Laser Hair Removal

Say Good-Bye to plucking, waxing, shaving, depilatories and electrolysis. They're painful, messy, & costly in the long run.  Most of all, they're temporary! 

Laser Hair Removal permanently reduces unwanted hair once and for all.

No "one" laser is ideal for all skin and hair types. At SkinRenewKs we have the best clinical lasers to deliver you, individually, the optimum results. For light skin and no recent sun exposure, we use our Cynosure Alexandrite, the most clinically effective laser for hair removal. If your skin is dark or tanned, we use our Cynosure Alexandrite and Nd: YAG lasers.

Unlike most other laser centers, we don't treat all clients with one type of laser which may be ineffective and in many cases dangerous. With several gold-standard technologies, our experienced staff will choose the safest and most effective laser for you individually. 

Hair removal packages:

• UPPER LIP, CHIN AREA 
• BIKINI AREA 
• UNDER ARMS

Frequently Asked Questions

How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?

The light emitted from the laser is absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicles, destroying the follicle. At the same time, the chilled laser hand piece and our external cooling devices protect the skin surface, allowing for safe and effective treatment of all skin types, with little risk of side effects.

Hair grows in three distinct cycles. First, the active or growth cycle (anagen); next, the dormant cycle (catagen) and, finally, the fall-out or shedding cycle (telogen). Since melanin is only produced in the growth phase of the hair, the laser must target the hair follicle during this cycle. At any given time, 20-40% of the hair in a particular area may be in a growth phase. Therefore, more than one treatment needs to be scheduled, preferably at 4-8 week intervals. With multiple treatments we can ensure that all hair follicles are being disabled. 

What Should I Expect?

Because the laser targets hairs that are in an actively growing phase, several treatments may be required to eliminate any new hairs as they come into a growth phase. Treatments are spaced four to eight weeks apart depending on the body area and can take from 5 minutes (the upper lip) to 45 minutes (back or legs). 

The area needs to be shaved prior to being treated. Waxing, bleaching, tweezing, or any other method that removes the root of the hair must be discontinued at least two weeks prior to treatment. Since the laser targets the root of the hair, it must be present for the treatment to be effective.

When is the Best Time for Treatment? What about Sun Exposure?

The laser-treated areas will be more sun-sensitive for a few weeks, so a broad-spectrum sunscreen is recommended at all times. Any areas that will be exposed to the sun regularly such as the face or legs should be treated in the fall, winter or spring, rather than the summer. 

Do you Offer Complimentary Consultations?

Yes, we believe that a consultation is important for any client considering laser hair removal. We will perform a test spot so the client can see how the laser feels and we can answer any questions so the client can better understand what the laser can do. We can also determine if you are a good candidate for laser before you commit to any treatment. However, some people would like the idea of receiving treatment the same day as a consultation. If you are a good candidate for laser hair removal, a treatment can be performed the same day

Is Laser Hair Removal Painful?

While everyone’s pain tolerance is different, the majority of clients do not think it is painful. Our patients report that treatment with our lasers is much more comfortable than other lasers and far more comfortable than waxing. Because the lasers we use have a large spot size, treatments are very quick. Any discomfort one experiences is over very quickly.

Do you Use Topical Numbing Preparations?

Our lasers utilize state of the art cooling systems. In most cases, treatment causes only minimal discomfort and numbing preparations are not required. If a client is more sensitive, we can prescribe a topical numbing cream to be applied to the area prior to treatment.

What are the Risks Involved with Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is a 'lunch time' procedure. There is no recovery or down time. Patients can return to their normal activities immediately. Our lasers do not injure the dermis so the risks are extremely low. As with any procedure, you will be given an informed consent to read over that explains all the possible risks. Sun exposure or tanning beds and certain medications could possibly make the skin more sensitive to the thermal energy of the laser.
