Hair removal works as the heat from the light goes through the skin down to the hair follicle and damages it, inhibiting any further growth of the hair.

We typically recommend 4 – 6 treatments spaced four to six weeks apart for ideal results. Patients often do not notice results until after the first few treatments. There are, often, follow up treatments recommend down the road as well.

It is important to understand that a small portion of the population (about 5%) do not respond to Hair Removal. It is also important to note that skin darkening or lightening and scarring are potential risks for Hair Removal, though they are rare. Prior to the treatment, patients should be well concealed from the sun and tanning booths, including spray tans. The area to be treated should have 3 days of growth for the first initial treatment.
