For some, having an excess of body hair or hair in undesirable places, can damage our confidence and make life difficult and public appearances embarrassing.

There are many perfectly natural reasons why body and facial hair grows the way it does, where it does - but luckily, a visit to our spa can help eliminate this problem from your life - forever.

Depending on your skin type and health status, laser hair removal treatments can be extremely beneficial. The elimination of unwanted hair can take up to six sessions, with intervals of up to a few months between each session. We use state of the art laser technology during sessions, which last from a few minutes up to one hour.

Laser hair removal works by impairing the growth capacity of hair follicles during the active growth phase. Since it only works during this active growth phase several treatments, every few weeks may be necessary to achieve desired results.

• Results last between 6 and 12 months before follow up treatment is needed to maintain results
• You may experience a slight tingling sensation during treatment
• Treatments take between 5 and 30 minutes depending on specifics of treatment
• Most patients experience considerable hair reduction after 4 to 7 treatments
• Factors like hair density, hormone fluctuation and age can affect results

Treatment

There is an initial consultation with a staff member to discuss eligibility, details of treatment, and to schedule a treatment time. After arriving for your appointment, the area to be treated will be cleaned and a topical anesthetic may be applied. Right before treatment you will receive safety glasses or eye shields to be placed over your eyes and the anesthetic will be removed (if applied).

Treatment will begin with a clear gel applied to the skin that helps the chilled laser hand piece glide. The hand piece will be moved across the treatment area in an even pattern for one or more passes to achieve even coverage as the laser energy is delivered.

After treatment your skin may appear flushed and/or swollen which will usually subside after a few hours or days depending on the intensity of treatment. Even if treated hair appears unchanged, it is now lifeless and will fall out over time. Lastly, you should take care to limit sun exposure and work with your doctor for post treatment care.

Is it Safe?

Since 1989, IRIDEX has been a leader in medical precision laser technology with a track record of developing exceptionally safe and effective systems. All treatments have been carefully researched and FDA cleared: however, like any medical procedure, there are risks that you should discuss with your physician prior to treatment.
