Pain Management:
Equipped with a Crystal Freeze cooling system, ensuring consistent skin temperature throughout the procedure for a virtually painless experience.
Long-Lasting Results:
Designed to destroy hair follicles effectively, leading to permanent hair reduction after a series of sessions.
Minimal Downtime: Patients can return to their daily activities immediately after treatment.
Benefits
Long-lasting results: After several sessions, many experience permanent hair reduction.
Precision: Effective for targeting dark, coarse hairs without affecting lighter skin.
Speed: Each laser pulse treats multiple hairs in a fraction of a second.
What to Expect
Multiple Sessions: Hair grows in cycles, so several treatments (typically 6–8) are needed for optimal results.
Skin Sensitivity: Temporary redness, swelling, or mild irritation might occur.
Preparation: Avoid waxing or plucking hair before treatments as the follicle must be intact.
Who It Works Best For
Historically, laser hair removal was most effective for individuals with light skin and dark hair. However, newer laser technologies like ours cater to a wider range of skin tones and hair types.
What is laser hair removal?
Laser hair removal is a cosmetic procedure that uses concentrated light energy to target and destroy hair follicles, inhibiting future hair growth. Here's a breakdown of how it works and what to expect:
How It Works
Targeting Hair Follicles: The laser emits light at a specific wavelength, absorbed by the melanin (pigment) in the hair.
Heat Damage: The absorbed light is converted to heat, damaging the hair follicle and preventing it from producing hair.
Selective Process: The laser targets hair without harming surrounding skin, making it a precise method.
Considerations
Multiple Sessions Required: Since hair grows in cycles, typically 6–8 sessions are needed for optimal results.
Pre-Treatment Care: Shaving the area 24 hours before the procedure is recommended; avoid waxing or plucking.
Post-Treatment Care: Use sunscreen to protect the treated area and avoid tanning for a few weeks.
