ARE YOU TIRED OF CONSTANTLY DEALING WITH UNWANTED BODY HAIR?
Do you skip certain clothing items or activities due to hairy situations? Are shaving, plucking, and waxing taking up too much of your time? Would you like to be well on your way to becoming hair-free for good with a non-invasive procedure? If so, you may want to start thinking about getting laser hair removal treatments at our clinic.
HOW DOES LASER HAIR REMOVAL WORK?
Your practitioner will begin by selecting an appropriate handpiece to treat the desired area and will calibrate the laser to your individual skin color, hair color, and hair thickness. Afterward, the handpiece is passed directly over the treatment area in order to break down hair at the base. Damaged follicles eventually fall from the body leaving you with finer, less noticeable hair.
AM I A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR LASER HAIR REMOVAL?
All our lasers are safe for all different types of skin tones ranging from 1-6 making laser hair removal a possibility for nearly anyone. If you’re bothered by unwanted hair throughout the face and body, you may be a good fit for the procedure. Your hair removal specialist will help determine your candidacy for the laser treatments at the time of your initial consultation.
WHAT AREAS CAN BE TREATED WITH LASER HAIR REMOVAL?
Hair removal with laser treatments is possible virtually anywhere unwanted hair exists. Whether you’d like to remove facial peach fuzz from the chin, between the brows, or on top of the ears, laser hair removal can help. Treatments are also great for removing hair on larger areas of the body such as the underarm area, legs, bikini area, back, and more.
HOW LONG DOES A TYPICAL TREATMENT TAKE?
Laser hair removal is a non-invasive procedure. We offer a topical numbing cream to ensure maximum comfort during your procedure. Laser hair removal treatments typically last between 10-minutes and 1-hour, depending on the areas being treated, and result in an 85% reduction of hair. All procedures are performed by either a doctor or a medical aesthetician under the close supervision of our world-renowned medical director.
WHAT RESULTS WILL I SEE?
Laser hair removal will significantly reduce hair in the targeted area. You can expect to achieve an 85% hair reduction upon completion of your treatments. Some of our patients have achieved as much as a 99% hair reduction. However, results will vary from patient to patient. We offer touch-up sessions as future hormone changes may cause hair to regrow in previously treated areas.
Treatments are only able to remove hairs that are in their active growth phase. Most patients require a minimum of 6 sessions when targeting body areas. If you are targeting the face, a minimum of 8 sessions is typically required to complete your treatment. Each subsequent session provides smoother skin with fewer and less noticeable hairs.
IS THERE ANY DOWNTIME?
Laser hair removal doesn’t require any downtime. You can get back to most normal activities without restriction. However, we recommend, applying aloe Vera gel or a copper moisturizer to prevent redness within the first 2-hours following treatment. Most patients are able to schedule their hair removal treatments during their lunch break and get back to work immediately.
You should avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and sunless tanning creams for up to 2-weeks. Refrain from strenuous exercise for 24-hours and avoid exfoliating the treated areas until you notice the hair has fallen out.
