Laser hair removal provides a permanent solution to unwanted facial and body hair by sending beams of heat energy directly onto targeted follicles without harming surrounding skin. Treatment sessions typically occur over multiple sessions for optimal results.
IPL treatments use intense pulsed light (IPL) technology to target hair follicles that produce new hair growth, effectively stopping unwanted growth. Each IPL regimen is customized based on each patient’s skin color, pigmentation and density of hair growth.
Free Consultation
At your complimentary consultation with the laser nurse, they will assess your skin type and hair characteristics to determine which laser treatment option will be most suitable. They will also educate you on the procedure and provide a cost estimate without committing you further.
Botox(r), Kybella(r) and Dermal Filler appointments require a non-refundable deposit; however, you may reschedule up to 48 hours (2 days) before losing this money. Deposit amounts vary by service.
Laser hair removal works to diminish unwanted hair growth by emitting light energy that absorbs pigment (melanin) in your hair and converts into heat energy that damages tube-shaped sacs within your skin (hair follicles) and delays future hair growth.
Motus AX/AY
Deka Laser’s Motus AX/AY is an innovative breakthrough device, eliminating trade-offs present in other hair removal methods. NdYAG lasers, for instance, can be used on all skin types but are less effective; other technologies may provide stronger results but be difficult to tolerate; the Motus AX/AY features its proprietary Moveo technology to address these concerns while keeping all of the advantages associated with traditional Alexandrite 755nm hair removal intact.
Moveo is a technological breakthrough that allows Motus laser hair removal devices to effectively treat all skin types, even very dark skin. Traditional lasers use quick bursts of energy that target hair follicle pigment in quick bursts that target melanin levels present; however, darker skin tones do not produce enough melanin to absorb this energy transference from traditional lasers. Darker skin types do not produce enough melanin to absorb energy transference through traditional lasers; the Motus AX/AY’s Moveo handpiece was specifically designed to absorb all energy transference, meaning it delivers results equivalent to traditional laser devices even on very dark skin types.
Treatment itself is safe and comfortable for all skin types thanks to a revolutionary contact cooling system integrated into its sapphire tip. This feature prevents painful rubber band snapping sensations associated with laser treatments and makes the Motus AX/AY one of the most comfortable laser hair removal devices on the market. In addition, gradual thermal heating enables multiple sessions without discomfort for patients.
Motus AX/AY treatments are relatively quick, with small areas being completed within five minutes. Not only can it remove unwanted hair from all types of skin types but it can also help reduce dark spots and fade freckles for other cosmetic enhancements.
Motus AX/AY patients can best prepare themselves for laser treatment by forgoing plucking and waxing in the month leading up to their appointment. Shaving can still help preserve hair follicles for laser therapy – we suggest shaving at least a day or two beforehand in order to maximize results from treatment.
Safety
Laser hair removal can effectively diminish unwanted hair growth in areas like your legs, arms, back, underarms and bikini line. A laser emits light that absorbs pigment (melanin) in your hair strands; this absorbed melanin then converts to heat that destroys tube-shaped sacs (hair follicles) that produce hairs thus stopping further growth of new ones.
Neelam Vashi, MD, an associate professor of dermatology at Boston University School of Medicine notes that other hair removal methods like shaving, waxing and electrolysis may irritate or inflame your skin, leading to itching and redness. Furthermore, these procedures involve some form of trauma which could potentially leave scars behind or other evidence of damage on the skin.
Electrolysis uses electrical currents to destroy and prevent hair follicles from producing hair growth, and it may take multiple sessions before permanent results are seen. For best results, however, electrolysis should only be administered by board-certified dermatologists or electrologists so as to avoid infections, skin disorders, blood disorders and burns; home kits may not be properly sterilized leading to infections as per AAD recommendations and may not work as effectively on light-colored hair as these devices don’t produce results as fast.
Results
As opposed to shaving, waxing, or other methods for hair removal, laser treatments provide long-term solutions to unwanted facial and body hair. Laser treatments target melanin pigment in hair which converts it to heat energy which damages hair follicles to prevent further hair growth.
Our state-of-the-art laser equipment offers a variety of laser hair removal treatment options. We can accommodate all skin tones and types of hair. At your free consultation with one of our laser nurse, she will determine which laser treatment would be most beneficial to meet your individual needs.
If you have light hair and dark skin, we can use the GentleLASE laser to treat you. This device uses high energy alexandrite lasers to safely destroy hair follicles and stop any future growth, while its dynamic cooling device offers added comfort. Depending on your skin color and hair type, multiple laser hair removal treatments may be required before reaching desired results – for best results we suggest staying out of direct sunlight after treatments while using SPF 30 sunscreen to maximize protection during post-treatment periods.
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) laser treatments offer another permanent hair reduction solution, using short bursts of light energy in short bursts to eliminate unwanted hair and pigmented lesions on both face and body. Ideal for treating discolorations caused by rosacea, age spots, freckles, sun damage and port wine stains as well as scars stretch marks and warts
At IPL procedures, we utilize a cool gel to protect the skin before sending pulses of light through a crystal hand piece into targeted areas. While some patients experience slight warmth from these pulses, many find them tolerable.
Intense pulsed light treatments are safe when administered by trained professionals under the direction of a dermatologist. Though intense pulsed light treatments may temporarily cause redness or swelling, these side effects usually subside within hours.
