Some Questions And Answers

What is Laser Hair Removal System? Laser Hair Removal System is a non-invasive light therapy device specifically designed to eliminate undesired hair from all parts of the body.

How does Laser remove hair? Laser uses pulsed light to remove hair and impair hair regrowth. First, a cool gel and a hand-held treatment unit are gently applied to the skin. Then, in a flash, pulses of light safely penetrate the skin and disable hundreds of hair follicles simultaneously. When the gel is removed, much of the hair is wiped off with it. The remaining hair in the treated area falls out within a week or two.

Can all hair colors and parts of the body be treated? The system's unique design offers you customized treatment, according to your hair color, texture, and location on the body. Laser can remove almost all hair colors from all parts of the body including the chin, upper lip, cheeks, legs, arms, underarms, and back-as well as sensitive areas like the ears, nose, chest, and bikini line.

What is Laser treatment like? When Laser's pulse of light is delivered to the hair, you may feel a mild sting or pinch similar to the snap of a rubber band. No local anesthesia or pain medication is required, although we do have a topical anesthetic available for those who wish.

How many treatments are required? This varies depending upon your hair color and location on the body. Several treatments may be needed, with each session usually lasting 10-30 minutes, depending on the size of the area to be treated.

Are there any side effects? You may experience some short-term side effects. This may include slight reddening of the skin or local swelling which goes away within a few days. In rare instances there may be some blistering.

Are there any restrictions on my activity after treatment? You can return to work the same day and resume all regular activities. You should limit sun exposure, which is always a good idea.

Who are candidates for treatment? Most people may be treated with Laser Hair Removal System, however, check with your doctor. How does Laser compare with commonly used hair removal methods? Shaving, waxing, and depilatory creams are all temporary methods that must be repeated on a regular basis. Hair removal with Laser offers a faster and easier alternative to existing hair removal methods.

How does Laser treatment compare with electrolysis? Electrolysis is a tedious, invasive, and painful process that involves inserting a needle into each hair follicle and delivering an electrical charge to destroy them one at a time. Electrolysis often requires years of treatments at regular intervals. Laser non-invasively treats hundreds of hair follicles simultaneously. So, in a few minutes, Laser can effectively treat an area that would take over an hour with electrolysis.

How is Laser different from lasers?

Laser's innovative patented technology allows your doctor to customize treatment specifically for your hair color, texture, and body location. This flexible approach to treatment cannot be achieved with any laser or non-invasive method currently available. Also the majority of lasers are limited to the patients with light skin, due to the possibility of pigmentation problems. With the Laser system we can effectively treat very light skin individuals to even dark skinned individuals, including asian, hispanic, indian and even African Americans.

In July 1997, the FDA gave its approval for the general medical use of this intense laser-like light device for the removal of hair. Thus making all lasers technically obsolete due to their limited wavelength capability.
