What does hair removal involve?
The procedure uses laser light or non-invasive light called LightSheer. Pulses of light safely penetrate your skin, disabling hundreds of hair follicles at once.The system’s unique design offers you customized treatment according to the color, texture and location of your unwanted hair.

You may feel a mild sting similar to the snap of a rubber band, but no local anesthesia or pain medication is required.

The number of treatments required depends upon your hair color and the area being targeted. Because hair grows in cycles, several treatments are needed for optimal results. Each session lasts 10 to 30 minutes.

What should I expect after the hair removal procedure?
Because gentle lase is a non-invasive procedure requiring no anesthetic or pain medication, you can return to work the same day and immediately resume all regular activities.

You may experience some short-term side effects, including slight reddening of the skin or local swelling that goes away within a few days. In rare instances, there may be some blistering.

How does gentle lase compare to other hair removal methods?

• Shaving, waxing, depilatory creams. These are temporary methods that must be repeated on a regular basis. Hair removal by gentle lase light therapy creates longer-lasting results. 
• Electrolysis. No matter your skin or hair type, electrolysis is an effective solution to unwanted hair.  This is aninvasive procedure that involves inserting a needle into the hair follicle that results in the electrical destrcution of that follicle.
