HAIR REMOVAL SERVICE PALM SPRINGS, CA

Lasers are useful for removing unwanted hair from the body.

The laser emits an invisible light which penetrates the skin without damaging it. At the base of the hair follicle, the light absorbed by the pigment is converted

into heat. This heat eliminates the follicle.

Precision Lasers & Electrolysis

Lasers are designed to target dark, coarse hairs while leaving the surrounding lighter hair undamaged.

Our Hair Removal technicians are fast

Each laser machine has different speeds to meet the required purpose-namely: removing unwanted hair.  The laser can treat an area of approximately the

size of a dime to a quarter each second. Small areas (such as the upper lip) can be treated in less than a minute, and large areas (such as the back or legs)

may take up to an hour.

Is Laser Hair Removal Permanent?

Lasers require more treatments over the quadrant of the area in less time. They require three or more treatments to permanently remove the unwanted

hair.  The FDA only approves electrolysis as permanent; however new laser technology is able to merely reduce hair.

How to Prepare for Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is a medical procedure that requires medical training. The State of California only allows a Registered Nurse, Nurse Practitioner, Physician

Assistant, or Medical Doctor to provide treatments. This is to ensure that the patient is being served by a medically-qualified person, who has been trained in

the basic medical standards. A degree and proper licensing does not make them automatically qualified; as further training is necessary to prevent potential

injury.

What to Expect During Laser Hair Removal

One hour prior to treatment, it is important to apply numbing cream to sensitive areas targeted for treatment.

What you need to know to Maximize Hair Removal Results

The laser hair removal machine is designed to be used on people with dark hair. The lighter the skin and darker the hair, the more likely that the hair will not

return. The darker the skin and the darker the hair, the lower the frequency; therefore more treatments are often required. The technology currently used by

laser hair removal machines is not effective on white, red, and blond hair. In such cases, the patient must resort to electrolysis for permanent removal.

How It Works

The pulse light from the laser hair removal machine uses an intense pulse light, that penetrates the top layer of the skin. It is designed to damage the root of

the hair plexus. Damage to the hair plexus is then ejected from the skin by the body as a way of naturally protecting the body from infection. The hair plexus

has a specialized nerve receptor that can create stimulation and sensation.

Stimulants

When a person is on stimulants prior to treatment, it can make these specialized nerve receptors hyper-vigilant- thereby increasing the pain. This sometimes

makes the treatment for the patient painful, which can discourage future treatments. It is therefore strongly encouraged to refrain from using stimulants.

Sunscreen

It is important to protect the skin after treatment while the skin while it is rejuvenating after treatment. Avoid direct sun (during activities like gardening, sun

tanning, hiking, and anything that involves high-level exposures to ultraviolet sun rays.  It can damage the skin and increase the likelihood of cancer.
