When hair grows where you don't want it to, it's a problem. Unsightly, embarrassing and very common, unwanted or excessive body hair affects both women and men. Women often experience it on the face, the legs, under the arms, or in the bikini area. For men, the problem areas are typically the back, chest, or face.
How Laser Therapy Removes The Hair
Pulsed light penetrates deep into the hair follicle where it triggers a photothermal reaction that heats up the follicle. At the same time, heat travels down through the skin to help raise the temperature inside the hair follicle, which results in its destruction. The result is long-term removal of hair.
What To Expect From Laser Hair Removal
Like any long-term hair removal treatment, laser therapy can only remove hair that is in its growth phase at the time of treatment. Individual hairs go into their own growth phase at different times. In order to remove all of the unwanted hairs during their growth phase, a series of treatments are usually scheduled and spaced about a month apart. A typical treatment session takes from 5 to 45 minutes, depending on the size of the body area being treated.
What Makes Us Different
We use the GentleLASE Alexandrite Laser for your treatments. This laser has the largest spot size (18mm) of any other laser hair removal machine. What this means for you is much faster treatment times. The GentleLASE also uses a built-in cooling system, the Dynamic Cooling DeviceTM. Cryogen (the cooling agent) sprays directly on the skin before and after each pulse of the laser. This makes the treatment much more comfortable for you.
