What kind of laser do we use and why?
We use the Apex 800 laser or the Palomar MediLux IPL. These lasers
generate a beam of intense light directed through a small hand piece
to the treatment site. We chose these lasers because we believe they
are the most gentle on your skin. These lasers treat more than one hair
at a time, making it possible to treat larger areas of the body in a
shorter time period than other lasers.
Is Laser Treatment Right For Me? 
Getting rid of unwanted hair can be tedious, involving depilatory
creams, hot wax, razors or electrolysis; all of these treatments can
cause a painful rash or irritating ingrown hairs. Hair removal with
the diode Apex 800 laser or the Palamor MediLux doesn't pull or pluck
to remove the hair. Rather, the light gently destroys the hair follicle,
the source of the hair growth.
How
quickly can I expect results?
Almost immediately.
How
long will the treatment take?
Size of the treatment area determines length of the office visit.
A leg can take up to an hour; an upper lip may take as little as fifteen
minutes.
How
many treatments will I need?
The number of treatments required to obtain optimal results varies
with hair density, hair color, skin types, the treatment area and your
hair growth cycle. Typically, you will need three to six courses of
treatment for one area.
How
much does it cost?
Laser treatment for your hair will replace the razors, creams and
waxes for the rest of your life. Our Personal Care Specialist will meet
with you to determine the cost of your treatment. We will make every
effort to provide the most economical solution for you.*
*Health
insurance plans do not provide reimbursement for cosmetic procedures.
Is
the hair removal permanent?
The laser causes permanent hair reduction and delayed regrowth of
the treated hair follicles. Three to six courses of treatment may result
in a significant enough improvement that it may be all you desire or
require
Who
will be treating me?
Our Personal Care Specialists have received extensive in-service
training in the use of the Apex 800 laser (hair removal diode laser)
