americans are settling into rocking chairs as they age is now a myth, if it was ever true. Both younger and older baby boomers -- those born between 1946 and 1964 -- are turning to new hobbies or reconnecting with activities they enjoyed in their younger years. Among the new activities: motorcycles. Between 1998 and 2003, the mean age of motorcycle owners rose from 33 to 43, according to an industry trade association. About a quarter of motorcycle riders in the U.S. are 50 or older. This newfound or rediscovered joy of the open road could come with consequences ...
