The Answer To Unwanted Hair

Shaving, waxing, depilatory creams, tweezing -- these are the typical tools used by most women to remove unwanted hair. While these methods are readily available and seem practical, in the long run they can become expensive, inconvenient and tedious. Compare a lifetime of constantly removing unwanted hair to an average of six to eight sessions to permanently remove them. This is now possible with LaserLight hair removal, which has become the norm for thousands of women since its introduction in 2000.

LaserLight uses an FDA-approved diode laser that emits pulses of light energy that are absorbed by the pigment or melanin of the hair follicle. A unique ChillTip hand piece cools on contact, protecting the skin while directing the laser energy to the hair follicle. This targets the hair root and disables it from growing new hair. Different body areas are treated such as the underarms, legs, bikini line and upper lip. More than one treatment is necessary because hair grows in different stages. While some may be in the active growth phase (anagen) during treatment, other hair may be in the regression (catagen) or resting (telogen) phases. Only hair that is actively growing may be treated by LaserLight. Eventually, the hair resting during the previous treatment will begin to grow and when there is sufficicent growth, the client can come in again for the next treatment.

Clients will only feel a stinging sensation during the treatment and a topical anesthetic may also be used to further alleviate any discomfort. An average of six to eight sessions are required to permanently remove all unwanted hair. Aside from hair removal, underarm skin also becomes smoother and lighter because there is no trauma from conventional hair-removal methods. That means no more chicken skin, dark underarms, rashes, ingrown hair and stubble.
