Lasers work by emitting a specialized light which passes through the skin and is absorbed by the melanin (color) in the hair follicle. This damages the follicle and causes the hair to fall out.

The most commonly treated areas for women include legs, bikini line, underarms, back, face, and upper lip. Laser hair removal is safe (FDA-cleared), effective, and provides long-lasting results.

Unlike many other hair removal methods, laser treatment leaves your skin looking and feeling much smoother and softer.[/text_output][gap size=”-75px”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row no_margin=”true” padding_top=”0px” padding_bottom=”0px” border=”none”][vc_column width=”1/1″][custom_headline type=”left” level=”h3″ looks_like=”h4″]Product Highlights[/custom_headline][icon_list][icon_list_item type=”plus-circle” style=”color: #234970″]Can be performed on almost any area of the body with unwanted hair.[/icon_list_item][icon_list_item type=”plus-circle” style=”color: #234970″]A series of 4-6 sessions typically results in permanent hair reduction in most people.[/icon_list_item][icon_list_item type=”plus-circle” style=”color: #234970″]Treatment for most hair colors.[/icon_list_item][/icon_list][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row no_margin=”true” padding_top=”0px” padding_bottom=”0px” border=”none”][vc_column width=”1/1″][custom_headline type=”left” level=”h3″ looks_like=”h4″]Who are candidates for treatment?[/custom_headline][text_output]Millions of men and women have been successfully treated.

A laser is then directed toward the area and produces a beam of highly concentrated light. Without damaging the surrounding tissue, controlled pulses oflight penetrate the skin and are absorbed by hair follicles. The heat generated in the process discourages and ultimately destroys the hair and its potential for regrowth. Post-treatment includes a clean up of the treated area and the application of a sunblock. Large areas such those found on the back, shoulders, abdomen, and legs are rapidly treated. Smaller facial areas like the lip, chin, and beard can be treated in minutes.[/text_output][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row no_margin=”true” padding_top=”0px” padding_bottom=”0px” border=”none”][vc_column width=”1/1″][custom_headline type=”left” level=”h3″ looks_like=”h4″]Will the treatments hurt?[/custom_headline][text_output]The procedure is well tolerated by most patients since only a mild sting is felt. Local anesthesia and pain medication are not required. A topical anesthetic may be used for the treatment of more sensitive areas.[/text_output][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row no_margin=”true” padding_top=”0px” padding_bottom=”0px” border=”none”][vc_column width=”1/1″][custom_headline type=”left” level=”h3″ looks_like=”h4″]Are they any adverse reactions to treatment?[/custom_headline][text_output]Side effects are rare. You may experience temporary redness and a mild “sunburn”- like effect that may last a couple hours. Sensitivity, irritation, and redness may occur at the treatment site but then quickly disappears. Susceptibility to these side effects will be identified during your consultation. To greatly minimize the risk of side effects, sun exposure must be limited prior to and immediately following treatment.[/text_output][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row no_margin=”true” padding_top=”0px” padding_bottom=”0px” border=”none”][vc_column width=”1/1″][custom_headline type=”left” level=”h3″ looks_like=”h4″]How many laser sessions will be needed?
[/custom_headline][text_output]During the procedure, the technician will guide the laser over the treatment area. As the laser pulses intermittently, it delivers light energy, which travels through the skin and is absorbed by the hair follicles. Hair follicles in the anagen growth phase have more pigment than follicles in the other inactive phases of the growth cycle. Therefore, they are able to absorb the light energy delivered by the laser. Those hair follicles that absorb energy, or heat, from the laser will be damaged. Hairs that were present in the follicles at the time of treatment will fall out, and future hair growth will be impaired. As not all hairs are actively growing at the same time, a single procedure will not treat all of the hair follicles in the area. As the follicles in the transitional and resting periods return to the active growth phase, you may notice some hair growth in the region. This is why multiple treatments are usually required to treat a single area completely.

We recommend 4-6 treatments to effectively treat all hair follicles.[/text_output][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row no_margin=”true” padding_top=”0px” padding_bottom=”0px” border=”none”][vc_column width=”1/1″][custom_headline type=”left” level=”h3″ looks_like=”h4″]What color of hair is less effective to be treated with the laser machine?[/custom_headline][text_output]Laser Hair Removal is less effective in the following hair colors/types: Red, Blonde and gray.[/text_output][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row no_margin=”true” padding_top=”0px” padding_bottom=”0px” border=”none”][vc_column width=”1/1″][custom_headline type=”left” level=”h3″ looks_like=”h4″]What is the interval period between sessions?[/custom_headline][text_output]Normally laser hair removal treatments are spaced from three to eight weeks in between sessions depending on the body area and the hair cycle for that area.
