What is laser hair removal?

A specialized laser to remove unwanted hair from various parts of the body, including the face, underarms, legs, and bikini area. This advanced technology is designed to be effective for all skin types, including darker skin tones, and provides precise and targeted treatments that result in long-lasting hair reduction.
 
The Elite iQ laser system uses a combination of two different types of lasers – Alexandrite and Nd:YAG – to effectively target hair follicles without damaging the surrounding skin. The Alexandrite laser is ideal for treating larger areas of the body, while the Nd:YAG laser is better suited for smaller, more delicate areas. This technology also includes a specialized cooling system to help minimize discomfort during treatment and maximize patient comfort.

Frequently asked questions

The treatment typically starts with an initial consultation with one of our trained skin care professionals to assess the patient’s hair type, skin type, and medical history. During the treatment, the patient will sit or lie down in a comfortable position, and the technician will apply a cooling gel or numbing cream to the treatment area to minimize any discomfort. Then, the Elite iQ laser device will be applied to the skin, emitting a concentrated beam of light that targets the hair follicles. The laser energy will be absorbed by the pigment in the hair, damaging the follicles and inhibiting future hair growth. The treatment may take anywhere from a few minutes to an hour depending on the size of the treatment area, and most patients require multiple sessions for optimal results.
