Laser hair removal is a noninvasive light therapy designed to eliminate undesired hair from all parts of the body. Laser light safely penetrates the skin to remove hair and impair hair growth. Several treatments will be needed based on hair density, color and location on the body. You may return to work the same day and resume all regular activities. We do recommend limiting sun exposure always. Treatments are spaced four weeks apart and five treatments are normally required. Please avoid waxing and plucking 3-4 weeks before your appointment (shaving and cream depilatories may be used).

Gentle Lase® Laser System, a long-pulse alexandrite laser, emits a gentle beam of light that passes through the skin to the hair follicle where it is absorbed. The laser energy destroys the hair follicle leaving the surrounding skin unaffected. Since hair grows in cycles, the number of treatments required depends upon your skin color, hair color and coarseness of hair. We recommend five monthly treatments on average.
