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.
