Laser Hair Removal
Anyone who spends time shaving or waxing understands the desire for permanent hair removal.
Forget about outdated methods of hair removal and step into the new millennium!
Laser hair removal has quickly become the gold standard for permanent reduction in body hair. Light Care Medical Spa offers the revolutionary GentleLase plus and GentleYag lasers for safe, fast and effective reduction of unwanted hair from any area of the body.
How Laser Hair Removal Works
The GentleLASE plus (for lighter skin tones) and GentleYAG (for dark skin tones) advanced long-pulse, high-energy lasers emit a beam of light that passes through the skin into the hair follicles. The light is absorbed by the melanin (pigment) in the hair, which creates heat at the cellular level. This damages the blood supply to the follicles, preventing them from producing hair in the future. A dynamic cooling device protects the skin and helps make the treatment more comfortable. After treatment, the remaining hair shaft sheds leaving smooth skin for up to a month. With each treatment, less hair returns and the hair that does return is finer. This hair is treated at the next session.
What Are The Benefits of Laser Hair Removal?
-Lasers can treat large surface areas in a short time span.
-The entire area is treated at each session, leaving smooth, clean, hair-free skin.
-Between treatments you don't even think about hair, because there is NO HAIR!
-If you are prone to razor burn, shaving bumps or ingrown hairs, Laser treatments will actually improve these areas.
-Less expensive over the long than waxing or electrolysis because of its permanent effects.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
The number of sessions depends on several individual factors including area of the body, hair color, skin color and the hair growth cycle, which is affected by things like diet, and hormone balance. Six to eight treatments are the average, and there is no way to tell beforehand exactly how many treatments an individual will require. Everyone will require at least 3-4 treatments, with repeat sessions being necessary every 6-8 weeks. Proper timing of treatments is essential for good results.
Who are candidates for treatment?
Men, women and children have been successfully treated. Treatments are customized according to hair color, texture and location on the body. Nearly all hair colors - black, brown and red - can be treated. The administration is effective on all skin types, including dark-skinned individuals of all ethnic origins. Ask to schedule a free consultation to determine what results you can expect.
Age Spot Removal
Freckles, moles and age spots are all pigmented skin spots. The same high energy GentleLASE plus laser can be used to target and remove the pigment in these types of spots. The pigment absorbs the laser light and heats up enough that it breaks down. This process may require two or three treatments, which will return that area to a more neutral skin tone.
