Laser Hair Removal
Traditional hair reduction methods — shaving, waxing, tweezing and creams — are time consuming and must be repeated frequently. Until recently, the only effective method for long-lasting hair reduction was electrolysis, a slow and painful process in which follicles are individually destroyed by electrical current. Since 1995, however, lasers have proven to be effective in providing fast and long-lasting hair reduction.
Affinity Spa medica’s MeDioStar XT™ by Asclepion offers the ultimate in safe laser hair reduction technology even for darker skin types. The high power of the 810nm diode laser allows for larger spot sizes and ensures effective treatment down to the deepest follicle, while the laser’s unique double-pulsing technology guarantees preservation of surrounding tissue. Here at Affinity we offer the latest technology to provide you the best service.
How does hair reduction work?
A pulse of laser light penetrates into the skin and delivers the energy at the root of the hair, destroying the hair root while sparing the surrounding skin.
What areas can be treated?
All areas of the body can be treated, except around the eyes.
How long does the procedure take?
It depends on the area being treated. It will typically take 15 minutes to treat the underarms and up to an hour for legs.
Is it painful?
Anesthesia is not required - the only effect felt is a hot and tingling sensation that is well tolerated.
Is it safe?
Complications are rare. In less than 1% of cases, skin lightning or darkening may occur. It is advisable to wear sunblock when in the sun during the month following laser treatment.
How many treatments will I require?
Because hair grows in multiple cycles, several treatments are necessary, their number depending on type of hair and location. Treatments are usually performed 4 to 6 weeks apart.
What results can I expect?
Clinical studies have demonstrated a permanent reduction in hair numbers after each treatment.
Is it permanent?
Yes. After each treatment, the hair that re-grows is thinner, lighter and less numerous.
Are there any side effects?
Side effects are minimal and are generally limited to a slight redness of the skin which should not persist for more than a few hours.
