What is Laser Hair Removal?
Are you bothered by unwanted body hair that just keeps coming back? If so, laser hair removal may be the treatment for you. Laser hair removal is a non-invasive treatment that uses highly concentrated light to penetrate the follicles of the hair. The laser light is absorbed by the pigment in the hair shaft which generates heat and damages the follicle. This hinders future hair growth for finer, lighter, and fewer hairs.

Laser Hair Removal Treatment
To begin the laser hair removal treatment, the targeted area will be cleansed and a special gel applied to the skin. You will be given protective glasses to wear to protect your eyes from the laser light. The laser hair removal handpiece will then be moved across the treatment area, targeting hair follicles. Some people describe the feeling of laser light as rubber bands snapping across the skin. Depending on the size and number of treatment areas, this process can take anywhere from 15-60 minutes.
Laser Hair Removal Results
Following laser hair removal, there is no downtime, so you can return to your regular activities right away. You may experience slight redness and swelling of the skin. A cold compress can help to reduce these side effects. For the best results, we advise avoiding exposing the treated area to prolonged sunlight and wearing SPF when outdoors.
Because hair grows in cycles, it usually takes 6 to 8 laser hair removal treatments to provide noticeable hair reduction.
