This advanced technology transcends the older, painful hair removal treatments to deliver long-term lasting results. Because the laser treats more than one hair at a time, it is possible to treat larger areas such as the back, shoulders, arms, legs, and face. Laser treatments leave your skin looking and feeling smoother and silkier. Best of all, Laser Hair Removal treatments are a safe, fast, gentle, and effective alternative method for hair removal.
Commonly Asked Questions:
How many treatments will I need?
The number of treatment you may require for optimal long-term benefits depends on the area you wish to have treated, the hair density, and your hair's growth cycle. Hair grows in cycles and many factors influence its growth. Age, ethnicity, weight, hormones, diet, medication, and metabolism all play a part in your hair's location, thickness, and resilience.
The laser slows the glowing capacity of follicles in the growth cycle at the time of treatment. Since some hair follicles may enter their growth cycle after your treatment, multiple treatments may be required to deliver optimal results. Treatment results will vary from patient to patient depending on skin and hair color.
What are laser treatments like?
Laser Hair Removal is a gentle process. First, the area is scanned with the laser. The laser energy passes through the skin and is absorbed by the pigment of the hair follicles. In a fraction of a second most of the treatment hair follicles are disabled. Treatment can last a few minutes to an hour depending on the size of the area treated.
What happens following the treatment?
After treatment you can return to your normal activities immediately. The use of sunscreen is recommended on any treated area that is exposed to the sun before and after treatment.
