Laser Hair Reduction
Laser Hair Reduction
Experience the most advanced laser for permanent hair reduction. The LightSheerT Diode Laser is a state-of-the-art system specially designed to remove unwanted hair quickly, safely, and reliably. Laser treatment for unwanted hair is a non-invasive approach to permanent hair reduction. Treatment is specifically designed to eliminate undesired hair from all parts of the body. Unlike many other treatment methods, Laser Hair Reduction leaves your skin looking and feeling smoother and softer! What is treatment like? Preliminary setup requires cleansing and shaving of the area to be treated. The laser produces a beam of highly concentrated light. Without damaging the surrounding tissue, controlled pulses of light penetrate the skin and are absorbed by the hair follicles. The heat discourages and ultimately destroys the potential for regrowth. Post-treatment procedures include cleansing of the treated area and application of sunblock. Large areas such as backs, shoulders, abdomens, and legs can be treated. Facial areas such as the lip, chin, and beard can be treated in minutes. How many treatments are required? Because the laser affects hair follicles only when they are in the growth phase, more than one treatment will be necessary to disable hair follicles that subsequently enter the growth phase. During your consultation, you will be advised as to the approximate number of treatments you will need. Who are candidates for treatment? Millions of men and women have been successfully treated. Treatments are customized according to hair color, texture and location on the body. Dark, course hair respond best to treatment. Is treatment painful? This procedure is tolerated well by most patients, as the laser functions so quickly that only a mild sting is felt. Local anesthesia or pain medication is not required, but topical anesthetic is an option for more sensitive areas. Are there any possible side effects? Side effects are rare. Sensitivity, irritation, or redness sometimes occurs at the treatment site, but disappears quickly or within a few days. You must limit your sun exposure during treatment. This will greatly minimize the risk of side effects. Prior to scheduling a medical spa treatment, each patient will have a skin care consultation with one of our cosmetic specialists. The consultation will allow for a comprehensive evaluation of your skin care needs and development of a regimen that is perfectly tailored for you. There is a $50 consultation fee which will be credited toward your scheduled treatment. Cost of treatment is available upon request. |
