LASER HAIR REMOVAL

Our Smooth as Silk procedures use the most advanced hair removal lasers on the market. Mediostar XT laser precools the skin for your comfort. The Mediostar XT effectively removes unwanted body hair. Proven delicate enough for a woman’s sensitive skin and robust enough for a man’s beard, back and arms. Laser hair removal works by targeting the pigment inside the hair follicle without damaging delicate pores and structures of the skin. Because hair cycles through "growth" and "dormant" phases, and because during the "dormant" phase the follicle has no pigment, a minimum of 4-5 treatments will normally be needed. Rediscover skin that’s silky smooth.

How does hair removal work?
A pulse of laser light penetrates into the skin and delivers the energy at the root of the hair, destroying the hair follicle while protecting the surrounding skin.

What areas can be treated?
All areas of the body can be treated, except around the eyes.

How long does the procedure take?
It depends on the area being treated. It will take typically up to 15 minutes to treat the underarms and up to an hour for legs.

Is it painful?
While some areas can be more sensitive than others, most individuals describe the feeling as a slight stinging or tingling sensation. If needed, clients can also request a topical anesthetic to be applied prior to treatment.

How many treatments are required?
Hair grows in multiple cycles, therefore, several treatments are necessary. The number of treatments depends on type of hair and location, roughly 5-8 treatments. Treatments are usually performed 4-8 weeks apart.

Are there any side effects?
Side effects are minimal and are generally limited to a slight redness of the skin which should not persist for more than a few hours.

Do you have to shave prior to treatment?
The area of treatment needs to be shaved, no plucking or tweezing.

Is it permanent?
Clinical studies have demonstrated a permanent reduction in hair numbers after each treatment. However, there are variables such as hormones, medication, ethnicity, metabolism and certain genetic factors that may affect permanent hair reduction.
