Laser Hair Removal

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.

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.

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.

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.*

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.

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.

Electrolysis is the only FDA-approved method for completely permanent hair removal. Laser hair removal is a semi-permanent procedure that will not get rid of hair forever, but it will minimize hair growth and produce finer hair that is harder to detect. This means you’ll be able to stop shaving your legs, armpits, bikini line, or wherever else you decide to have the treatment done.

Alternative short-term treatments like waxing are usually much more painful than laser hair removal. Experiences differ, but most people find it to be a very tolerable procedure that feels similar to tiny pinpricks. The sensation should lessen with each laser hair removal treatment. The technician can apply a topical anesthetic cream to help those who are particularly sensitive.

Laser hair removal can be permanent if the hair follicle is completely destroyed. But if the hair follicle is just damaged rather than destroyed, the hair will eventually grow back. After undergoing six to eight laser hair removal treatments, a person should be able to enjoy minimal hair regrowth for up to one year. If regrowth happens sometime between six to twelve months, touch-up treatments can be scheduled to manage the hair.

Laser hair removal is a safe procedure that most people find relatively painless. The hair removal process should not hurt, if done correctly. However, there are some minor side effects that could arise after hair removal, including redness, crusting of the skin, or slight changes in skin color on the treated area. All side effects are temporary and should not bring too much discomfort. If you have a qualified, experienced technician, side effects should be minimal.

Laser hair removal is perfectly safe for those looking to treat unwanted facial hair. Many men and women utilize laser hair removal to get rid of hair on the upper lip, eyebrows, chin, or sideburns. This is a safe and convenient way to avoid the razor bumps and irritation that may come with shaving facial hair.
