Laser Epilation

Hair removal is a tedious, painful inconvenience. It takes time and trouble - and there are almost always side-effects which range from the merely irritating (redness and spots) to the fairly serious (cysts and folliculitis). And you have to do it often!

But lasers have changed all that!

Laser hair removal is rapid and less painful than traditional methods. It does not provoke allergic reactions and tends to improve the quality of the skin over time. Best of all, results are really long-lasting! Some of our clients have had practically hair-free legs for over five years, which is when we started hair removal treatments using this superior system.

A great many scientific studies as well as our own clinical experience have demonstrated conclusively that this method of permanent hair removal gives superb, truly long-lasting results.

All regions of the body which pose a hair-removal problem can be treated:
 
- Underarms
- Bikini
- Arms
- Back
- Legs
- Face (chin, upper lip)
- Stomach (chin, upper lip)
- chest
- Stomach

Before and After Treatment

How does laser hair removal work?

The laser ray targets melanin, the dark pigment found in the hair's chromophores.

Attracted by the melanin, the laser ray penetrates to the bottom of the hair shaft where the chromophores proliferate. A heat reaction takes place, through the interaction of the ray and the pigment. This reaction destroys those structures in the hair which are responsible for regrowth.

The laser works best with black and brown hair; it does not work so well with blond, white or red body hair as this type of hair has less pigment.

As hair grows at different rates, a series of treatments is needed to create perfey smooth, hair-free areas - but the results will last a very long time!
