For decades, both men and women have tried various methods to remove unwanted hair from the body.
These methods have included shaving, waxing, electrolysis and the use
of depilatory creams.
Each of these methods
produce various degrees of success and each one has its own associated set
of problems. Shaving simply removes hair above the surface of the skin
and the hair naturally grows back. Waxing may last for up to 6 to 8 weeks,
but it doesn't destroy the hair follicle and the hair eventually re-grows.
Electrolysis is very time consuming and painful process.
Because individual
hair follicles can only be destroyed during the growth phase, about 50%
of hair follicles are not effectively treated, requiring multiple re-treatments.
And the use of depilatory creams is messy, smelly and time-consuming...
Over the past several years,
lasers have gained widespread acceptance as the best alternative. They
produce long-lasting hair removal in a faster manner than electrolysis.
They also destroy hair follicles without the damage to surrounding tissue
that electrolysis often produces. Additionally, many hair follicles can
be treated simultaneously, allowing for fast coverage of large areas.
The problem with most hair removal lasers is that they cannot treat a
broad range of skin types. Most lasers today are only suited to treating
people with light skin tones and dark hair. That's not good if you have
darker skin tones or lighter hair color... We use the best lasers available approved by the FDA for permanent hair reduction on all skin types.
This means that we are able to successfully treat very light as well as dark skin types, included tanned skin, with only a few treatments.
