Laser Hair Reduction

Laser hair removal is a medical procedure that uses a concentrated beam of light to remove unwanted hair.
During laser hair removal, a laser emits a light that is absorbed by the pigment melanin in the hair. The light energy is converted to heat, which damages the tube-shaped sacs within the skin hair follicles that produce hairs. This damage inhibits or delays future hair growth.

How to prepare?

  • Staying out of the sun. Follow your doctor’s advice for avoiding sun exposure before and after treatment. Whenever you go out, apply a broad-spectrum, SPF50 sunscreen.
  • Lightening your skin. Avoid any sunless skin creams that darken your skin. Your doctor might also prescribe a skin bleaching cream if you have a recent tan or darker skin.
  • Avoiding other hair removal methods. Plucking, waxing, and electrolysis can disturb the hair follicle and should be avoided at least four weeks before treatment.
  • Shaving treatment area. Trimming and shaving are recommended the day before laser treatment. It removes hair above the skin which can result in surface skin damage from burnt hairs, but it leaves the hair shaft intact below the surface.

Photo Rejuvenation

IPL stands for “intense pulsed light.” During an IPL photo rejuvenation, a light-emitting device is precisely calibrated to target specific skin concerns or to deliver comprehensive full-face rejuvenation. When the pulses of light emitted by this device are absorbed by the melanin (pigment) and red blood cells in the skin, heat is generated. This heat emulates a superficial injury, but unlike a burn, it won’t cause any lasting damage. The IPL device is designed to activate the skin’s natural healing processes without actually harming delicate dermal tissue.

  • Enlarged pores and acne
