Laser Hair Removal in Bridgeport
by Donald Hayward

Bridgeport is known in having specialized clinics for hair removal through laser. Bridgeport is located in southeastern Fairfield County, and has the city population of 139,529 people. The city is considered to be part of the greater New York metropolitan area. Its nickname within Connecticut borders is The Park City. The cost for laser hair removal treatment in the city is $350. The laser hair removal clinics in Bridgeport specialize in providing laser treatment for all major body areas such as the back, bikini area, arms, legs, etc.

Majority of today’s laser hair removal clinics and centers are well versed in current aesthetic laser technologies. It is part of their responsibility to be constantly on top of the latest developments and advancements in the field of aesthetic laser technology.

Manufacturers of such types of laser devices are continually performing research and development work to make the technology more affordable to potential clients in Bridgeport, Connecticut and all across the United States, Canada and other parts of North America. This is to safeguard the general public from fly-by-night laser hair removal centers and it is up to the client to determine which clinics are reputable.

Laser hair removal has been being examined and developed for years. The laser restriction were carefully defined to reduce re growth by studying the anatomy of the hair follicle and matching up the laser light and pulse duration to the follicle size, depth, and location to safely and effectively remove hair. The laser is effective on the hair follicles in the active growing phase. The laser is pulsed for a very short duration, releasing a gentle beam of light on to the skin. The light energy passes harmlessly through the skin, but is soaking up by the pigment in the hair follicle. By absorbing this laser energy, the hair follicles are stopped, weaken their ability to grow.

Basically, laser hair removal is an aesthetic procedure that as of yet can not accommodate to everyone. The perfect candidate is one who has generally lighter skin tones and darker hair. However, current developments in aesthetic laser technology has made it possible to treat patients whose skin tones range from light to dark; the problem is there is no laser unit available in the market that can treat people who have blond, red, gray and white hairs! If you are making a search of a laser hair removal clinic in Bridgeport CT, do not be misled if there would be claims that they can treat lighter-colored hair; it is simply not true.

Regardless if this is the case, do not despair if you are in need of laser hair removal and you happen to be a resident of Bridgeport. Since it is still a part of the New York metropolitan area, you can always go to Brooklyn, Manhattan, or Long Island to find the right clinic for you. You should be aware that since Bridgeport is generally considered a suburb of NYC, there may not be many choices for you when searching for a laser hair removal center. There’s no reason why you can not go to the Big Apple and search for the right laser hair removal center!
