Relish in the sensation of smooth, hair-free skin with this safe and efficient hair removal method. Our advanced laser technology comfortably removes unwanted hair on the body and face, leaving your skin as soft as silk. Wave goodbye to expensive, temporary remedies such as waxing, threading, and shaving—and enjoy the only permanent solution for hair-free, spotless skin.
During treatment, we use a safe blast of laser light to penetrate the skin and target the follicles of the unwanted hair. The laser is absorbed by the pigment in the hair (melanin), where it converts to heat. This damages the hair follicles and prevents them from growing new hairs in the future. Our laser specifically targets the hair without damaging the skin or leaving you with razor burn or ingrown hairs.
Hair growth goes through different stages, and laser hair removal targets the hair in its anagen phase (active growth phase). However, all the hair on the face and body is not in the active growth phase at the same time. Therefore, laser hair removal treatments need to be repeated over a period of time to ensure all hairs are removed.
For most patients, six laser hair removal sessions per area are required for full results. Some patients have thicker hair, and some bodies repair damaged hair cells faster than others. In those cases, more sessions can be required to achieve the desired result. In general, patients can expect a 10% to 25% reduction in hair after their first treatment.
It is very important to avoid tanning at least two weeks before and after a laser hair removal treatment, including direct sun tanning, spray tan, or tanning beds. Sun exposure, as well as tanning products, can make the skin more sensitive to heat and to the laser—which can result in discoloration in the form of hypo- or hyperpigmentation. After treatment, we recommend applying SPF 30+ to the treated areas.
Laser hair removal requires no downtime and minimal post-treatment care. It is convenient, quick, and precise. The most important thing to remember after treatment is to protect the skin from the sun. This includes tanning beds.
