24 years, that's what we've done best!
Take a look and see if laser hair removal is for you.
Laser hair removal is the process of removing hair from the body by means of a highly
concentrated light. This laser light is attracted to pigment (melanin) which is
abundant in black and brown hair.
It's easy to become a little apprehensive about laser hair removal, however it is
a simple concept to understand. First, a sophisticated laser hand piece is lightly
pressed against the skin. Once firmly in place, the laser pulses into the skin for
a fraction of a second, searching out all of the dark hairs that occupy the follicles
under the skin. Once located, the laser heats up the hair, disabling the hair growth
cells and destroying the follicles ability to grow another hair. Large areas of
hair growth can be effectively treated in a minimal amount of time.
Not all laser hair removal technology is the same.
Researchers began experimenting with laser hair removal in the 1980's. This technology
became available to consumers during the mid 1990's, however the early technology
was very limited. Over the years, significant advancements in the technology have
occurred. Today, more and more laser machines have flooded the market, making the
choices for laser procedures seem endless. However, not all laser machines are equal
in their effectiveness in treating unwanted hair. With all the options available
on the market today, choosing a hair removal practice can be very confusing.
We have chosen a state-of-the-art system specially designed to
remove unwanted hair faster, and with more reliability than any other system.
Our choice in laser hair removal is the Light Sheer
laser, which is regarded as the world's most advanced
and the gold-standard laser for hair removal. And best
of all, it has been approved by the FDA for treating all skin types, allowing us
to treat from the lightest to the darkest of skin on both men and women.
Laser hair removal is classified by the FDA as "permanent hair reduction". What
this means is that laser hair removal treatments will typically eliminate 85% to
95% of hair growth. The small amount of hair that remains is usually much finer,
light in color and not very noticeable. If, however, a client would like to remove
these remaining hairs, they can be permanently removed very easily with
electrolysis.
Typically, it requires about 6 laser treatments to get the desired results. This
can vary, however, depending on the area being treated, the color of the skin, the
texture of the hair, and how well the client adheres to their treatment schedule.

Most clients find that any discomfort from the laser procedure is tolerable. However,
we have a topical anesthetic available that can be used to make the treatment virtually
pain free.
We strive to give our clients the best treatments available at an affordable
price. Our fees are based on the size of the area that is being treated.

Laser hair removal is a fast and effective way to remove hair from almost any area
of the body, however, there are some guidelines to remember. Laser is not effective
for hairs that lack pigment such as white, grey, blond or red hairs. Extremely fine
hair is also difficult, since there is little pigment involved. Laser hair removal
is also not permitted on the eyebrow area. In all these cases,
electrolysis is recommended as an alternative.
