Laser hair removal is the process of removing unwanted hair by means of exposure to pulses of laser light that destroy the hair follicle. The light is absorbed by the pigment, destroying the existing hair follicle from producing new hair. Laser hair removal can remove hair from anywhere for several months to years, as the results differ widely from person to person. It is a great alternative to repeated shaving, plucking, waxing and chemical topicals, as it is less traumatic for the skin.

 

Depending on the area being treated, we generally recommend waiting for 4-8 weeks between sessions, since only 10% to 30% of your body’s hair follicles are in a growth phase at a given time. Numerous sessions are required to achieve visible results. Most patients need a minimum of 6 to 8 treatments, depending on their type of hair, and skin color. Not all lasers are safe for darker skin tones, and we recommend a complimentary consultation before pursuing treatment options. Laser hair removal does not work for those with white, grey, red or blond hair color as there is no dark pigment for the laser to target during treatment. Certain areas (notably men's faces) may require considerably more treatments to 

achieve desired results.

 

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING TREATMENT:

- Just before the procedure, your hair that will be undergoing treatment will be trimmed if necessary.

- Laser equipment will be adjusted according to the color, thickness, and location of your hair being treated as well as your skin color. 

- Slight redness, swelling and sensitivity are normal after treatment; however, clients can resume their normal activities. 

- The targeted hair will fall out of the follicle over the next 2-4 weeks.
