Laser Hair Removal
-
Many types of lasers are used for long-term hair removal. Our Laser has a unique advantage of being able to treat skin of all colors, even tanned skin. PhotoAcoustic energy removes hair by targeting the hair follicle, disrupting its growth. Hair falls out gradually after treatment. Because each hair follicle grows at different stages, it’s necessary to repeat hair removal treatments over three to six sessions, spaced four to six weeks apart, in order to capture all hairs at the ideal stage. After the recommended series of hair removal treatments, you will be virtually hair-free – any hair that does grow back will be lighter and finer.

Our laser is appropriate for all types of hair removal including legs, underarms, and bikini line and, for men, backs and shoulders. These lasers are also very effective at treating fine dark hairs around the jaw line or above the lip – called vellus hair. Because these facial hairs are very fine, other lasers have difficulty targeting the follicle. The unique technology behind PhotoAcoustic energy easily reaches vellus hair, providing a safe solution for prolonged hair reduction.
Does laser hair removal hurt?
One of the main benefits of laser hair removal with this laser is that it offers a very comfortable treatment. The sensation can be described as a tingling, kind of like static electricity. Anesthesia is generally not necessary.
Will the hair grow back?
Eventually some hair will grow back. There is no hair removal laser that will PERMANENTLY remove 100% of unwanted hair. You should think of the laser as a hair management technique. Many of our clients come in two or three times a year for touch ups after the desired reduction is reached.
What can I expect after treatment?
The hair usually turns white during treatment. This hair will "fall out" naturally a few days later. You may manually remove the hair with a razor or loofah scrub. Your skin may be red immediately after treatment and you may experience some itching for 12 hours. You can immediately return to your normal activities.
