laser hair removal

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) can be used for permanent hair reduction on most areas of the body includubg face and neck, underarms, back and private areas. IPL systems release precisely controlled strong pulses of filtered light that are absorbed by melanin, the pigment in hair. This heats up the hair and destroys the cells responsible for hair growth, to achieve long term hair reduction. Only hair in the active growth stage of the growth cycle is affected, therefore multiple treatments are often needed. Treatment is conducted every 2-8 weeks, depending on the site treated, until a satisfactory result is seen. The number of treatments required varies, but typically 6 or more treatments are required for maximum results. Treatments can take from 15 minutes to an hour, depending on which area is being treated. Call for a consultation and we can discuss the treatments available and the expected results.
