| How
does laser hair removal work? |
The laser works by emitting a
beam of light that passes through the skin to the root of the hair
follicle, where it is absorbed.
The laser energy
is then transformed into heat, which disables the hair follicle.
As a result, the
hair growth is significantly impeded, or permanently eliminated.
Specialized cooling
is used to gently freeze the skin, allowing skin protection, while
removing the unwanted hair. |
|
Which areas
can be treated? |
Nearly any area with unwanted hair can
be treated. Large and small areas such as the legs, back,
chest, arms, bikini areas, underarms and facial hair. |
|
Who is a candidate for laser hair removal? |
Since
light energy is absorbed by the pigment melanin, individuals with
light skin and dark hair follicles are ideal. Black
skinned individuals are not good candidates for laser hair removal.
However, our laser can safely treat many darker skin individuals
due to its advanced technology. |
| What
precautions do I need to take? |
You
need to avoid natural and artificial sun exposure for 4-6 weeks
before and after your treatment. Unprotected sun exposure
may result in damage to your skin. If in the sun, a sunscreen
of SPF 25 or higher is recommended. Unlike other hair removal
methods that require some degree of growth prior to treatment, all
you need to do is shave before coming in for your appointment.
You must avoid tweezing, waxing,and electrolysis 4-6 weeks prior
for best results. If you have a history of herpes (sores e.g.)
involving the area to be treated, prophylactic anti viral therapy
may be taken prior to treatment. |
|
Is the treatment painful? |
The
degree of discomfort will vary with each person. Our advanced
laser uses TKS® and a special cooling system to maximize safety,
effectiveness and minimize discomfort. If at all concerned
about sensitivity, please ask about topical anesthetic creams
called Emla which is a prescription, or Ela-Max which is non-prescription,
prior to treatment.
|
| How
many treatments will I need to achieve satisfactory hair removal? |
Most clients will require 6 treatments.
This is due to the various stages in which hair grows.
More or less treatments
may be needed depending upon your skin, hair color and coarseness
of hair. |
