The simple answer is “Yes”. Laser hair removal is the #1 non-invasive cosmetic procedure performed each year, with the lowest risk of adverse reaction. When performed by trained practitioners, side effects from laser hair removal are very uncommon.
Each body area can be completed in 20 minutes or less. Your appointment time will depend on how many areas we are treating that day. Because there is no down time with laser hair removal, you can easily get your treatment on your lunch break and return to work immediately. We take care to make sure that we give you a thorough treatment, and that you get in and out of our clinics as efficiently as possible so you can get back to your busy schedule.
We can treat all skin colors and hair types. Laser hair removal is less effective on clients with red, blonde or grey hair, so we recommend that you come in for a consultation so that we can give you an accurate idea of what results you can expect.
Hair follicles transition through active and dormant stages and only about 30-50% of your hair is actively growing at any given time. With each treatment, we will cover the entire skin surface, but only those follicles that are “active” will be impacted. When a follicle is dormant, the laser light cannot be absorbed, and the follicle is left undamaged. We customize your treatment plan to ensure that we are matching your hair growth cycles and ensuring the best results possible for you.
The average number of treatments needed to achieve 70-90% permanent hair removal is about 8-12. This number varies from person to person and among body parts. Our membership programs are structured specifically so that you can receive all of the treatments you need to reach your full result, plus any touch-ups necessary to catch those stray hairs.
Elase Spas uses laser hair removal equipment from both Cynosure and Syneron/Candela, the two largest laser manufacturers in the world. In fact, Elase is a “national” account with these companies because we purchase so many lasers in order to always ensure that our clients are being treated with the newest technologies. Elase uses ND:YAG, Alexandrite and Multi-Plex technologies to ensure optimal results.
Our propriety treatment protocols ensure the highest amount of hair reduction that a client can achieve. Our processes have been developed over 10 years of fine-tuning and evaluating results to ensure you get the very best treatment possible. Because of our proprietary treatment protocols and our advanced laser technology, we are able to treat all skin colors.*
