Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal is a remarkable new technology that ends costly repetitive procedures such as waxing, tweezing, shaving and electrolysis. This technology is safe and convenient offering you an alternative that was never before available.
You have shaved, waxed, applied special creams and even resorted to tweezers to remove unwanted hair. All these methods are either painful, uncomfortable or provide on temporary relief. Body hair removal does not have to be difficult.
Unwanted hair is a common problem for both men and women, and it is often
a source of embarrassment and loss of confidence.
However, with the advent of Laser Technology, the removal of unwanted hair
is now fast and effective yet safe and gentle. This is why many hair removal
candidates prefer laser hair removal over temporary methods.
Hair removal lasers utilize light at a particular wavelength which is highly
absorbed by the pigment within the hair. The light is converted to energy
which completely disables the hair follicle and growing cells without damaging
delicate pores or structures of the skin, as is often the case with electrolysis.
A laser is also different from a light-based or pulsed light hair removal device. Lasers
deliver one wavelength of light to a particular target to heat it up and ultimately
disable or destroy it. It is very focused (not filtered) and does the
best job of treating exactly what we want it to. An IPL or intense pulsed light
device is not a laser. It is filtered light. The wavelength range
is larger, but because the light is filtered out, it's power is diminished
and it is much more superficial. Many more treatments would be needed
and still the hair may not be permanently destroyed. A laser treatment
may cost a little bit more than a light-based treatment because the cost of
the equipment is higher. However, fewer treatments are needed.
All body hair, on both men and women, can be treated, including backs, legs, underarms, bikini lines, nose hair, ears, and facial hair. Facial, underarm and bikini areas are usually completed in less than ten minutes. Legs, backs and other large areas can take an hour or more. We find that 3 to 6 treatments spaced about 6-8 weeks apart are required for complete results. This number will depend on how many active hair follicles the patient has, as well as many other contributing factors.
Laser hair removal is a very safe treatment with few side effects. Some patients describe the actual therapy as feeling like mild stinging or pinching, but this discomfort subsides when each treatment ends. Some people experience temporary redness or swelling after treatment. Very rarely blistering can happen.
It's time to shed your relationship with unwanted hair once and for all with Laser Hair Removal.
