Laser Hair Removal is an alternative to the irritating side effects of shaving. This procedure uses laser light beams to target the hair follicle to reduce hair growth in that area. Laser hair removal works by eliminating the production of hair with laser energy. The laser light is absorbed by hair follicles and destroys the pigment. It does this without damaging the skin and surrounding tissue. A series of treatments will be required at 4 – 8-week intervals, during which you won’t have to worry about waxing, shaving, or plucking. The most common areas for laser hair removal are lip, chin, underarms, bikini area, and legs. Patients with unwanted hair, irritating ingrown hairs, and those who spend a lot of time and money on waxing or shaving hair can usually benefit from laser hair removal.
How Does It Work?
We use the Candella Gentle Max, it is the gold standard in laser hair removal. No laser on the market is 100 percent reduction but our laser gets people pretty darn close.
Our clients notice a difference after just one treatment. Most clients need 7-10 treatments total.
Clients will need to shave 1-2 days prior to there treatment. Each area takes roughly 20 mins.
The laser targets the hair in the hair follicle and zap/kills it. Doing this repeatedly reduces hair production.
Depending on the area treatments can range from 4-6 (all other areas) 6-8 weels (back and legs) The laser doesn't work on blonde or gray hair.
We have been performing this procedure five years and we know how to push the limits giving clients the best results possible.
We also have a machine that blows cryo and helps significantly with the pain of the laser. This is a game changer for our clients.
