Laser Hair Reduction

Laser hair removal is the leading method used to remove unwanted hair. Our laser offers great results for various hair colors and skin types.

How does laser hair removal work?

Laser hair removal works as the light wavelength from the laser is absorbed by germinative cells that produce hair in the follicle. The follicle is heated and the germinative cells are destroyed. The duration of each pulse is just long enough to damage the follicle, while the system’s cryo unit helps protect the skin by conductive cooling during the laser energy delivery.

How many laser hair removal treatments will I need and how often?

Each hair follicle passes through three different growth phases. An active (growth) phase, an intermediate (resting) phase where no growth occurs but the hair is still visible, and a resting phase where the hair is released from the follicle. It is necessary to treat the hair in an active growing phase in order to target the germination cells that produce the hair in the follicle. Because not all hair follicles are in a growing phase at the same time, multiple sequential treatments are required for optimal hair reduction. Generally, most patients will require an average of 6 treatments to experience 70% to 90% hair reduction. Treatments are usually scheduled 4-6 weeks apart. It is recommended to do treatments consistently, as this allows us to treat all the hair follicles in a growth cycle at some time during your hair removal treatments.
