Laser Hair Removal

How does it work for hair removal?

​

As mentioned previously the system we use uses triple wavelength technology.  These three wavelengths transfer energy downwards, reaching different depths of the dermal tissue.

This causes volumetric heating of the dermal tissue, altering function of the hair by heating the dermal tissue and thermally injure the hair follicle.

​

The melanin in the hair helps to conduct the heat, bringing the temperature of the follicle above the temperature of the dermal tissue.

​

This allows the energy to build within the follicle causing irreversible heat trauma. However, the delicate skin tissue is left unaffected.  Therefore, impairing hair re-growth.

​

Is it Painful?

 

Laser hair removal is never completely pain free.  Heat from the laser is needed to kill the hair follicle.  You should feel a mild prickling sensation and heat. 

 

The contact cooling system allows the client to feel much more comfortable especially in those intimate areas with precision application.

​
