Laser hair removal is one of the most permanent ways to get rid of unwanted body hair, offering permanent results without shaving, waxing, tweezing or electrolysis treatments – as well as eliminating their associated discomfort and pain.
With today’s technological advances, almost anyone can benefit from laser hair removal treatment. Our physician can adjust our state-of-the-art machine according to your skin tone and hair type for maximum efficacy.
Safe
Laser hair removal can be an efficient and safe method for eliminating unwanted hair. Laser energy targets the melanin in hair follicles to target them with laser light energy; when this light energy hits it converts it to heat energy that damages follicles without harming surrounding skin follicles preventing new hair growth without the need for shaving, waxing, or tweezing. This process helps eliminate future growth as it prevents new hairs from growing back.
An experienced technician can prepare your skin for laser treatment so that it causes minimal discomfort. Prior to the procedure, avoid shaving and other temporary hair removal methods for six weeks prior to your appointment and shave just prior to getting laser therapy, to maximize efficacy while decreasing pain levels.
To avoid unwanted side effects, always select a licensed and experienced laser technician. They know how to use the laser effectively so as not to harm either skin or hair follicles; additionally they will tailor settings according to skin tone and hair type and suggest an ideal treatment plan that ensures optimal results.
At laser hair removal treatments, your technician will move a hand piece over your skin covered with aloe gel and use a laser beam that pulses constantly through it, sending light absorbed by melanin-containing follicles as energy that damages or disables them and produces heat that damages them permanently. Once destroyed, these destroyed follicles won’t regrow new hair; results are long-term.
Laser hair removal procedures tend to be relatively painless, although some individuals may experience slight discomfort that has been described as feeling like rubber band snapping against their skin. But most can tolerate the mild discomfort. After treatment, your skin may look reddened and feel warm; this is normal, although prolonged sunlight exposure should be avoided since your skin will be more vulnerable than before.
Laser hair removal offers an effective and permanent way to get rid of unwanted hair on the face, arms, chest, back and bikini area. It is pain-free and offers permanent results; any new growth may be soft and fine instead of coarse and thick.
Effective
Laser hair removal is one of the most efficient techniques for permanently eliminating unwanted body and facial hair, alleviating associated problems like folliculitis and skin discoloration. Furthermore, compared with traditional depilation techniques, laser treatment is safer and more effective.
Laser light passes through the skin to reach each pigmented hair follicle and converts its light energy to heat, which disables them and causes them to produce less hair – ultimately stopping its production altogether. Treatment itself is relatively painless; most patients describe it as similar to receiving a warm pinprick sensation; topical anesthetics may help alleviate discomfort but they aren’t always necessary.
Laser treatment not only removes hair but can also reduce redness and swelling. While some individuals may notice these effects immediately after their first laser session, others may take several to witness these mild effects that do not last very long. It is recommended to stay out of direct sunlight after your appointment as per instructions given for your specific procedure.
To achieve optimal results from laser treatment sessions, plan to attend several. Lasers work best on newly grown hair follicles; for optimal results it is wise to schedule appointments four to eight weeks post treatment.
Before receiving laser light therapy, it is advisable to forego plucking, waxing, sugaring and the use of hair removal creams on the area being treated in the six weeks leading up to it. Also try and stay out of direct sunlight as laser light may temporarily lighten skin pigmentations in some patients.

Non-invasive
Laser hair removal can quickly and safely eliminate unwanted facial and body hair without harming surrounding skin. The procedure uses powerful laser beams to target and destroy hair follicles, thus stopping new hair growth from the follicles themselves. Results are long-lasting while treatments are much less invasive than traditional methods; laser removal also helps avoid ingrown hairs caused by shaving, waxing and plucking processes while decreasing pigmentation problems that might accompany hair growth.
Laser treatments can treat entire faces within minutes, while larger areas like legs and backs may take up to an hour. Before your treatment begins, your practitioner will clean and numb the area using a gel. They will put goggles over their eyes as protection, and cover any hair growth with protective shielding. After your practitioner positions their laser beam, you may feel an impact similar to snapping rubber bands against your skin – plus detect an unpleasant odor from burned hairs!
People tend to find laser hair removal to be relatively painless, although some redness and swelling may occur for short periods after each treatment session. Any discomfort will subside within minutes after your session is finished; others may experience temporary skin lightening after laser hair removal treatments if their hair color differs considerably from their skin.
Laser hair removal must only be undertaken by trained and licensed dermatologists; unqualified providers could cause irreparable harm or permanent side effects due to its powerful laser beam that could lead to serious injuries if misused improperly.
Before your treatment, it is advisable to avoid tanning lotions and other darkening agents, as this will increase skin sensitivity to laser treatments. You will probably require multiple sessions at four- to six-week intervals as well as periodic touch up sessions throughout its lifespan in order to reach desired results; while this procedure typically is not covered by insurance plans; flexible spending money or financing solutions could provide access to funds for this procedure.
Fast
If you are tired of constantly shaving, waxing, or plucking to get rid of unwanted body hair, laser treatment may be an ideal alternative. Unlike temporary methods of hair removal such as waxing and plucking, lasers work by permanently killing hair follicles – saving both money and time while increasing confidence levels and helping reduce embarrassing ingrowns. Plus, laser treatment is quick and painless – often finishing in just 15-20 minutes for facial treatments!
Before your laser hair removal session, it is essential that you follow some basic guidelines. First and foremost, be sure you shaved the area to be treated – this will ensure that hair remains as short as possible and maximize the efficacy of treatment. In addition, sun exposure and spray tans should be avoided prior to laser hair removal as these can increase hyperpigmentation on skin, while anticoagulant medications could potentially increase bleeding during treatment.
