Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal treatments target and destroy the hair cells/melanin responsible for hair growth without damaging the surrounding skin.

Treatment lasts anywhere between 20–60 minutes, depending on the area treated.

Treatments are virtually painless, but some patients have mentioned feeling tingling or the snapping of a rubber band. We use a cooling device and cooling gel to minimize your discomfort.

With our Elite IQ technology, we can safely treat all skin types. The ideal candidate is anyone who wishes to reduce unwanted hair on their face and body.

There is generally no downtime as most people return to their daily activities. Some individuals may notice some redness and mild swelling in the treated area. These effects usually resolve within 1–3 days.

Everyone is different. A series of 6–10 sessions may be recommended for optimal results, but this can vary from person to person. This depends on the growth of the hair and the body part that is treated.

Yes. The Elite IQ uses technology that’s safe for all skin tones, even darker ones. (Using an ND:YAG laser on dark skin tones)
