Get Rid Of Embarassing Hair With Laser Hair Removal

By:


The laser emits a gentle beam of light that passes through the skin and is absorbed by the hair follicle. The absorbed laser energy is transformed into heat, destroying the hair follicle and leaving the surrounding skin unaffected.

Our GentleLASE laser is the only system available with a Dynamic Cooling Device that sprays cryogen onto the skin. This cools the upper skin layers and protects even the most delicate skin while dramatically reducing discomfort. Compared to other hair removal lasers on the market, our GentleLASE system is virtually painless.

This same laser works on leg veins! Spider veins and larger leg veins can be effectively treated with the same laser wavelength by simply using a different delivery head. This specially shaped head gets laser energy sufficiently deep into those pesky leg veins to destroy them very effectively. Compared with sclero therapy, treatment is easier, faster and more effective. Like sclero therapy, this is temporary, improving with each treatment.

Laser treatment is an FDA approved non-invasive approach to permanent reduction of facial and body hair. Long term studies in the U.S. and Europe have shown the technology to be effective and safe when done by experienced professionals. It is a convenient way to remove unwanted hair without shaving, waxing, or electrolysis. Women most often treat the lip and chin, under arms, bikini line, and legs. Men usually treat the back, shoulders, and upper arms. At Grant Street Medial Spa, we use the Gentlase Plus for all of our hair removal. All laser treatments are performed by our Registered Nurse.

How does it work?

Dark pigment (melanin) in the hair attracts and absorbs the energy of the light emitted by the laser. In a fraction of a second, the absorbed laser energy is transformed into heat, destroying the hair follicle, without damaging the skin or surrounding tissue. A certain percentage of the follicles are instantaneously and permanently disabled with each treatment. The process takes from several minutes to several hours, depending on the area of the body involved.

How many treatments will it take?

Hair grows in three phases: the growth phase, the mature phase and the dormant phase. The laser affects hair follicles only in the growth phase. Because of this, more than one treatment is necessary to disable all hair follicles. Treatments are done 4 to 6 weeks apart, in order to treat hair follicles in the growth phase. Usually 3-5 treatments are necessary to treat all hair follicles.
