Laser Hair Removal Treatment (Diode or GentleYAG® Laser)

Laser therapy removes unwanted hair, putting an end to routine shaving and waxing. Because the laser treats more than one hair at a time, it is possible to rapidly treat larger areas such as the back, shoulders, arms, legs and face. Laser treatments are a safe, fast and effective alternative method for permanent hair reduction. This laser therapy requires a series of treatments to achieve maximal benefits. The type of laser utilized for your treatment and the laser settings used will be chosen to maximize the potential results and minimize the potential risks.

Laser treatment injures or destroys follicles that are in an active phase of their growth cycle at the time of the treatment. The laser energy passes through the surface of the skin and is absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicle. During the procedure, the laser pulses for a fraction of a second, just long enough to heat up the hair and significantly impede the follicle's ability to re-grow. During the active growth phase, the hair has an abundance of melanin pigment, so hair in this active phase are most affected by the treatment.
