Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is the option for unwanted hair on the face and body. It is not a permanent solution but it greatly reduces regrowth of hair. This does however vary from person to person as some clients do experience complete removal with no regrowth, but it is not 100% guaranteed for all clients. The laser light wavelength used for hair removal is attracted to darker hair color like brown and black. In order for laser hair removal to be performed, the hair must be dark colored. Blonde, white, and grey hairs are not treated by laser because of the lack of pigment. Red hair will sometimes be dark enough to attract the laser wavelength, but usually not.

The wavelength is attracted to pigmentation and will only treat those areas. For this reason undesired hair must be shaved prior to treatment. We want the laser to target the hair where it is developed under the skin’s surface in order to destroy the follicle, not above the skin’s surface. The Spa recommends a series of 3-6 treatments, sometimes more or sometimes less depending on each individual client and the outcome per treatment. With each treatment the hair follicle is zapped and killed, forcing the body to regenerate a new hair follicle. The process of multiple treatments eventually fatigues the body’s process to regenerate new hair, resulting in semi permanent removal. It is recommended that once desired results are achieved, a follow up appointment 1-2 times per year is needed to ensure the hair follicles are not able to reproduce.
