Laser Hair Removal

 

Free yourself from unwanted facial and body hair

Unwanted facial and body hair can be problematic for men and women of all ages. Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) hair removal give you a fast and easy solution for permanent hair reduction so you can look and feel your best.

Laser hair removal reduces the need for shaving, which can leave your skin irritated and often results in unsightly stubble. It's an advanced solution that frees you from razors, waxing and creams to get rid of the hair on your face and body-and it gives you the convenience of ready-to-bare skin every day.

The secret lies in the clinically-proven technology that targets and destroys cells responsible for hair growth without harming surrounding skin. It's a simple approach to permanent hair reduction that's fast, easy and FDA cleared. Best of all, treatment sessions can take just minutes.

Light-based hair removal can work for almost everyone, for all skin colors and most hair types. For men, laser hair removal is great for permanently reducing chest and back hair for the cleaner, younger look you desire. For women, it's a great alternative to creams and waxing for reducing hair on the face and body-including delicate areas around the lips and the bikini line.

Benefits of laser hair removal:

  • Permanent reduction of facial and body hair

  • Fast, easy treatments with little to no downtime

What to Expect

Your first step to a successful treatment outcome is a pre-treatment consultation. A consultation will provide you with the information you need to make the treatment choices for your needs. It also provides your clinician with the information needed to determine the best course of laser treatment for your desired outcomes.

During your consultation, be prepared to provide information about your medical history and your goals for the procedure. This is also a good time to get answers to your treatment questions and to discuss treatment costs.

During your procedure

Before your treatment, your laser technician will determine the melanin in your skin to adjust laser power to your specific needs. This can be done by a visual exam using the Fitzpatrick Skin Type evaluation. Assessing the condition of your skin is essential to avoid over-treatment or under-treatment-and helps ensure the best aesthetic outcomes.

Your technician will work with you to help ensure your comfort and safety throughout the procedure. During treatment, your technician will move a handpiece over your skin, which will pulse as it emits the laser light. A flashing light, an audible tone, and a mild sensation on the skin will tell you when the hand piece is being pulsed.

After your procedure

Your clinician will provide you with specific follow-up care instructions. Below are some general guidelines for what you can expect as you heal.

After your treatment, expect to be able to resume your normal daily activities. You will notice redness at the treatment site, which should resolve in a day or two. You can manage any discomfort that you have with wrapped ice packs or gel packs (do not apply ice directly to skin).

You may bathe and shower as usual, but keep in mind that the treated area may be temperature sensitive.

Until redness has resolved, avoid the following:

  • Sun exposure and tanning on the treated area. Apply an SPF 45 or greater sunscreen to prevent injury to the treatment area and to prevent changes in pigmentation.

  • Applying cosmetics to the treated area.

  • Swimming, especially in pools with chemicals such as chlorine.

  • Hot tubs, Jacuzzis, and saunas.

  • Activities that cause excess perspiration or any activity that may raise your core body temperature.

  • Aggressive scrubbing and use of exfoliates on the treated area.

 

Healthy skin is a reflection of overall wellness.
