Laser hair removal is a safe, effective solution that can permanently reduce unwanted body hair. The procedure works by sending wavelengths of light into the skin, heating dozens of hair follicles at once and disrupting them to eliminate them permanently.
Though pain tolerance varies among individuals, this procedure is generally pain-free. Clients who anticipate discomfort should consider taking oral painkillers prior to starting sessions.
No Pain or Irritation
Laser hair removal differs significantly from waxing, shaving or tweezing in that it does not involve pain or irritation for patients undergoing multiple sessions of treatments. Lasers target melanin pigment within each hair follicle to destroy it with thermal energy – ultimately leading to permanent hair reduction after several treatment sessions have taken place.
Laser hair removal can be performed on virtually all areas of the body with unwanted hair, from faces and legs to backs and arms. It’s an ideal solution for men and women alike who have grown tired of shaving to eliminate embarrassing facial or body hair, while its noninvasive nature also makes it great for people with sensitive skin – no downtime required with laser treatment!
Before each laser hair removal session, we conduct a pre-procedure skin evaluation in order to select the appropriate settings and calibrate our equipment correctly. On the day of your treatment, shave beforehand as this helps the laser locate hair follicles without damaging surrounding tissue.
Your treatment will last approximately 15-20 minutes, depending on the size and scope of the area to be treated. During this time, you may experience a brief sensation of heat as the laser pulses into each hair follicle; similar to snapping of rubber bands against skin; some patients find this uncomfortable but most find the discomfort mild and tolerate it well.
After treatment, your skin may appear slightly red or swollen; this usually subsides within several hours. We may suggest applying hydrocortisone cream or aloe vera gel if the area is particularly sensitive; otherwise you should be able to resume normal activities immediately as swelling and redness subside and results begin to show themselves quickly.

No Downtime
Are you frustrated with shaving, waxing, tweezing and covering yourself up because of unwanted body hair? Laser hair removal could be just what’s needed! This safe and effective treatment reduces and prevents facial and body hair growth by permanently erasing any spots where unwanted facial or body hair has surfaced on any part of your skin.
Procedure is quick and has no downtime; therefore you can quickly resume your daily life after each session. Your specialist will begin by cleaning and anesthetizing the targeted area – this ensures your comfort during treatment. While you might feel some mild heat from laser’s heat source during session, most patients find this tolerable; many liken the sensation to that of snapping rubber bands against skin.
Once an anesthetic has taken effect, a specialist will use laser technology to target hair follicles responsible for unwanted hair growth and destroy them with precise laser beams. This procedure is quick, accurate and less painful than electrolysis.
Laser technology has had a revolutionary effect on medical and beauty industries alike. From treating diseases and conditions, to offering patients and aestheticians numerous advantages. Laser hair removal stands out amongst its rivals because it provides permanent results on any part of your body, taking less treatments than other methods, leaving smooth skin behind for good!

Permanent Results
Laser hair removal offers permanent results+ that differ significantly from shaving and waxing. After completing a series of sessions, you could experience months or even years without worrying about hair regrowth – although when it does eventually return it should usually be finer and lighter colored than before.
Shaving, waxing and plucking can be time-consuming activities that leave behind razor bumps, ingrown hairs and other irritations. Laser hair removal provides an alternative that’s safer and more effective at eliminating unwanted hair removal while simultaneously helping reduce enlarged pores and uneven skin texture.
At your appointment, we will apply a topical anesthetic to reduce any discomfort that you might feel from our laser energy delivered by the Cynosure Elite+TM device. Its laser energy can be targeted directly onto the area where unwanted hair needs to be eliminated without risking damage to nearby skin and areas that are sensitive.
Your treatment will use a cooling system to keep you comfortable. We may use soothing gel or hydrocortisone cream after your appointment to minimize redness or swelling that could arise after our session; any signs should subside within days after being treated.
Before your treatment session begins, we ask that you shave the area you would like to treat in order to ensure we treat not just the hair above, but the actual follicle beneath. While you may experience something similar to shark pricks sensations during our treatments, each client usually finds our experience much less painful than waxing or shaving.

Comfortable Treatment
If you’re tired of shaving with shaving cream or razors to remove unwanted hair, laser hair removal offers an effective and comfortable solution with permanent results. This procedure employs highly concentrated beams of light energy which penetrate the skin to target hair follicles and block their ability to produce further hair growth.
Before each laser hair removal session at your facility, a specialist will carefully examine your skin to establish optimal settings tailored specifically to it. They may also apply topical anesthetic for maximum comfort during this process.
Your treatment will begin in a private treatment room where a provider will first cleanse and apply numbing cream to your skin, before relaxing with books, television shows or music while the laser treatment takes place.
Handheld laser devices with cool tips will be used to deliver laser energy for virtually pain-free treatment, with many patients reporting it feeling similar to snapping a rubber band. Pulses of laser energy will continue to be delivered until all unwanted hair in an area has been eliminated, though treatment times vary depending on its size and location.
Laser technology stands apart from other hair removal treatments by targeting and destroying the root of each hair follicle, effectively stopping all forms of hair growth on any part of your body without damaging its surrounding skin or leaving permanent scars behind. Plus, since all that hair was taken from its source it will regrow with reduced numbers.
