Treatments & Prices- Laser Hair Removal

The laser beam passes through the skin without damaging it. The laser light is absorbed by melanin which is the dark pigment within the hair and then converted to heat. This allows a selective destruction of the base of the hair follicle, making it unable to produce hair as it did before. The surrounding skin is unharmed.  

Women usually choose to treat their bikini area, underarms, face, legs, arms and back. Men commonly choose their chest, abdomen and back as well as the beard and neck areas. We are able to reduce unwanted hair by 80-90% in most of our patients without major complications. Those seeking treatment due to in-growing hairs and razor burns typically see complete resolution after six to eight sessions spaced at six week intervals.  

Follicular edema, or hair follicle swelling, is a perfectly natural result of every laser hair removal session. In 90% of patients it has gone in 15 minutes. In rare cases it can last for several days and cause itching. In these cases treatment with Aloe Vera or 1% hydrocortisone lotion is advised. 

Unlike traditional laser, using high energy levels that may cause discomfort and pain, SmartDiode Laser treatment is gentle and comfortable, resulting in a pleasant warming of the skin. Active skin cooling through the applicator ensures complete comfort even in the most sensitive areas.
