LASER HAIR REMOVAL

The Epilaze Laser is FDA Cleared for permanent hair reduction on all skin types including light, fair-skinned, olive skin and African American skin. The Epilaze can remove/reduce dark coarse hair and dark fine hair. Blonde, white and Grey hair cannot be treated. What Can I Expect During the Treatment?  The Epilaze features built-in contact cooling that cools the treatment area before, during and after the treatment. Therefore, most patients experience little to no discomfort during the treatment. However, depending on the thickness of the hair, some patients may experience a warm sting as the laser energy penetrates into the hair follicle. What Areas on the Body Can Be Treated ? The Epilaze laser can quickly, safely and effectively remove and reduce unwanted body hairs on all areas of the body including the face, chin, upper lip, back, chest, legs and bikini area. How Many Treatments are Required ? Hair follicles in the "growth stage" respond to laser hair removal. Not all follicles are active at the same time. To achieve the maximum result most patients normally require 3-8 treatment sessions that spread out over a number of weeks.
