Using the latest technology, we are now able to nearly completely remove unwanted hair.

Until now, the only options for removing unwanted hair were shaving, waxing, hair-removal creams, tweezing or electrolysis, and these are all temporary and painful. Hair removal can eliminate unwanted hair after only four to six treatments in the average case.

This technology can treat large areas of the body in a short amount of time, which totally beats out the tedious and sometimes painful process of electrolysis.

It is an outpatient procedure with no downtime.  However, several treatments are needed because hair grows in three distinct cycles.

1. First, the active or growth cycle (anagen); next

2. The dormant cycle (catagen) and, finally,

3. The fall-out or shedding cycle (telogen).

Hair removal is most effective during the anagen or growth cycle. Your hair is at different stages all the time, so the procedure must be repeated to “capture” hair when it is in the growth phase.

The pigment in the hair follicle absorbs the light and converts the light to heat. The heat, in turn, damages the follicle and destroys its ability to re-grow. With our advanced technology, your skin is compressed and cooled. So you can see that in the right hands and with the right tools, the procedure can be very effective.

It’s important to remember that not all technology and not all practitioners are the same.  If you routinely need to remove hair the “old fashioned method” it is time to investigate permanent hair removal.  This may be the answer you have been looking for.
