Laser Hair Removal (New Service)

What is Laser Hair Removal?
If you’re bothered by body hair, you probably have a go-to method of removing it. But if that method seems arduous, you might want to consider laser hair removal. Like waxing and shaving, laser hair removal is a hair reduction method — but the results can be significantly longer-lasting. As a result, laser has become standard for people who are looking for a more permanent hair reduction solution unlike other methods of hair removal, it relies on a concentrated beam of energy (via a laser) to target the hair follicle below the surface of the skin. The energy from the laser is released as intense heat, which damages these follicles. There are different types of lasers, and each has its own advantages and safety profile. It’s important to do your research before choosing a laser. 

Why Laser Hair Removal?
Conventional hair removal, shaving, waxing or depilatories, have been time-consuming and have provided short term results. With the early laser technology, effective hair removal was possible but was expensive and painful. Now, with newer technology, affordable and comfortable laser hair removal is possible. Treatments are safe, simple, and quick, with virtually no side effects and minimal discomfort.
Although laser hair removal has been available for nearly a decade, within the last couple of years the technology has improved dramatically. Laser hair removal can now be done quickly, safely, effectively and comfortably. You may see significant hair reduction of up to 85% to 90% after four treatments. 

• The highest efficacy. Yag has been determined scientifically to be the perfect wavelength (1064nm) to reach the hair follicles and bulbs. 
• Compact unit with ergonomic design 
• This small laser packs a big punch. up to 18mm spot size with up to 30 joules of delivered energy and up to 2 pulses per second. all for faster and safer treatments... 
• Candela’s propriety use of cryogen spray to cool the skin during treatments. all other devices must use a separate bulky cooling device and messy gels. this alone is what made this device as popular as it is... 
• This is the laser that the top laser spa’s and the luminary physicians all endorse.

The Gentle Yag system, a revolutionary long pulse high energy ND: Yag laser, emits a gentle beam of light that passes through the skin to the hair follicle where is is absorbed. The laser energy is transformed into heat, which destroys the hair follicle leaving the surrounding skin unaffected. The skin is further protected during the treatment by a dynamic cooling device (DCD) where cryogen is sprayed onto the skin cooling the upper layers and providing patients with increased comfort during the treatment.

Post-treatment Care

1. Avoid bathing or washing with very hot water, Use tepid water. Wash gently. Keep the area clean.
2. Do not shave the treated area for at least 4 days after treatment.
3. Avoid any irritating medications or chemicals. Examples of these are Retin-A, Benzoyl peroxide, glycolic acid or astringents.
4. Avoid direct sun exposure for at least 3 weeks after treatment. Protect the area with a sunscreen of higher than 30 SPF or else the skin may develop hyper-pigmentation/hypo-pigmentation marks.
5. The treated area may become pink, red, inflamed, or even blistered within 30 minutes and in rare instances last several hours to several days. Regular application of ice, cooling gels, Hydrocortisone or Neosporin is important for relief.
6. Do not wax, pluck, thread or use depilatories for the hair that grows back.
7. After laser treatment, hair may continue to grow out as if it were never treated. Typically this will occur for about 2-3 weeks and then those treated hair will simply begin to fall out.
8. Generally it is best to wait 4-6 weeks between treatments. There is no advantage to scheduling your visits closer together even if you do not see immediate results. The laser only targets hair in the growth phase. The next growth phase is generally in 4-6 weeks.​​
