Tired of waxing, plucking or shaving those unwanted hairs? Intense Pulsed Light Therapy/Laser Therapy are FDA-approved to permanently reduce unwanted hair growth. The light waves penetrate the hair follicle, putting an end to hair growth. The modality chosen will depend on each individual skin type.

Lower Back

Because hair can only be affected during certain growth cycles, several treatments are necessary. Usually, five to seven sessions are required to achieve the desired effect. Treatments are conducted in a series. The number of treatments is determined by your healthcare professional. The hair reduction should be permanent, though it will not eliminate 100% of hair growth, and occasional touch-ups may be necessary. 

 Chin

Most clients experience a little discomfort. Some clients may feel heat or a slight stinging sensation similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin. No downtime is involved; clients can return to normal activities immediately.

Possible side effects include redness of the skin and mild swelling. Burns, patchy regrowth and pigmentation changes are very rare. Clients with keloids or recent tans may not be ideal candidates. White/gray hair cannot be treated with Intense Pulsed Light or Laser since these treatments rely on melanin for light absorption. Intense Pulsed Light/Laser Therapy may not be recommended for pregnant women or clients taking blood thinners.

Instructions before treatment:
Do not tan or stay in the sun for extended periods of time before treatment. Avoid aspirin and other blood thinners. Treatment area should be clean shaven prior to IPL/Laser Therapy. Waxing prior to treatment should be avoided.

Instructions after treatment:
Avoid any sun exposure for 48 hours and wear SPF 30 sunscreen. You may apply cool compresses to reduce any redness and swelling. Waxing is not recommended between treatments, however shaving is permitted.

To ensure your safety, test spots will be performed prior to initial treatment with IPL/Laser.
