About Laser

The laser targets the pigment located in the hair follicle and shaft.
The light is absorbed by the pigmented root in the hair follicle and
the energy is converted to heat which results in damage to the hair. This damage causes delayed re-growth of hair and, in most cases, permanent destruction of many of the hairs.

Unlike Electrolysis, which destroys one hair at a time, the laser can reach and treat hundreds at a time. While there is no laser that has received FDA approval for a claim of permanent hair removal, laser hair removal HAS received clearance by the FDA for claiming permanent hair reduction. It is also possible that follicles in the treated area, while not being completely destroyed, will be sufficiently reduced to the point where they produce fine hairs that do not respond to further treatment. These hairs would better be permanently destroyed by Electrolysis at this point.

Often the client doesn't choose one method over another but the better method is decided by what is best for the client due to all the factors involved. In deciding which path is the wiser and more cost-efficient one for you, your technician and you will determine together what to do with your unique circumstances and what you are most comfortable with. Therefore, a consultation is pretty much necessary to see one's skin and hairs and make decisions based on those, and other factors.
