Laser hair removal is one of the fastest growing procedures in the country. The treatments are quicker and easier than waxing, more effective on large areas than electrolysis, and safer on skin than a dull razer in the dark at 6am!

 

We have tried many lasers and have found the Candela GentleLASE & GentleYAG laser gives the most consistent and lasting results. It provides a comfortable treatment because of a patented cryogen skin cooling device, resulting in a light that treats with a puff of cold air.

The GentleLASE laser uses a specific frequency that seeks out pigment cells. Dark hair contains large amounts of this pigment and attracts the light energy of the laser. The laser energy travels down the hair follicle and destroys or damages the root and cells that nourish a hair under the skin's surface.

Pigment Seeking Light

  • All Lasers cannot detect hair without pigment such as blonde, white or grey, and cannot treat this type of hair.

  • If a person does not have much contrast between the pigment in the skin and in the hair, (ex. Hair is too light or skin is too dark) the treatment may not be effective for destroying hair without damaging skin. This person would not be a good candidate for treatment.

  • Clients must refrain from sun or tanning booth exposure in the areas to be treated for eight weeks because tan skin has activated pigment cells and can absorb the light causing unwanted side effects.

     

Pre-Treatment and Post-Treatment Instructions
