reduction. Optimally, any hair re-growth should be less dense, finer,
and lighter.

Light energy is absorbed by the pigment in the hair shaft and converted to heat.
This heat damages the cells that produce the hair resulting in hair
reduction.
Due to the nature of hair growth, multiple treatment sessions are usually required (typically 4-8).
Dark, coarse hair is more effectively treated with laser and light.
Blonde, red, and finer hair is more difficult to treat with laser and light
Grey and white hair cannot be treated effectively with laser or light.
Our equipment allows for the treatment of all skin types I – VI.
We are able to treat tanned skin, but we prefer that patients
avoid tanning
immediately before or after treatments.
Almost any area of the body can be treated
We do not use laser within the orbit or the ear canal.
