LASER HAIR REMOVAL
How does it work?
Dynamic Pulse Control™ (DPC) technology is a powerful light-based technology that effectively targets the hair follicle without harming any other parts of the skin. During the treatment, the heat energy denaturizes the melanin in the hair follicle,
and as a result, that follicle cannot grow new hair.
Laser is directed to and absorbed by the melanin which heats the hair shaft. The heat then weakens or destroys the follicle all together. As a result the hair follicle detaches from the hair shaft. The hair sheds and without the follicle, hair cannot regrow in the area.
Q. WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS?
A. TWO WEEKS FOLLOWING THE FIRST TREATMENT, YOU WILL BEGIN TO SEE RESULTS AND SIGNIFICANTLY LESS HAIR WILL GROW BACK. ADDITIONALLY, WITH EACH TREATMENT THE AMOUNT OF HAIR REGROWTH WILL DECREASE.
​
Q. HOW LONG DOES EACH TREATMENT TAKE?
A. TREATMENT TIME DEPENDS ON THE AREA BEING TREATED. THE AVERAGE LARGE TREATMENT AREA TAKES APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES. SMALL AREAS TAKE AROUND 5 MINUTES
​
Q. HOW MANY TREATMENTS ARE REQUIRED?
A. THE TYPICAL REGIMEN IS 6-10 TREATMENT SESSIONS, SPACED 4-6 WEEKS APART
​
Q. WHY ARE MULTIPLE TREATMENTS NECESSARY?
A. ABOUT 20-25% OF HUMAN HAIR FOLLICLES ON THE BODY ARE IN THE ACTIVE GROWTH PHASE AT ANY GIVEN TIME. THIS IS THE PERCENTAGE OF HAIR FOLLICLES THAT CAN BE DESTROYED IN A SINGLE TREATMENT SESSION. IN ORDER TO ELIMINATE UP TO 90% OF THE HAIR, TREATMENTS SHOULD BE REPEATED UNTIL THE DESIRED RESULT IS ACHIEVED.
