How does it work?

When dark, coarse hair appears in places we don't want it to, it prevents us from wearing the things we like and affects how we feel about ourselves. Our Diode Light Sheer Laser machine will safely and effectively reduce hair growth permanently. Just about any area of the body can be treated and it works effectively on all skin types.

Depending on the area being treated, sessions can last from a few minutes to an hour or more. Because the Laser tends to treat hair follicles that are in an active growth phase, several sessions may be required to achieve the end result. The appearance of the area immediately after the treatment will vary from person to person. This may include redness and slight swelling which will subside after a short time.

Is the treatment painful?

This is a common initial concern for many of our clients. Our laser uses a special cooling system that lowers the temperature of the skin, therefore, the treatment is generally not painful and is well tolerated. The treatment itself may cause a slight stinging sensation. Most clients can tolerate the procedure well and say that it feels like a rubber band flicking against the skin.

Possible Side Effects

Redness of the skin and mild swelling that lasts from an hour to 24 hours. In some instances the redness may last a few days and there could be some grazing or 'scabbing' which typically subsides over a short period of time.

How many treatments will be needed?

Laser treatment works on hair follicles when they are in the growth (or anagen) cycle at the time of treatment. Unfortunately, not all hair follicles are at this stage at the same time. Therefore, for effective permanent hair removal, most people require approximately five to eight treatments to achieve the desired results.

How long will the procedure take?

This varies depending on the area of the body. Treatments can take anything from 10 minutes to 1 hour.
