We use the state-of-the-art Apex 800 diode laser by Iridex. This laser is ideal for skin types I-V. A beam of intense light is generated by the laser and selectively absorbed by pigment on the hair causing damage to the follicle. Through the use of a large sized cooling tip with direct operator control, small and large areas are easily treated. Although darker hair responds best, we are also able to treat gray, blond, and red hair (which were not treatable by laser in the past).

Since the laser is only able to treat hair in the growing stages, hair removal is a process taking a variable number of treatments over time. The average number of treatments is usually 4-6 although with some conditions more are necessary. Short term effects include slight reddening of the skin and localized swelling which usually last less than one hour.

It is important that the area to be treated not be recently tanned or sun burned. Also one should not pluck, wax, or use hair removal creams on the area for at least 2 weeks prior to treatment and during treatment.

At your consultation, we will make specific recommendations, based on your skin type, color and type of hair and goals.
