Laser treatments

Why Laser Hair Reduction
The ways of removing hair – shaving, tweezing, creams and waxing – are time consuming and do not last. And, although electrolysis can permanently remove hair, it is an extremely slow and painful method.

But you don’t have to settle for out of date solutions. Now you can obtain long-lasting results with laser hair reduction treatments.
Permanent hair reduction is a safe and effective way to reduce unwanted body and facial hair.

Is Laser Hair Reduction Safe?
The lasers we use are for permanent hair reduction on all skin types, including very fair skin and olive or African-American skin. Treatments are most effective on medium to dark hair on any skin types. Fine and light hair is very difficult to treat. Blonde, red, white and grey hairs cannot be treated.

What Can I Expect During Treatment?
Your physician might apply a topical anaesthetic to help make the treatment more comfortable. Most patients feel a warm sting as the laser penetrates the hair follicle. Many people describe the sensation as the snap of a rubber band against their skin. To minimize the discomfort, a cool gel is applied to the skin before treatment. The laser system is equipped with a cooled sapphire window to further cool the surface of the skin while allowing laser light to heat the hair follicle beneath the skin.

How Many Treatments Are Needed?
Laser treatments impair the growth capacity of the hair follicles when they are in the active growth stage. Not all follicles are active at the same time and several treatments, every few weeks, may be necessary to obtain the desired result.
The number of treatments needed to achieve hair reduction varies. Most patients experience a marked reduction in hair growth in 5-8 treatments.
Additionally, other factors such as hair density, age and hormones can affect the results of your treatment.
