Laser Hair Removal


A recent scientific advance in medical laser technology gives us a gentler, safer and faster solution to the problem of unwanted hair. It is called Thermokinetic Selectivity, or TKS and it is only available in the Apogee type of laser used at our facility. Apogee laser therapy (with TKS) is a thoroughly tested, clinically-proven method of hair removal. TKS makes it possible for laser energy to "select" only hair follicles without damaging the surround skin.

We are pleased to offer the most recent advance in laser treatment for anyone desiring a comfortable, effective way to remove unwanted hair. Men and women who want to rediscover the ease, beauty and confidence of hair-free skin can now have the attractive appearance they have always desired.

HOW MANY TREATMENTS ARE REQUIRED?

Hair grows in cycles. The laser only affects hair when it is in its early growth phase. The laser will disable follicles that are actively producing hair at the time of treatment. At any time, some follicles are dormant. Repeated sessions will be necessary to treat these follicles when they re-enter the growth phase. In as little as three to four treatments, our laser removes unwanted hair from the legs, arms, back, shoulders, underarms, face and bikini area.

HOW DO I KNOW IF I AM A CANDIDATE FOR LASER HAIR REMOVAL?

Nearly everyone is a candidate for hair removal. The most dramatic results occur for patients with dark hair and light skin, but TKS makes it possible for patients with darker skin to receive benefit from the procedure. Our laser certified RN is available for complimentary consultations to evaluate eligibility for treatment.
