Our technicians use top of the line 1064nm YAG laser, the safest and most effective lasers for removing unwanted hair on every skin tone. The laser emits a light designed to be absorbed by the melanin in the unwanted hairs and converts it into heat. This damages the hair follicles enough to halt or extremely delay future hair growth. During the actual session, you’ll likely experience a stinging sensation but no heat. While laser hair removal isn’t permanent, the results are thorough and long lasting. You’ll find that if any hairs grow back, they’ll be few and far between. We recommend an average of 6 to 8 treatments to achieve permanent hair reduction. Laser hair removal, however, doesn’t work on red, white, grey, or blonde hair.

Razor Bump Laser Treatments
Medically referred to as Pseudofolliculitis Barbae (PFB), razor bumps often feel and look like pimples, but they are caused by ingrown hairs.
When you shave, the tip of the remaining hair has a sharp point. As the hair continues to grow, particularly curly hair, the sharp tip can curve back and pierce the skin.
The body reacts to this condition just like it would to a common splinter, by creating an inflamed, pimple-like bump.
Fortunately, laser hair removal treatments can dramatically improve or completely eliminate these stubborn, unwanted razor bumps. During your consultation, you can discuss your options and treatment expectations with your laser technician.
What to Expect
At your initial consultation, a skilled laser technician will examine the area you would like to treat and evaluate your candidacy for the procedure. We will discuss your concerns and expectations, based on the color and thickness of your hair. Once you and your aesthetician have decided to proceed with treatment, you will be given detailed instructions on how to prepare for your session.
The procedure itself is relatively comfortable. Each pulse feels similar to a snap from a hot rubber band. There is no physical downtime following laser hair removal, but it is not uncommon to experience temporary, mild redness and possible swelling. After your session, you will be provided with standard post-treatment instructions, such as avoiding direct sunlight, saunas or other activities that could irritate the treatment area for a period of time.
