Advanced Laser Hair Removal

Men and women alike can now enjoy the benefits of laser hair removal without the annoying bumps that accompany shaving or waxing. If you are concerned about unwanted hair, you are probably a candidate for hair removal. Laser or light-based systems are a faster, easier alternative for hair removal. Now for all skin types.

How does a laser or light-based system remove hair?
The system emits a gentle beam of light that passes through the skin, to the hair follicle, where it is absorbed. Upon absorption, the energy is transformed into heat, which can disable the follicle, while leaving the surrounding tissue unharmed.

Is the treatment painful?
Most individuals describe the treatment as a series of slight pin pricks to the skin. The majority of patients tolerate this sensation without anesthetics. Additional comfort is provided by applying cooling to the area to be treated. Within about 30 minutes of treatment, the area may become pink or red; this may last from a few hours to one day.

How long does it take?
With this procedure numerous hairs are removed at the same time. The amount of time needed depends on the size of the area to be treated. The lip usually takes less than one minute; other areas, such as the leg, may take significantly longer.

How many treatments will be necessary?
Hair grows in cycles. The laser or pulsed light only affects hair when it is in its early growth phase. In fact, the system will disable follicles that are actively producing hair at the time of treatment. At any time, some hair follicles are dormant. Repeated sessions will be necessary to treat these follicles when they re-enter the growth phase.

"Before & After" results vary and the same results may not occur for all patients.

*To show a range of results from these new techniques, devices or lasers, leading physicians including Dr. Rosio have contributed actual patient images from their results, publications, and research studies for educational purposes, but by California rules must be labeled "models". Results vary and the same results may not occur for all patients.

Images included to show the beauty of flowers, children and adult human skin and form are generally obvious, but should not be construed as typical results of treatment.
