A laser produces a beam of highly concentrated light. The pigment located in hair follicles absorbs the light emitted by the laser. The laser pulses for a fraction of second, just long enough to heat up the hair, disabling several follicles at a time to eliminate or significantly impede the hair�s re-growth. An important part of the procedure is the cooling of the skin. A special contact cooling hand pieced allows your technician to treat even the most sensitive skin.
The length of a laser session may be a few minutes to an hour or more depending on the size of the area being treated. It is important to treat hair that is in active growth phase, this is why you will need more than one treatment to disable hair follicles that subsequently enter the growth phase.

The appearance of the treated area immediately after the treatment will vary from client to client depending on the extent of the procedure and skin type. Side effects if any are usually minor. There may be some redness and swelling around the hair follicle, this is a desired clinical result indicating that the follicle has responded to the treatment.

Sun exposure before and after each treatment, will minimize the risk of complication.
