Most of us have hair in areas that detract aesthetically from our appearance.
More than 125 years, electrolysis was the only effective method of permanent hair removal for all skin and hair types.Biotechnology has advanced the methods of hair removal to more effective treatments, while keeping safety.
Light based products, such as Broad Band Light (BBL) and Intense Pulse Light (IPL), and laser baser technologies, such as a YAG (Yttrium Garnet and Aluminum solid tube lasers) are both applied on the skin surface. The hairs pigmentation and skin color are two key factors to the efficacy of hair removal. For effective hair reduction, these methods require a contrast between the skin color (light) and the hair color (dark). Among the newest technologies, elōs by Candela has been very effective in areas where other laser technologies have not.
Hair Removal Options:
- elōs hair removal
- Laser hair removal (YAG lasers)
- Light based technologies (IPL and BBL)
- Electrolysis
- Waxing
- Sugaring
How does light and laser technologies work?
After performing a consultation, to note the coarseness and color of both the skin and hair color, recommendations will be printed. Most patients take between 6-12 treatments for ultimate outcome. About 15% of hair is not dividing at any one time, so cannot be destroyed by this technology. About 60% of the dividing hair follicles can be permanently destroyed with one treatment. If the laser method produces improvement, but the more fair hair persist, Broad Band Light (BBL) and Intense Pulse Light (IPL) treatments may be more beneficial.
To improve the discomfort anesthetic options are used to include topical anesthesia for 30 minute duration, ice, chiller spray and zimmer chiller.It is recommended to inform us if your skin color darkens from tanning in between treatments.
