APPOINTMENTS

Almost everyone has unwanted hair somewhere on their body. Our laser technology surpasses the dated hair removal processes of waxes and creams and offers permanent hair reduction. The safest, most commfortable, and skin-friendly therapeutic laser hair removal treatments require precise, even heating of hair follicles coupled with cooling to protect the skin.


The laser energy is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair and transmitted down the hair shaft, disrupting the hair root growth mechanism. Laser treatment impairs the growth of hair follicles when they are in the growth (or anagen) cycle at the time of treatment. Unfortunately, not all hair follicles are at this stage at the same time. Therefore, for effective permanent hair removal, most people require approximately five to seven treatments to achieve the desired results.

PRE CARE

No sunbathing for 3-4 weeks prior to treatment.

Do not pluck, bleach or use depilatory creams prior to treatment. However, please shave the area to be treated one day prior to appointment. If having bikini-line treated, please shave preferred area to be treated.

Please arrive one hour prior to appointment if you are having anesthetic cream.

POST CARE

You may experience mild sunburn like sensation to the treated area that will subside within 24 hours. The use of a cool compress can aid in alleviating any discomfort.

Avoid hot showers, swimming pool or spa baths for 3 days following your treatment to avoid any irritation to the area.

Avoid exercise such as jogging for 24 hours following your treatment as perspiration may irritate the area.

Some redness, minor swelling or in rare cases blistering, may persist for 3-4 days after treatment. This usually resolves without intervention but you must be careful not irritate the area in any way.

It is preferable that you DO NOT SUNBAKE throughout the course of your treatments, as this makes your skin more susceptible to irritation or burn. Ensure you use a high protection sunscreen and reapply regularly.

Do not wax, tweeze or use electrolysis throughout the course of your treatments. It is important for the hair to be at the skin surface for the treatment to be effective.

Ejection is the process whereby treated, intact hair shafts are moved out and released from the base of the follicle. These hairs are not growing but simply clearing out in the first 10 to 14 days.

The timing between visits should be 5-8 weeks depending upon body area so that the largest number of hairs are in growth phase, thereby ensuring a more effective treatment. Please ensure that maximum regrowth has occurred before proceeding with your next treatment.

Not every patient responds in exactly the same way, but these guidelines apply to most. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us by phone or Email.
