target the majority of the hair in its active phase of growth.

What Should I Expect During the Treatment?
A licensed provider will design an individualized regimen for you to achieve optimal results. The procedure itself, pre and post care instructions will be reviewed along with the actual treatment.
Protective eyewear will be given to protect your eyes from the laser light during the procedure.
A small hand-piece will be used that touches the skin of the desired area of treatment to deliver the laser light. A light spray of coolant onto the skin will be felt just before each laser pulse. The treatments are quick and little discomfort is experienced because of the dynamic cooling device. The procedure can take as little as 2 minutes to 30 minutes depending on the area treated.
