Hair Removal
Traditional hair removal techniques, such as shaving, plucking, waxing, and depilatory creams provide only temporary relief. Until now, the only recognized way to remove hair permanently has been by electrolysis, which can be tedious, time-consuming and uncomfortable. Other hair removal lasers could not always be used effectively on well-tanned or dark skin. The GentleYAG laser system from Candela corp. that LIGHT TOUCH LASER CARE uses can uniquely remove unwanted body hair on all skin types without damaging the delicate pores and structures of the skin.
Thanks to this advanced technology, laser hair removal is now available to everyone.
How our laser works
Laser technology has been used for many years for a variety of medical and cosmetic procedures. The technology that we uses is a revolutionary long-pulse high-energy ND:YAG laser that 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 unaffected. The skin is further protected during treatment by a Dynamic Cooling Device (DCD), where cryogen is sprayed onto the skin, cooling the upper layers and providing patients with increased comfort.
Our laser selectively helps to protect the skin, while effectively treating the unwanted hair.
Treatment
For a hair removal treatment, multiple sessions (9 sessions as average) are required as the process is only effective when the hair follicle is in its active growth phase. The number of sessions may vary with each individual and area of the body (from 6 weeks to 12 weeks apart).
Some patients may feel discomfort. You may feel a tingling or stinging sensation during the laser session but most people tolerate the procedure well. The discomfort resolves in several seconds and is minimized by the laser cooling spray. Following your session, you may experience a sunburn type sensation in the treated area for few hours.
