Am I suitable for laser hair removal?
Most people, male and female, are suitable candidates for laser hair removal.

Who will perform my treatment?
All treatments at Michigan Laser Centers are preformed by registered nurses and laser technicians.

What does it feel like?
The feel of the laser on the skin has been described in many different ways. Some say it feels like a pinch on the skin, others say it feels like a mild rubber band snap.

How many treatments will I need?
Interestingly, not all hairs are actively growing at the same time. They actually go through three distinct phases: growing, resting and dying off. The laser treatment works by disabling hair that is principally in the active growth phase at the time of treatment. On average, most clients are happy with 6 treatments, however since other hairs will enter this active growth phase at different times, additional treatments may be necessary to disable all hair follicles in a given area. Treatments are usually given in intervals of 6-12 weeks, depending on the particular area of the body being treated and the density of the hair in that area. Our staff will work with you to develop the best treatment program during your consultation.

Are there any side effects?
Several minutes after treatment, localized slight swelling and redness may be present in the treated area for up to 8 hours. The treatment area any fell tender of warm, similar to mild sunburn. Side effects can be minimized by avoiding sun exposure for 4 weeks prior to and during treatment.

Can I still remove hair between treatments?
You may shave, use a depilatory cream or trim hairs. However, you should not use waxing, electrolysis or plucking or any method that removes the hair from the follicles.

How Laser Hair Removal Works?



The laser produces a beam of highly concentrated light that which is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair follicles.



Prior to the procedure, the treatment area is shaved.



During the procedure the upper layer of the skin is compressed and cooled with special cooling hand piece.



This feature protects skin and makes the procedure more effective. Then the laser pulses for a fraction of a second, just long enough to heat up the hair and disable the follicle's ability to re grow.

The result...hair removal that lasts!
