Hair Removal
How does it work?
The laser safely and gently heats the targeted area. Pulses of energy gradually heat the follicles in the skin's sub dermal layer. This means the laser light safely and gently passes through the skin and destroys active growing hair follicles.
While pain tolerance is subjective, many patients describe it as soothing and warm. Most conventional laser hair removal technologies utilize massive amounts of heat to destroy hair follicles and ensure permanent reduction. Our laser instead delivers low heat levels at a fast delivery, which decreases the pain and minimizes the risk of side effects. Best of all, the high speed of delivery creates a short treatment; 5 to 15 minutes on a small body part and 20 to 30 minutes on the average man's back.
All skin and hair (except very fair-coloured hair) types can be treated. As the laser only targets actively growing hair follicles, a treatment plan of 5-7 sessions is recommended, after which occasional maintenance treatments may be required. Prior to and in between treatments you can shave your hair but not remove the hair from the follicle (i.e. waxing or plucking.)
