Laser Hair Removal

What body areas can I get treated?

Any area, except around the eyes. The upper lip, face, neck, underarms, bikini line, legs, chest, and back can all be treated.

What color hair can be removed?

Any variation of black or brown hair can be permanently removed. No treatment currently exists to effectively remove blond, red, gray, or white hair. Dying hair black or brown is ineffective because the dye does not go deep enough to penetrate the hair bulb under the skin. It is at the level of the hair bulb, in the second layer of the skin, where the action of permanent hair removal takes place, sparing the skin surface from harm.

What should I expect after treatment?

Immediately after treatment you might experience mild redness and swelling. This usually lasts only a few hours.

The treated hair will continue to appear 7-30 days post-treatment. This is not new hair growth, but the treated hair being expelled from the skin.

Typically, 4-8 treatments will be required to achieve 80% permanent hair reduction. There is a cumulative effect and it is important to adhere to a consistent schedule of sessions to maximize the benefits. A touch-up treatment might be needed every few years to continue permanent hair removal.
