Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is an alternative to electrolysis, plucking, waxing, shaving and creams. While all of these methods are effective at removing hair, some are painful and time consuming. Laser hair removal is quick and virtually painless. A lip and chin can be treated in 1 minute and bikini lines treated in less than 5 minutes. The Candela GentleLase Plus is an alexandrite laser with a wavelength of 755nm. This is the best wavelength for the laser to disable the hair follicle without damaging the skin pigment (or tanning cells). The GentleLase also has a cooling spray to protect the skin and make the treatment more comfortable. Clients with darker skin will still need a test area before a full treatment to avoid any unwanted skin color changes. Most clients require treatment every 4-8 weeks for 6-8 treatments, then 2-4 times per year.
