Laser Hair Removal using Laserscope Technology - a safe and effective way
to reduce unwanted body and facial hair

The old fashioned ways of removing hair – shaving, tweezing, creams and waxing – are time consuming and don’t last. And, although electrolysis can permanently remove hair, it is an extremely slow and painful method. But you don’t have to settle for out-of-date solutions. Now you can obtain long-lasting results with laser hair removal treatments. Permanent hair reduction is a safe and effective way to reduce unwanted body and facial hair.

Is Laser Hair Removal Safe?

Laserscope technology is FDA cleared for permanent hair reduction on all skin types, including very fair skin and olive or African-American skin. Treatments are most effective on medium to dark hair on any skin type. Fine and light hair is very difficult to treat. Blonde, red, white and gray hair cannot be treated.

What can I expect during treatment?

Your physician might apply a topical anesthetic to help make the treatment more comfortable. Most patients feel a warm sting as the laser penetrates the hair follicle. Many people describe the sensation as the snap of a rubber band against their skin. To minimize the discomfort, a cool gel is applied to the skin before treatment. The Laserscope systems are equipped with a cooled sapphire window to further cool the surface of the skin while allowing laser light to heat the hair follicle beneath the skin.

How many treatments are needed?

Laser treatments impair the growth capacity of the hair follicles when they are in the active growth stage. Not all follicles are active at the same time and several treatments, every few weeks, may be necessary to obtain the desired result. The number of treatments needed to achieve hair reduction varies. Most patients experience a marked reduction in hair growth in 5 to 8 treatments. Additionally, other factors such as hair density, age and hormones can affect the results of your treatments.

What should I expect following each treatment?

Once your treatment session is complete, you are free to resume your normal routine. Some patients might experience a slight redness in the treated area. This should resolve in a day or two. Avoid sun exposure and use sunscreen following
any laser treatment. Immediately after treatment, hair follicles might seem to grow for one to two weeks. Typically these are lifeless hairs and they will fall out quite easily.
