Laser Hair Removal
We use a laser called the Gentlelase laser for hair removal. It protects the skin, while effectively treating unwanted hair. Benefits include minimal discomfort, no more waxing/shaving, no down time, and smoother skin. It does require several treatments *usually between 6-8*. Patients with dark hair will see faster results.
Before your treatment:
No hair removal for one month in advance: The laser targets actively growing hair, so waxing, plucking and chemical depilatories should be avoided for six weeks prior to your appointment. Methods of hair removal that damage the follice, such as electrolysis or intense pulsed light, should also be avoided for six weeks in advance.
Shave the area 24-48 hours in advance: Excess hair above the surface of the skin absorbs and blocks laser energy, so the areas to be treated must be clipped or shaved. We recommend shaving 24-48 hours in advance because freshly shaved skin is more sensitive, and it is best to have a slight regrowth of hair so the clinician can see the hair pattern. Shaving also allows you to shape the exact area you want treated.
Do not apply makeup: You will be asked to not apply makeup to the areas to be treated, because some makeup can absorb laser energy and reduce its effectiveness. Makeup may be re-applied immediately after treatment if you wish.
Cost
A consultation is not required for this treatment. Please call for treatment cost and scheduling. We have laser hair removal once a month, so call because the schedule fills up fast! For a limited time, we are offering a 50% discount off the second area (of equal or lesser value). See you soon!
