Picking an NJ Laser Hair Removal Doctor or Clinic

The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) has deemed that a laser hair removal treatment is indeed a medical procedure. The problem comes in is that licensing requirements are not the same from this state to that state. You should check into the requirements to be a state licensed laser hair removal professional from whichever state you reside. But, if you live in New Jersey, there's definitely something that you should know. Only a licensed physician can legally perform laser hair removal procedures under certain circumstances. If your procedure is going to involve an IPLD device or a laser, they are strictly prohibited to allow either one of their nurses or technicians to perform the procedure.

So your first choice for a NJ laser hair removal procedure should definitely be a licensed physician and you might want to ensure that they have been trained with using the laser hair removal equipment, just ask them and get comfortable with them. Even if you find out that a laser hair removal procedure isn't right for you and you and the physician decide upon another type of procedure, for your safety you would want a board-certified physician supervising any type of medical procedures you may under-go.

Not only that, but you also would want to make sure that the doctor is board-certified in a particular field of practice to perform laser hair removal. What you are looking for here is a doctor that specializes in dermatology or some form of cosmetic surgery. You wouldn't want a foot doctor removing hair from more sensitive areas just because they are certified. Now I'm not knocking them at all, just if you are anything like me I'd want a foot doctor to work on my feet and either a dermatologist or plastic/cosmetic surgery doctor working on the hair on my skin for a laser hair removal treatment.

Also, another qualification to make my list for a NJ laser hair removal specialist is they've got to have some experience. I wouldn't want to be number 1 for that doctor just starting out. Yeah you might catch some deals for a laser hair removal procedure if you become part of their "laser hair removal portfolio" and show your before and after pictures of your laser hair removal procedure, but I wouldn't want to be first in line at the office. I wouldn't even want to be the tenth laser hair removal procedure that the doctor has performed. No offense, but to make my list, you need to have a couple hundred laser hair removal procedures under your belt and been in the laser hair removal business for at least a year.

Kind of walking hand in hand with my experience qualification to make the list, you've got to have a well-rounded office or clinic to perform the laser hair removal procedure. Now again I'm not talking about spacious living or anything here but more along the lines of multiple types of laser hair removal machines as there are quite a few. Why? Simple because different lasers are needed to work on different types of skins and hair textures. If you don't have a multitude of these laser hair removal machines it shows to me a lack of experience and a definite "new-ness" to the profession.

If you are in New Jersey, find out where they were trained as they have to have had some form of training to become licensed in the state of New Jersey. Again, I wouldn't advise getting a laser hair removal procedure or any other type of this form of medical procedure done by someone who wasn't trained in their craft. I'm talking hands-on laser hair removal training here. One where they were supervised and instructed. Shows a bit of a commitment to me for someone to take time away from their practice to receive this type of specialized training in laser hair removal. I definitely wouldn't want someone who was either shown by their sales representative or is simply a book worm and book smart. Yes, beware, these scenario's still come about and I'd suggest you diligently due your homework and research different NJ laser hair removal clinics and physicians before making your choice.

Don't forget about the referral route either as these sometimes turn out to be a great source of information that at times will put you in contact with some very real, trained professionals. But it should be no substitute for doing your homework first and creating your own list and criteria for finding that outstanding New Jersey laser hair removal clinic or professional that will do their best in providing you their service of laser hair removal.

Top 5 Reasons To Get NJ Laser Hair Removal

To sleep or not. To talk or not. To eat or not. You get the picture. Everyday we make choices. Some we have to make and others we make without even thinking twice about it as it's just innate in our nature and culture. But that's not the point. The point is everyday of our lives we have to choose something and typically we make more choices than we even know or remember. What to wear, what to say, when to speak, do I need to shave my legs or can the stubble pass one more day as I don't have time to get the job done right, all choices that we ponder on a daily basis. All these decisions are of a personal nature and only you can answer them. Hopefully the reason you are here is because you are looking to make decision on whether or not to have NJ Laser hair removal one because you have some unwanted hair and two because you live in New Jersey. Let's breakdown a list of the top 5 reasons to go out and get the procedure done if you are on the fence about laser hair removal.

Reason #1 for NJ Laser Hair Removal:
Bottom line is you want to look good and you have some stray or wandering unwanted hair that you simply want off your body now. Getting rid of that hair is going to make you look and feel sexier. Who doesn't want that smooth and tone skin you see everywhere these days on billboards, in magazines and on TV (although with the advent of HD, some things are being brought to the surface that we never really saw exposed before, ha ha).

Reason #2 for NJ Laser Hair Removal:
When you look good you feel good and your confidence will follow suit. No more time spent worrying about exposing your skin due to a "hairy" situation. The self-consciousness tends to just slip away and gets lost never to be found as you can walk tall and proud and confident in your new look. As an added bonus, others tend to notice someone that stands out, what makes that person stand out, that extra added boost of confidence, just don't go all big-headed with the new situ and new you.

