How does the laser treatment work?
The laser creates a beam of high-intensity light that penetrates deep into skin tissue where it delivers a controlled amount of targeted therapeutic heat. Our Hair Laser System's patented Cooling Device technology protects the upper layers of your skin with a cooling burst of cryogen.  Together, the long-pulse laser and cooling function offer optional treatment with minimal side effects.

What can I expect during treatment?
Treatment will take place in your practitioner's office.  You will wear safety eyewear to protect your eyes from the laser light.  Your practitioner will guide the laser to the treatment areas with a small handheld probe.  Each laser pulse may be preceded and followed by a short pulse of cooling spray.  A treatment could take as little as a few minutes to as long as an hour, depending on the area and condition being treated.

Does it hurt?
Some patients may feel a slight discomfort with the laser pulse, sometimes described as the snapping of a rubber band on the skin.  This discomfort resolves in several seconds and is minimized by Hair Laser System’s cooling function.  Be sure to discuss this with your practitioner.

How many treatment sessions will I need?
The number of sessions depends on the treatment you require and the condition of your skin.  For hair removal, multiple treatments are required, as the process is only effective when the hair follicle is in its active growth phase.  Other conditions may clear in as few as one treatment, but many factors impact the efficacy of individual laser treatments, including the severity of the condition being treated.
