Am I am a candidate for laser hair removal?
If you have unwanted facial and body hair, you ARE a candidate for laser.  A few things that would exclude you from laser hair removal treatments are:
* you are pregnant
* you are undergoing IVF to become pregnant
* you are on medications that prohibit you from exposure to light (often listed on warning labels)
* you have recently sun-tanned (2-3 week waiting period after last prolonged sun exposure)
* your hair does NOT have color (white hairs do NOT respond to laser treatments)

What else should I know before I begin laser hair removal treatments?
To ensure skin safety during your laser hair removal treatment, you MUST avoid prolonged sun exposure (tanning) for 2-3 weeks prior to your laser session.  Please inform your laser practitioner about your current/recent medication history.  Some medications cause skin sensitivity to light so it is very important that we know about this before your laser treatment.

What are the benefits of laser hair removal?
Permanent reduction of unwanted facial and body hair.  Long-term cost savings and the convenience of not having to wax, tweeze or pluck are just a few of the reasons why so many people are choosing laser. Laser hair removal combines the speed of shaving with the lasting results of electrolysis. Laser hair removal treatments are effective for both men and women.

How many laser hair removal treatments will I need?
While individual results vary, the average number of visits required for permanent hair reduction is six.  Only hairs in the first hair growth phase can be killed by the laser (see graphic to the right).  Therefore, the laser treatment must be repeated once every 3-6 weeks until all the hairs in the treatment area have been killed. 

How does laser hair removal work?
Low energy laser-light is applied to the surface of the skin through a small hand piece. The laser-light passes harmlessly

through the uppermost layers of skin and delivers a controlled amount of therapeutic heat to the 'root' or 'bulb' of the hair follicle beneath the surface. The heat absorbed by the hair follicle root disrupts 'normal' hair cell function, stopping growth.
