Laser Hair Removal - Began 10 years ago - powerful laser treatment is more effective for hair removal.  How laser hair removal works has to do with the laser being attracted to the melanin. The heat collected there damages the hair follicle permanently.  Multiple treatments are needed because hair grows in different cycles.  This means not all the hair follicles are in active growth phase at the time of treatment. Laser hair removal is a process that generally takes 6 to 8 sessions performed 6 to 8 weeks apart depending on the area treated. FAQ’s: What are the risks of hair removal? - This a low risk procedure and sometimes called a lunch time procedure. There is no down time. Typically, mild redness in the area treated occurs which resolved within an hour or two. Is the laser painful? – Everyone has different levels of pain tolerance. For most people, waxing is more painful than laser.  Certain areas such were hair is very coarse, are more uncomfortable.  Topical anesthetics will be applyed. How old do you have to be for laser hair removal? - There really is no age limit but because young people will develop new hair as they grow it may be a good idea to wait until after puberty.  Can I wax or bleach in between treatments?  - No.  Only shaving is allowed between treatments.  The area to be treated should be shaved a day or two prior to treatment, not the same day.  Can I get laser hair removal if I have dark skin?   Yes.  The type of laser we use is safe for darker skin tones.  Can I get laser hair removal if I have blond hair?  No.  The laser is absorbed by the dark pigment in the hair follicle.  Blond, red or gray hair will not absorb sufficiently therefore treatments will not be effective.
