Laser Hair Removal

Whether we like to admit it or not, just about everyone has unwanted hair somewhere on their body. Unfortunately, traditional hair removal methods can be time consuming, woefully painful and expensive over time. Shaving lasts just a day or so, while waxing could last a couple of weeks. However, none of these last forever—and therein lies the true beauty of laser hair removal.

Transformations MedSpa can remove unwanted hair on virtually any body area while offering patients superior results to the widest variety of skin types possible. Our facility utilizes the Lumenis LightSheer Diode Laser System. The LightSheer system offers higher power in both short and very long (400 ms) pulses that allows for safe and effective treatment of all skin types, including tanned skin and the broadest range of hair colors, diameters and depths.

How does it work?

To eliminate hair, the laser emits gentle pulses of energy that pass through the skin to the hair follicle. This energy is then absorbed into the hair follicle to destroy it so that hair can never grow there again.

Am I a viable candidate for laser hair removal?

Laser hair removal can be applied to all areas of the body and on all types of skin (even tanned or dark skin).

Does it hurt?

The treatment causes only minimal discomfort. Patients often say it feels similar to the snap of a rubber band. Slight redness or localized swelling can occasionally occur, but this usually subsides within the first 24 hours after treatment.

How many treatments are required?

Typically patients will see results in 4 – 6 treatments, though this number will vary based upon skin tone, hair color and several other factors. Your doctor or practitioner will talk to you about variables that may affect your individual results.
