Permanent Hair Reduction
Laser hair reduction is the latest advancement in laser technology and is an option that can be more permanent and less painful than other methods you find in local salons or over-the-counter. The laser energy targets the pigment in the hair and follicle, in turn, destroying the follicle to prevent hair growth in the future.
Most people are eligible for laser hair removal treatment with the most popular areas in women being the face, chin, arms, upper lip, legs and bikini areas. Men generally seek treatment for the back, chest, neck and areas where facial hair grows.
During treatment, you will be asked to wear protective eyewear due to the laser light. The laser is passed over the chosen area and emits bursts of light energy. Many of our patients have described the feeling as a snapping of a rubber band, but the discomfort was very minimal.
There is virtually no recovery time, and you may return to your activities as normal following treatment. You may, however, notice some slight swelling around the treated area, but this will disappear soon after treatment.
We will be able to determine how many treatments are needed to achieve your desired results. Most patients require four to six treatments, performed at six-week intervals, to reach their satisfaction level.
