Permanent Hair Reduction
There are MANY lasers on the market today (including ours) that are FDA approved for all skin types.
Now laser hair removal can be painless with our new Serenity device!
Both of our machines can theoretically treat all skin types. However, most laser experts agree that an Alexandrite or Diode laser is better for Types I-III, and that an Nd:Yag is more appropriate for types IV-VI.
Traditional techniques such as shaving, plucking, and waxing, provide only temporary relief and may actually stimulate hair growth. Electrolysis, while effective, often requires years of ongoing and frequently painful treatments. Waxing, shaving, and chemicals (such as Nair) commonly result in scarring, allergic reactions, and ingrown hairs. Laser hair removal works by targeting the pigment inside the hair follicle without damaging delicate pores and structures of the skin. Because hair cycles through "growth" and "dormant" phases, and because during the "dormant" phase the follicle has no pigment, at least 4 to 5 treatments will be needed.
Laser hair removal is a non-invasive method of photoepilation, which does not require needles or messy chemical creams. Since thousands of hairs can be zapped in a single treatment session, large areas like the back, shoulders, arms and legs can be effectively and efficiently treated. A patented dynamic cooling device reduces pain and maximizes patient protection by delivering a short, targeted burst of non-toxic cryogen onto the top layers of the skin milliseconds before the laser pulse. This evaporative coolant speeds up treatment, without affecting the underlying targeted hair follicles and blood vessels or impeding your visibility.
The DCD is unique to Candela lasers and eliminates the need for messy cooling gels and expensive anesthesia for most patients. Best of all, it helps decrease treatment times, and allows for quick recovery. Also, with a treatment spot size of up to 18mm, the treatments are very fast. For instance, a full back treatment can be completed in just 30 minutes and a full set of legs in just an hour! This treatment can easily be scheduled into your lunch hour!
