LASER HAIR REMOVAL

HOW IT WORKS

Our laser system emits a gentle beam of light that passes through the skin, to the hair follicle, where it is absorbed. The energy radiated from the laser is converted into heat, which paralyzes the follicle while leaving the surrounding skin untouched and unharmed. A cooling process also pre-treats the skin protecting it from the heat generated by the laser. The upper layer of the skin is cooled by cryogen as it is applied onto the skin prior to each laser pulse. Because of the cooling device, there is little discomfort felt by patients at the treatment site, but the degree of discomfort varies from person to person depending on his/her threshold. Every patient will require two to three treatments as the process is only effective during the growing cycle. Additional visits will be necessary to catch follicles as they reenter the growth cycle.
