Specialized hand pieces emit pulses of light into the hair follicles. The light is absorbed by pigment in the follicles and converted to heat. The heat then loosens the hair and disables the cells responsible for growing new hair.
Any area except around the eyes.
We ask that the area to be treated be shaved the night before treatment. No waxing or plucking for 4 weeks prior to treatment. No tanning or sun exposure for at least 2 weeks prior to treatment.
You can expect a mild sunburn like sensation or minor swelling. The treated hair will continue to appear for sometime after treatment until it is expelled from the skin.
At any given time some of your hair is not in a phase of active growth; therefore, you will need a series of treatments. Typically patients require 3 or more treatments to achieve permanent hair reduction.
