Laser Hair Removal
Laser Hair Removal permanently removes un-wanted body or facial
hair. Unlike treatments such as electrolysis, which treat hair
by hair, the Gentlelase Laser treats many hairs at once, which
makes it great for treating larger areas such as legs, arms,
bikini line. It also makes treating male chest or back areas
much more efficient.
How Does It Work ?
Gentlelase is a medically developed and researched laser system
for the removal of unwanted body hair. The Gentlelase laser
energy is absorbed by the pigment in the hair and travels through
the skin to the base of the hair follicle, disrupting the hair
root growth. The laser energy kills the roots of the hair that
are in the active growth phase at the time of the treatment.
Is The Treatment Painful?
This is an initial concern for many patients. The Gentlelase
process uses a special cryogen cooling system, which lowers
the temperature of the skin during and after laser exposure.
The treatment is generally described as, similar to a small
rubber band being flicked against the skin. The treatment is
generally not painful and well tolerated. A topical anesthetic
cream is an option for more sensitive areas.
How Long Does the Treatment Take?
This varies depending on the area being treated. The process
can take anywhere between 5 minutes to an hour.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
This varies depending on the area being treated, age and hormones
are also contributing factors. Studies have shown permanent
hair loss of up to 85 - 90% after 6 - 8 treatments.
