Laser Hair Removal

How it works.

Laser hair removal works by sending a beam of laser light to a group of hair follicles with enough power to disable or destroy the root, but not enough power to harm the surrounding skin.  This process is called selective photothermolysis.  It is selective because it targets only the hair and not the skin.  Photo means light and thermolysis means destroying with heat. The surrounding skin is usually cooled.  Some methods include a gel, a spray, or a cooling tip.

Hair Removal by Laser is NOT ELECTROLYSIS.  Electrolysis is a method of removing individual hairs one-at-a-time by directing an electric current into each hair follicle.  This is the high tech/modern day method of destroying massive amounts of hair follicles with a simple trigger pull.

Laser only destroys hair in its active growth phase, the anagen phase.  This phase lasts several years, and up to 85% of our hair is in that phase at any given time.  The good thing is that during this phase, the hair has an abundance of melanin and the hair follicle is easily targeted.

This procedure requires an average of 5 laser treatments depending on the person's skin type and response to the treatments. We offer laser hair removal individually or in a package of 5. Any unused portion of a package may be applied towards another treatment or service.

Pre/post treatment instructions.

 Pretreatment
  1. Stop waxing, tweezing, and bleaching prior to treatment for a few weeks. Continue to shave.
  2. Do not laser if you have sunburn, a suntan is okay.
  3. Shave before treatment but a shadow or stubble is desirable.

Posttreatment

  1. After the treatment, you may have redness or bumps.  This is normal.  You may use a cold compress if needed.
  2. Makeup may be used.  Moisturizer is good to use.
  3. Use sun block of SPF 25 or more for a couple of weeks after your treatment.
  4. The only other acceptable hair removal method during your treatment regimen is shaving if needed. 
  5. Hair will shed up to three weeks after treatment.  It may seem like new hair growth, but it is just the hair coming out.  You can help the hairs out by using a loofah or washcloth.

The results.
