Hair Removal Lasers

Hair removal lasers are all based on the same IPL (Intense Pulse Light) technology. First approved for public use in 1997 by the FDA, hair removal lasers are the only relatively permanent and pain-free solution on the market. They work by targeting the melanin (pigment) in hair follicles with light that destroys the roots. Hair will not grow back, allowing you to have permanently smooth and hair-free skin.

What to Expect from Hair Removal Lasers

There are some unique factors of laser hair removal that must be considered before having your treatment. You will be expected to shave the desired area prior to your sessions to allow the laser to work most successfully.

Your skin may be a little red after each session, but there should be little pain or irritation. Most people schedule laser treatments between errands or over lunch because it is quick, easy, and unproblematic. At the most, patients describe the feeling of hair removal lasers as being equal to the snap of a small rubber band against the skin. The feeling is fast and fleeting, with no lasting effects.

If you are apprehensive about the treatment, your physician can administer a topical anesthetic cream prior to your session to ensure your comfort.
