During the 15-20 minute process, a laser emits a light that is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair. The light energy is converted to heat, which damages the tube-shaped sacs within the skin (hair follicles) that produce hairs. This damage inhibits or delays future hair growth.

After Care

​

• After laser hair removal the area will be slightly warm and irritated and should subside within the first couple of minutes. 

• Please avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours as it can irritate the skin. 

• Resume a regular skin regimen once the treatment area is back to “normal.”

• Treatment should be scheduled every four  weeks.

After your treatment you can expect a little redness. You'll have to come back for 6-10 sessions depending on the hair density. This treatment can be done once a month. Laser hair removal is hair reduction.