Reason #3 for NJ Laser Hair Removal:
These days all we have is time, that's the one thing that we can control somewhat. Unfortunately for most of us it's the one thing that we are seeing less and less of. Typically, a laser hair removal treatment isn't a process that takes an inordinate amount of time. Most basic procedures are fairly quick but you will need to have follow-up applications to achieve the maximum benefit of a laser hair removal process. These can be done during a lunch break from work so no time is really lost only a meal.

Reason #4 for NJ Laser Hair Removal:
The sheer convenience of not having to shave your legs every other day to maintain that smooth, sexy leg appeal will give you back time in those spots when you really should be getting out the door already. I don't know about you but to me shaving, for lack of a better term, sucks. I hate it. I use to tend to try and push my luck and just through on a pair of hose and pray that the stubble doesn't break thru or that it wasn't to noticeable as my leg hairs tend to be very dark. With laser hair removal, you don't have to do that anymore. No more shaving is enough for me. Plus you don't have to deal with the discomfort of ingrown hairs caused by shaving.

Reason #5 for NJ Laser Hair Removal:
You will save money. After the initial expenditures in having a laser hair removal procedure performed, just think of all the "stuff" you don't have to purchase anymore. Razors, shaving cream or gel, wax kits, nylons (you can go bare as your legs can be silky smooth already) and whatever else is in your arsenal to tame the mane on your legs or underarms. True, you will spend a bit more upfront but that'll even out over time after your laser hair removal treatment simply because you won't need to purchase those extra products to keep-up with your trimming experience.

Bonus Reason for NJ Laser Hair Removal:
You live in New Jersey of course! Where else would you think about getting a laser hair removal treatment!

NJ Laser Hair Removal

NJ laser hair removal is not gender specific. Both men and women have this procedure done on just about a daily occurrence. What you can expect from a laser hair removal procedure is to end up with that smooth skin look that you have always dreamed about. Although it's not a permanent solution as nothing is forever except death and you cannot say permanent in this type of treatment, it is a very viable solution for maintenance and control for removing all that unwanted body hair. Whether it is on your upper torso (lip, chin, neck, back, chest, underarms and arms, hands) or your lower body (bikini, legs, feet), laser hair removal can effectively secure hair removal from just about any place. And just to ease your fears, laser hair removal in NJ has proven safe and is also a relatively pain free procedure. That's not to say that there might not be some discomfort, but at most times it's very minimal.

A typical laser hair removal in NJ procedure will entail removing the hair from the actual hair follicle. This is down using a low energy laser beam and directing it towards the follicle itself. It works by the hair absorbing the energy from the laser and as more and more laser energy is absorbed, the follicle will fail to produce more hair and actually dies. One of the best body features for this type of procedure is for a fair to light skinned person having predominately dark body hair. For most people that have darker skin or tans you will want to try and avoid it. Once you have gone through a treatment you might develop some bumps or some redness around the area that received the laser hair treatment but this is pretty normal and doesn't tend to last long. There is no real need to worry yourself over this as it's fairly normal due to the laser and the effect on the hair being removed. You can ease some of the discomfort by using an ordinary ice pack or compress and some moisurizer.

New Jersey offers an abundance of centers and clinics for laser hair removal. One of the goals of this place is to offer some reviews for these places that perform laser hair removal in NJ. These laser hair removal center reviews will take a little time to put together and publish here so please check back often. We hope to feature a variety of different places around NJ for your viewing pleasure so just give us a bookmark and checkback if you are thinking about having some laser hair removal in NJ done on you. If you have had the procedure or maybe a friend has at a NJ facility and had a pleasurable experience or a not so pleasurable experience, feel free to drop me a line and let me know and I'll do my best to put it up here for all to see. Be sure to let me know where it was at and what part of your body was worked on. You can also leave a comment here on the site. I'm always online and browsing around myself so if you run across any other sites about NJ laser hair removal that would be beneficial to the readers here as well please forward that along too.

On to one of the big subjects thats close to everyones heart or pocketbook these days, just what does laser hair removal cost. This is another goal of this site is to help those looking for laser hair removal prices find something of an estimate as to what to expect. I say estimate as it's not like going to McDonald's and knowing that a double cheeseburger off the value menu is always going to be ninety-nine cents. On the contrary, with laser hair removal there is a lot of fluctuation in the prices as there are a variety of determining factors. Ranging from the size of the area being treated to the actual amount of hair to be removed, prices can and will fluctuate. We'll go into that more on an upcoming post. In fact, you might as well get ready for this one, it will typically take more than one visit to a NJ laser hair removal clinic to get the job done. Typically it ranges from about 3 - 6 visits per body area, some maybe more, some maybe less. But if you want that long term result of a hairless piece of your body, you just gotta do what you just gotta do.
