FAQ
Q: Does it hurt?
A: Everyone’s pain threshold is different. Some people may say it feels like a slight sting and other people say the sensation is more pronounced. The feeling is only evident at the time we pulse the laser. Once the technician stops pulsing the laser, the sensation stops. For those individuals that experience discomfort, a topical anesthetic can be used. Compared to electrolysis and waxing, most clients should find our process tolerable.
There may be some redness after the treatment, but it is very temporary. This is comparable to very mild sunburn. Aloe Vera lotion or comparable can be used in these cases.
Q: How much does it cost?
A: The treatments start at about a few hundred dollars and go up depending on the body area being treated. Clients can pay for the treatments as they are performed or they can take advantage of specials and package discounts to save money. We also offer financing programs to make affording treatments easier.
Laser Hair Removal
Say “Good-Bye” to razor burn, hot wax, electrolysis, and plucking! Unwanted hair does not have to be an embarrassment any longer.
Laser Hair Removal is Safe, Fast and Effective.
Recent advances in laser hair removal technology have made it possible to permanently reduce unwanted body hair quickly and easily, with proven long-term results.
We are able to treat all skin types using our state-of-the-art laser system, bringing you the convenience, confidence and beauty of hair-free, smooth skin. Almost everyone is a candidate for Laser Hair Removal. You won’t need to apply creams or gels, or wax before the treatment. There are no needles. You will simply shave prior to having a treatment. You won’t need to grow the hair out to have laser treatment.
Areas of unwanted hair are treated with a focused beam of concentrated laser light that is selectively absorbed by the melanin in the hair, as well as in the surrounding hair follicle, while leaving the surrounding skin unaffected and unharmed. To keep skin further protected and increase your comfort, we cool your skin before, during, and after the treatment.
All hair grows in cycles that consist of three stages. The active growth (anagen) phase, “regressive” (catagen), or “resting” (telogen) phase. The laser is most effective at permanently removing the actively growing or anagen hairs during treatment. It is during the anagen stage that the hair shaft has the most melanin, the target of the laser light. Because you will have hair follicles in the resting or regressive stages at any given time, you will usually need 5-6 laser treatments to get the best results. The growth cycle also varies slightly by body area, so depending on which part of the body you would like treated, a customized treatment plan will be devised to help obtain the desired results.
