Laser Hair Removal provides you with the ultimate solution for unwanted hair.These days, the most popular and most effective method for hair removal is the use of lasers which have been specifically designed to damage and destroy many hairs in a short time, and with little chance of complications. People are interested in laser hair removal because it involves new and efficient technology, and its effects are permanent in more than 80% of cases.

Laser Hair Removal works by emitting a specailized light that is passed through the skin and preferentially absorbed by its target, be it an unwanted blood vessel, birthmark, tattoo, or in this case, hair. The laser used in hair removal targets the melanin (colour) in the hair follicle, damaging  the follicle and removing the hair.  Image uses the newest lightsheer technology, which is the gold standard hair removal laser in the industry. It safely and effectively treats hair in skin types one through five. The most popular areas for women are the lip, chin, underarms, bikini and legs. For men, typical areas include the back, shoulders, neck, chest and abdomen.

What happens during the hair removal treatment?

The area of your skin that is to be treated will be washed, and then scanned with laser light using the lightsheer duet. Treatment time will depend upon the area to be treated. A cooling system is built in and is used for removing heat as it leaves the follicles and should ensure a comfortable treatment. However, since the sensation varies from individual to individual, a topical anesthesia can be purchased and applied by the patient an hour and a half prior to treatment. Discuss this with the medical staff before your appointment.

What should I expect after treatment?

Some pinkness may be present in the area that has been treated, however this usually subsides within a few hours. For some patients recovery time will be longer with prolonged reddness or swelling to the area. We recommend following our post treatment instructions, keeping the treated area cool for the next 24 hours, no hot water to the area, use of 30 SPF sunscreen or higher, and avoid any harsh irritating products to the treated area.

Is treatment permanent?

On average, each laser treatment will be associated with some permanent hair loss. In most cases hair removal can only be achieved after several treatments. The number of treatments will depend on each patients individual response to laser and the amount of hair to be removed. The goal is not total hair removal, but many patients are happy with a reasonable degree of hair reduction. The hair that remains is often much lighter and thinner than the original hair prior to laser treatments. As with other treatments for unwanted hair, there is no guarantee that laser hair removal treatment will be permanent.

How many treatments will I need?

You may need to be treated 5-8 times at approximately 4-6 week intervals. There are three phases of hair growth- anagen, catagen and teleogen. Only hairs in the active growth, anagen, can be successfully treated.
