Unwanted hair concerns a
surprisingly large percentage of Men and Women. Creams, electrolysis,
waxing, tweezing, shaving and other things have been tried for decades.
All have proven to be either painful, inconvenient or ineffective.
Laser hair removal was
developed in an attempt to create a painless and permanent method for
removing unwanted hair. While it is a very successful technique that
patients are happy with, it is not yet permanent.
With our Cool Touch
Laser, a cooling head protects the skin while the Laser light passes
through it to be absorbed by the hair follicle. This is not very
uncomfortable, feeling almost like a small rubber band snap.
About 30% of our hair
follicles are actively growing at any given time. Only these are treated
effectively. That is why with any Laser Hair Removal, multiple
treatments are needed.
Usually 3-6 treatments
will result in a long term clearance of about 85-90% of the hairs. In
most cases the hairs that grow back are thinner and more sparse.
Treatments are repeated as needed.
This procedure can be
done on a lunch break and requires no recovery.
Spider Veins
can be a very unsightly problem. While larger veins are injected, spider
veins can now be removed with a flash of Laser Light.
All areas
can be treated during one session, but more than one session is usually
required to accomplish complete removal.
Slight
bruising or discoloration can occur afterwards, but usually clears in a
few days.
The procedure requires no
anesthesia or recovery time and can be done during a lunch hour.
