Laser hair removal is a fast and permanent method to get rid of unwanted facial and body hair. The technology has steadily improved over the past 10 years. Most importantly, our lasers are FDA-Approved.As the chilled handpiece glides comfortably across your skin, the laser beam, which is about the size of a dime, pulses, targeting dozens of pigmented hair roots. Unfortunately, it does not treat blonde, red or gray hair. The laser permanently destroys approximately 20% of the actively growing hair with each treatment.
The laser handpiece glides across the skin, comfortably cooling it, virtually as fast as shaving. Compared to tedious, painful, electrolysis; most areas can be treated in minutes. For example: upper lip 1 minute, underarms 5 minutes, and bikini lines 10 minutes.
Because we chill the skin 1st, you probably will only feel a split-second of discomfort, which is very tolerable and similar to plucking; definitely less than waxing or electrolysis. Additionally, you may opt to use our recommended topical anesthetic cream. This topical anesthetic should be used sparingly, as directed for specific areas.
Patients should avoid excessive sun exposure and tanning before and during treatments periods.
Our Laser Hair Removal process allows patients go right back to work or continue their regular activities immediately afterwards. You might notice a slight flushing to the area, like after exercising, that usually resolves within an hour.
