Laser treatment is a non-invasive procedure used to permanently reduce unwanted hair and for long-term hair removal. Laser treatment can effectively eliminate undesired hair from all parts of the body. Unlike many other hair removal methods, laser treatment leaves your skin looking and feeling much smoother and softer.

I cant believe the time that I saved not having to plucky tweeze, wax, or deal with my unwanted hair. My skin always feels smooth."
C. Hogan, age 41

What is treatment like?

Preliminary setup involves cleansing and shaving the area to be treated. A laser is then directed toward the area and produces a beam of highly concentrated light. Without damaging the surrounding tissue, controlled pulses of light penetrate the skin and are absorbed by hair follicles. The heat generated in the process discourages and ultimately destroys the hair and its potential for regrowth. Post-treatment includes a clean up of the treated area and the application of a sunblock. Large areas such those found on the back, shoulders, abdomen, and legs are rapidly treated. Smaller facial areas like the lip, chin, and beard can be treated in minutes.

What are the benefits of Laser Hair Removal?

• FDA-approved for permanent hair reduction.
• No "down time". Immediately resume regular activities.
• Less pain and discomfort compared to other treatment methods.
• Large areas can be quickly treated.
• Chances of scarring and pigmentation change are minimized.

How many treatments are required?

Because the laser affects only hair follicles that are in the growth phase, more than one treatment maybe necessary. During a consultation, the approximate number of required treatments will be determined based on your particular situation.

Who are candidates for treatment?

Millions of men and women have been successfully treated. Treatment is customized according to hair color, texture, and the area being targeted. Treatment for most hair colors typically yields high levels of success and patient satisfaction. Treatment is effective on all skin types, including dark-skinned individuals of all ethnic origins.

Is treatment painful?

The procedure is well tolerated by most patients since only a mild sting is felt. Local anesthesia and pain medication are not required. A topical anesthetic may be used for the treatment of more sensitive areas.

Are there any possible side effects?

Side effects are rare. Sensitivity, irritation, and redness may occur at the treatment site but then quickly disappears. Susceptibility to these side effects will be identified during your consultation. To greatly minimize the risk of side effects, sun exposure must be limited prior to and immediately following treatment.
