Welcome to LaserClinic1.com of Northern Michigan, the number one choice for hair removal. We offer both laser hair removal and electrolysis in a discreet setting to help you achieve a beautiful hair-free look. Our equipment is state-of-the-art, providing you with the fastest, safest and most comfortable methods of permanent hair removal.

Excess facial and body hair can be caused by a number of factors including medications, hormonal imbalances, and even heredity. This can be embarrasing, and at the least, a nuisance.

Perhaps you have tried waxing, tweezing, bleaching or depilatories. While most of these traditional methods remove hair, they are only temporary. This happens because they can't destroy the stem hair cells and the blood supply that produce the hair deep in the follicle.

There are two FDA approved methods for safely and effectively removing your unwanted hair.

Lasers are safe, fast, effective and are widely used as a compliment to electrolysis. Our clinic combines both of these treatment methods in order to provide our patients with the quickest, most comfortable permanent hair removal possible.

How does the laser work?
The laser emits a gentle beam of light that passes through the skin to the hair follicle where it is absorbed by the melanin of the hair. The laser energy is transformed into heat, which destroys the hair follicle leaving the surrounding skin unaffected. The skin is further protected during treatment by the cooling of the upper layers, which also provides patients with increased comfort. This helps to protect the skin, while effectively treating the unwanted hair.

Is it permanent?
The FDA has approved our state-of-the-art laser for permanent hair reduction.

Does it hurt?
The degree of discomfort varies depending on each person's pain threshold. Most patients describe treatment as mildly uncomfortable, but not painful. Our laser has a patented cooling device to safely and comfortably perform the treatment.

What to expect?
The patient and the practitioner wear safety eyewear for protection during the procedure.
The average procedure can take as little as 10 minutes or up to an hour, depending on the area treated and other factors.
The treated area may become pink or red within 30 minutes of treatment. This may last from a few hours to several days and is relieved with the application of ice or cooling gels.

Do I qualify for laser treatment?
There are many factors which determine whether a patient can be treated. These vary from hair and skin color to one's medical history. Please contact us for a free consultation.
