FAQ’s about Laser Hair Removal:
How Much does it cost?
It depends on area treated and thickness of hair.
Come in for consultation.
How Do Laser s Remove Unwanted Hair?
Lasers emit a focused light beam that passes through the skin and is preferentially absorbed by the melanin (pigment) in undesirable hair. This process heats the hair follicle destroying the hair at its root leaving your skin looking silkier and smoother. Laser Hair removal eliminates the need for shaving and waxing.
What Areas Can Be Treated With Laser Hair Removal?
Hair may be safely removed from face, underarms, bikini line, arms, legs and back with minimal discomfort.
What Can I Expect With The Procedure?
Most describe the sensation similar to that of gently snapping rubber band. For sensitive patients, we sometimes apply a topical anesthetic cream to numb the treated area. In some cases, there may be a slight reddening or swelling of the skin that quickly resolves. After treatment, you may immediately return to normal activities
Is The Procedure Permanent?
Laser hair removal results in varying degrees of permanent hair reduction. Some patients require periodic “touch-up” treatments.
How Many Treatments Do I Need?
Because hair grows in cycles, only a portion of your hair is above the skin’s surface and is able to be targeted by the laser during each treatment. Typically four to six treatments are required per area which are spaced from four to eight weeks apart.
Are There Any Risks?
Laser hair removal is quick, safe and effective and complications are rare.
Previously, removing hair with lighter colors was impossible with most lasers. Now one super laser removes almost all hair regardless of color.

High Speed LightSheer – Reduces Treatment Times up to 75% & Significantly Improves Comfort
The NEW High Speed LightSheer with its dramatically increased spot size of 22mm x 35mm combined with innovative vacuum-assist technology offers you an exciting treatment option for hair removal. This is great news for both men and women, since backs and legs can now be treated comfortably in about 15-20 minutes, with no need for topical anesthetics or messy treatment gel.
The High Speed LightSheer produces a larger beam of highly concentrated light. The light emitted is well absorbed by the pigment located in the hair follicles (melanin). During the hair removal procedure, the laser pulses for a fraction of a second, allowing the hair to absorb the light and heat up. As the hair follicle heats up, the hair shaft and bulb are damaged. This significantly reduces the hair’s ability to re-grow, and results in permanent hair reduction over time.
