What are my options for hair removal?
Diode lasers eliminate unwanted hair by emitting a beam of light onto the skin. Passing harmlessly through the skin, the light targets the pigment (melanin) within the hair follicle and hair shaft. As the follicles absorb this laser energy, they are disabled and unable to produce new hair. The result: lasting hair reduction with no downtime. Immediately after treatments, the area may appear and feel mildly sunburned. This reaction usually subsides within a day or so.
Who is this treatment for?
Hair removal is for women who wish to rid themselves of unwanted hair on the below areas and more.
- Chin and upper lip
- Bikini line
- Underarms
- Legs
What you should know
Women of all skin colors and most hair colors have been successfully treated. For best results, laser hair removal treatments are customized according to skin color, hair texture, and body area. All hair follicles go through periods of dormancy and growth.
As laser light only affects hair follicles that are actively producing hair at the time of treatment, resting follicles must enter the growth phase before they can be treated. For this reason, treatment must be repeated until all hair follicles have passed through the growing phase.
While lasers are able to cover relatively large areas at high speed, the exact treatment time is determined by the size of the area being treated. The upper lip and underarm take only a few minutes, while the leg may require up to an hour.
