Laser Hair Removal

Our Sciton lasers bring a new approach to laser hair removal. We have the ability to treat all skin types and all skin colors. Tanned skin can be treated safely, but always inform your consultant if you have been tanning, using tanning products, or exposed to sun within the last three weeks of your treatment. Your treatment regimen can be adjusted accordingly to give you the safest, most effective experience.

The Sciton lasers selectively targets your hair follicles and heats them with infrared energy. The laser beam treats many hairs at once, making treatment of large areas practical. The lasers employ a unique computer-guided scanning system that automates the treatment ensuring that your skin is rapidly and evenly treated. The computer sets the parameters and places the beam in an optimum pattern for your skin to ensure a safe, fast, effective experience.

Mild redness and warmth may be present in the area treated; however we can apply Kool-Down (aloe vera and lidocaine4%) to the area for immediate relief. The redness usually subsides within the hour if present. Keep the area clean, use sunscreen when outdoors on effected area, and follow given instructions for post treatment.

There are three phases of hair growth-anagen, catagen and telogen. Only hairs in the active growth stage,anagen, can be treated successfully. You will need to be treated at least 6 times at intervals of 4-6 weeks apart. During this period you may shave, but cannot bleach, pluck, wax, tweeze, or thread because there must be a dark follicle to target.
