LaserHairRemovalWashington.Com Adds New Advanced Laser Clinic to Their Rapidly Growing Site!

LaserHairRemovalWashington.Com has just added the Mullen Center Advanced Laser Clinic of Spokane, Washington to their rapidly growing site. Patients throughout the Spokane area will now be able to visit LaserHairRemovalWashington.Com to find more information concerning these participating clinics.

The Advanced Laser Clinics carefully unite patient concerns with advanced, proven, non-invasive cosmetic technology. They are committed to enhancing the personal well-being, confidence and self-esteem of patients in a safe, professional, ethical environment. The Advanced Laser Clinics of Spokane provide clients with several laser procedures and skin rejuvenation treatments, some of which include: Laser Hair Removal, Permanent Cosmetics, Medical Massage and Microdermabrasion.

The Permanent Cosmetics procedure, which is also known as micro-pigmentation, is the method of inserting small amounts of pigment into the dermal layer of the skin. Typically applied as added lip color, eyeliner, enhancing eyebrows, it can also be used as an alternative to conventional makeup for people who have rushed schedules, allergies to makeup products, skin disorders, poor eyesight or poor hand-eye coordination.

Microdermabrasion is one of the most frequently sought after non-surgical, non-invasive skin care treatments available. It has been performed successfully for years in Europe and is now one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in the United States. Microdermabrasion is safe, quick, convenient and proven effective for all skin colors and types, from light to dark, dry to oily. This age-defying process can give a brighter, smoother appearance to any skin area in need of exfoliation such as face, neck, hands and chest.

By utilizing tools such as FDA-approved equipment, unique service guarantees in writing and trained and certified technicians, the Advanced Laser Clinics have been able to successfully provide permanent cosmetic and Microdermabrasion procedures as well as advanced laser hair removal and massage services to their clients. Now, potential patients in the Spokane and Coeur d’ Alene areas will be able to have their skin rejuvenation and unwanted hair problems treated successfully.

LASER HAIR REMOVAL

The popularity of laser hair removal has increasingly grown, prompting many laser manufacturers to conduct research and seek FDA clearance for their lasers for this indication. The market is growing so quickly that FDA cannot maintain an up-to-date list of all laser manufacturers whose devices have been cleared for hair removal, as this list continues to change. To learn if a specific manufacturer has received FDA clearance, you can check FDA’s Website at http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/databases.html under the 510(k) database. You will need to know the manufacturer or device name of the laser. You can also call FDA’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health, Consumer Staff, at 1-888-INFO-FDA or 301-827-3990, fax your request to 301-443-9535 or send an e-mail to: DSMICA@cdrh.fda.gov.

Manufacturers should be aware that receiving an FDA clearance for general permission to market their devices does not permit them to advertise the lasers for either hair removal or wrinkle treatment, even though hair removal or wrinkle treatment may be a by-product of any cleared laser procedure. Further, manufacturers may not claim that laser hair removal is either painless or permanent unless the FDA determines that there are sufficient data to demonstrate such results. Several manufacturers received FDA permission to claim, “permanent reduction,” NOT “permanent removal” for their lasers. This means that although laser treatments with these devices will permanently reduce the total number of body hairs, they will not result in a permanent removal of all hair. The specific claim granted is “intended to effect stable, long-term, or permanent reduction” through selective targeting of melanin in hair follicles. Permanent hair reduction is defined as the long-term, stable reduction in the number of hairs re-growing after a treatment regime, which may include several sessions. The number of hairs regrowing must be stable over time greater than the duration of the complete growth cycle of hair follicles, which varies from four to twelve months according to body location. Permanent hair reduction does not necessarily imply the elimination of all hairs in the treatment area.

FDA does not make comparisons between systems or how well or safely they work compared to another company’s system. FDA does not recommend one laser system over another.

Lasers cleared for body hair removal are also cleared for facial hair removal.
