Is laser hair removal permanent?

Laser hair removal works by sending energy into the hair follicles themselves, where it is absorbed by the pigment in each hair. This energy then damages individual follicles, while causing no harm to surrounding skin cells. Once treatment is complete, there will be a significant reduction in the amount and thickness of hair growth and skin will remain smooth and gorgeous.

does laser hair removal hurt?

Laser hair removal decreases the production of hair with efficient light energy, while a built-in cooling system delivers a mild cryogen to the upper layers of skin, maintaining comfort throughout the hair removal process.

What is laser hair removal?

Concentrated laser light penetrates the follicle, reacting with the pigment. This effectively renders the follicle inactive, so there is no future hair growth in the given area.

Benefits Of Laser Hair Removal

There are several approaches taken to produce smoother, hair-free skin. Laser hair removal has a number of benefits over traditional, temporary hair removal. These include:

Comfort. Waxing, plucking, and even shaving can be uncomfortable and must be regularly performed to address new hair growth. Electrolysis, an early method of permanent hair removal, treats follicles individually with electricity. This treatment is not only time-consuming but quite uncomfortable. GentleLASE® and GentleYAG® decrease the production of hair with efficient light energy, while a built-in cooling system delivers a mild cryogen to the upper layers of skin, maintaining comfort throughout the hair removal process.
Effective. GentleLASE® and GentleYAG® are gentle, comfortable, and effective at producing maximum results. After the completion of a treatment plan, designed to address new hair growth as it occurs, any regrowth of inconsequential hairs tends to be thinner and lighter.
Safe. Laser hair removal works by sending energy into the hair follicles themselves, where it is absorbed by the pigment in each hair. This energy then damages individual follicles, while causing no harm to surrounding skin cells. Once treatment is complete, there will be a significant reduction in the amount and thickness of hair growth and skin will remain smooth and gorgeous.
