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!
