Laser Hair Removal

FDA approved Lasers are used to remove unwanted hair safely and effectively from all areas of the body. This non-invasive procedure is effective in treating most hair colors and textures. The laser works by emitting a pulsed light that is passed through the skin and absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicle. By absorbing this laser energy, the hair follicles are disabled, impairing their ability to grow. Treatments are usually performed at intervals of 4-6 weeks, resulting in smooth, silky, hair free skin. Treatments are painless and only mild redness lasting a short while is noted. Although there can be no guarantee of permanent hair loss, most patients who have undergone at least 3 treatments will experience up to 2 years of hair loss.
