How does a laser or light-based system remove hair?

The system emits a gentle beam of light that passes through the skin, to the hair follicle, where it is absorbed.  Upon absorption, the energy is transformed into heat, which can disable the follicle, while leaving the surrounding tissue unharmed.

How do I know if I'm a good candidate for laser or light-based hair removal?

Generally speaking, if you are concerned about unwanted hair, you are probably a candidate for hair removal.  Laser or light-based systems are a faster, easier alternative for hair removal.

Is the treatment painful?

Not anymore!! We exclusively provide pain free laser hair removal. It's easy and just as effective as other more uncomfortable methods of laser hair removal.

How long does it take?

With this procedure numerous hairs are removed at the same time.  The amount of time needed depends on the size of the area to be treated. The lip usually takes less than one minute; other areas, such as the leg, may take significantly longer.

How many treatments will be necessary?

Hair grows in cycles.  The laser or pulsed light only affects hair when it is in its early growth phase. In fact, the system will disable follicles that are actively producing hair at the time of treatment.  At any time, some hair follicles are dormant. Repeated sessions will be necessary to treat these follicles when they re-enter the growth phase.
