Laser Hair Removal

Who has time to shave, wax or give up precious time with painful electrolysis? IPL Hair Removal is a quick, safe and convenient way for both men and women to remove unwanted hair from any area on your body - including legs, back, underarms, bikini, neck and face!

What is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) hair removal offers a gentle, long-lasting solution to unwanted body hair. Imagine not having to shave, tweeze or wax. Based on technology used for nearly a decade, laser hair removal causes permanent hair reduction without damaging the epidermis, regardless of skin type. It is the most comfortable and efficient method to remove unwanted hair.

How does Laser Hair Removal work? 

Laser hair removal systems gently remove unwanted hair. Laser light energy
creates heat as it passes through the skin and targets the melanin found in
the hair follicle. By heating up the hair follicle during its active phase, the laser disables the follicle's ability to produce hair without affecting surrounding tissue. In clinical trials to date using a number of different lasers and intense pulsed light hair removal systems, some test sites remained hair-free for up to 2 years.

Is Laser Hair Removal Permanent?

Laser Hair Removal guarantees permanent hair REDUCTION. It is important to emphasize that there is no guarantee that laser hair removal will be permanent, but it will reduce the number of hairs growing back after treatment. In the event that hair regrowth occurs, it is often lighter and finer. The FDA has approved several laser manufacturers to claim permanent hair reduction. The results tend to be additive, i.e. more treatments lead to greater degrees of permanent hair reduction. Results vary based on patient, laser and practitioner.

Advantages

Laser hair removal is a non-invasive method of photoepilation, and does not require needles or messy chemical creams. Since thousands of hairs can be zapped in a single treatment session, large areas like the back, shoulders, arms and legs can be effectively and efficiently treated.

• The majority of laser hair removal patients have experienced long-lasting hair removal or permanent hair reduction.

• Treatments are very safe when performed properly.

• Hair may come back lighter in color or finer in texture.

• Thanks to new technology it is less painful than waxing and electrolysis.

Preparing for Laser Hair Removal

• Stay away from the sun in the weeks prior to a laser hair removal session as tanned skin WILL INHIBIT the effectiveness of hair removal.

• As with any laser or medical treatment - If you are taking medication, check with your physician before having laser treatment performed.

• The area to be treated must be shaved the day of the laser hair removal session.

How long do I have to stay out of the sun before or after an IPL or Laser treatment?

It is recommended that you stay out of the sun 3 weeks prior and 3 weeks after an IPL or laser treatment. However, we never recommend that you spend time out in the sun, but if so, it is always essential to wear an spf.
