A non-invasive, safe procedure designed to remove unwanted hair on your body and face by selectively targeting pigment inside the hair follicle generating energy in the form of heat and destroying the hair without damaging the skin. To make the treatment more comfortable we use the latest technology to cool your skin using an integrated cooled sapphire tip AND a Zimmer Cryo5 cooling device which increases patient comfort and safety. Diode laser technology remains the gold standard treatment of unwanted hair which delivers predictable and reliable results. We offer customized treatment programs according to your hair color, texture, and body hair location.

Common Questions about Laser Hair Reduction

Why does hair removal take more than one treatment?

Hair grows in cycles. The laser only disables the hair in the active stage of growth at the time of treatment. It does, however affect the hairs in the early and late stages. The hairs that return are those that were not in the active stage of growth at the time of the treatment. They appear lighter in color and finer in texture. We do see some results after just one treatment, but a series of treatments are needed to have a significant clearance of hair.

Can you do laser hair removal anywhere on your body?

We can do laser hair removal just about anywhere on the body. If the hair is dark, we can remove it. The most common areas for women are the face, bikini, underarms, and legs. Men usually like to do hair removal at the back and shoulders, front of the neck (common place for ingrown hairs ) as well as the glabella (place between the eyebrows). We do arms, legs, toes, underarms, and much more.  Shaping the eyebrows by means of laser is very difficult and not advised.  

Does laser hair removal hurt?

You won’t fall asleep in the treatment chair but you will not be in pain. Our utmost concern, next to the removal of your hair, is your level of comfort! Our 810nm Diode Sonata laser has a sapphire tip that cools the skin prior to firing. In addition to that, we have a Zimmer Cryo 5 Chiller. Unlike other cooling methods such as contact cooling, cryogen spray or ice packs, the Cryo 5 can cool the epidermis 0 °C before, during and after laser energy has been applied without interfering with the laser beam.

Most of our patients have described the sensation of light pricks or comparable to the snapping of a rubber band against the skin.

How many treatments will be needed?

The number of treatments required depends on several factors related to specific skin types, color, thickness and density of hair. We have seen anywhere between three to six treatments to reach a patient’s expectation of hair removal.

Are the results permanent?

Results vary depending on skin and hair type. Studies have shown many patients can achieve permanent hair loss of up to 85-90% and remaining hair returns lighter and softer.
