GentleLase™ System for laser hair removal , is revolutionary long-pulse high energy alexandrite laser, emits a gentle beam of light that passes through the skin to the hair follicle where it is absorbed. The laser energy is transformed into heat, which destroys the hair follicle leaving the surrounding skin undamaged. The skin is further protected from the laser by a Dynamic Cooling Device. Cryogen is sprayed onto the skin cooling the upper layers and providing increased comfort. The GentleLase™ selectivity helps to protect the skin, while safely and effectively treating the unwanted hair.

What areas can be treated?

Almost anywhere where there is unwanted hair except around the eye area. We treat the upper and lower lip, cheeks, chin, neck, underarms, arms, fingers, abdomen, bikini area, buttocks, legs, chest, shoulders, upper back, lower back, feet, etc.

Can you treat any skin types/colors?

All skin types (colors) can be treated. All skin types need to have a consultation and a test area done before treatment. Sun avoidance for two to fours weeks before the procedure is required. The laser works by being absorbed by the pigment in hair; therefore gray or blond hair may not respond well while darker hair responds best.

How many treatments will I need?

Hair follicles grow and regrow in a cycle, and even the most sophisticated removal treatments can only disable those follicles that are active at the time of treatment. For complete hair removal, treatments must be repeated four to six times on eight to twelve week intervals, depending on the area treated, systematically disabling follicles as they go into their active/growing phase.

Does the treatment hurt?

Our laser is equipped with a patented "dynamic cooling device." This emits a spray of refrigerant before the laser pulse to help minimize discomfort. Treatment areas are very well tolerated and most patients experience little discomfort. The answer to the question for most is "No."

How long does a treatment take?

The time depends on the area treated. Facial and bikini areas are usually completed in less than ten minutes. Legs, back and larger areas can take longer. With the GentleLase™ Laser hair Removal system, time saved in hair removal is drastically reduced compared to any other hair removal system on the market.

Is there any special skin care needed before a treatment?

The treated areas should not be tweezed, waxed, nor should a depilatory cream be used for four weeks before a treatment session. Shaving may be done up to one to two days before the procedure. Also the skin should not be tanned or have extensive sun exposure for two to four weeks before the procedure.

How is the skin after the treatment?

Following the treatment the skin may become pink or red within 30 minutes of treatment, this may last from a few hours to a couple days and is relieved with the application of ice or cooling gels. Less common swelling may occur around the hair follicle and this can lasts a few hours. Ask about post laser treatment and take home recommendations to alleviate any discomfort and side effects.
