Treatment areas will first be cleaned and prepped. Both you and your laser specialist will wear protective eyewear to filter out any harmful light throughout your treatment.
During the procedure, your medical aesthetic specialist will hold the skin of your treatment area taut and use a handheld applicator to deliver concentrated light pulses directly into your hair follicles. Patients often liken the sensations to the feeling of a rubber band being snapped against their skin. However, thanks to the contact-cooling feature on our laser device, these sensations are generally well-tolerated. The melanin in the hair will absorb the thermal light energy which, in turn, destroys the hair so that it cannot grow back.
The duration of your treatment will vary depending on the size and number of treatment areas. Smaller areas such as the under arm or lip and chin only take a few minutes to treat, whereas larger areas like the legs can take up to an hour.
