LASER HAIR REMOVAL FAQ

During a treatment session, bright flashes of light are emitted onto the unwanted hair. The light penetrates through the skin and selectively targets the melanin in the hair follicles. The pigment absorbs the light energy, effectively destroying the hair.
What Laser Hair Removal machine do we use?

What can you expect with Laser Hair Removal?
Our advanced laser will be adjusted according to the color and thickness of the hair, and location of the area being treated. Our technician and you will be required to wear appropriate eye protection to start the process. When starting, the technician will give a pulse of light to the treatment area and watch the area for a few minutes to make sure the best settings are being used, and to check for any negative reactions. Depending on the area, the session can take up to an hour. When the procedure is completed, you will be given aloe vera to ease any discomfort. Once you are re-dressed and ready, we will direct you to the front office to schedule your next treatment four to six weeks later.
