If you have unwanted hair, permanent laser hair removal may be for you.

One of the beautiful things about laser is, you don’t have to grow your hair out and once you start treating you many never have to shave that area again.  Who wouldn’t love that?

laser hair removal procedure is non-invasive treatment that offers dramatic and permanent results after only a few treatments. What’s more, it won’t slow down your busy lifestyle with unpleasant side effects.

At Pelage we offer use one of the best laser hair removal devices on the market. Cynosure’s Apogee Elite. This laser technology is one of the safest and most effective laser hair removal machines available.

Unlike rival devices, the Apogee Elite contains not one, but two laser systems that target your hair and not your skin.  And what’s more, the Apogee Elite combines a state-of-the-art device that uses cool air to further reduce any discomfort. There’s nothing the Apogee Elite can’t do. By providing two different wavelengths, the Apogee Elite laser can be used to treat even the most stubborn cases, including clients with darker skin and coarse hair. And it does so without causing undue pain or unpleasant skin changes and scarring.

Cynosure’s Apogee Elite laser ensures you’ll stay comfortable during your laser hair removal session. It does so through its patented SmartCool system.  The SmartCool system works together with the laser to minimize client discomfort during treatment.

When choosing a company to do your laser hair removal, you need to do more than just compare prices. The most important question is “what kind of laser they have.” Because there are many devices on the market that are not actually lasers at all they are flash lamps. These devices are perfect for smaller companies that don’t have the capitol to invest in some of the better devices like Cynosure Apogee ..

These devises are much cheaper and certainly don’t have the same outcome.

There is a bit of SCIENCE and DNA behind how many treatments and how often you will have to have them.

Here is the SCIENCE

The laser scans over the skin targeting pigmented hair. The resting hair will pop out of the skin, while the anagen “growing hair “is destroyed. This hair will stay in place until it releases and works its way to the surface (approx. 2-3 weeks).  You will have barren period of no hair.

Dormant hair will return to the anagen phase and we can treat again. The amount of treatments needed depends on the area on the body we are treating.

DNA factors in with how many hairs you have in each follicle. Your genetics will play a role in the amount of cycles we will be treating.  look around in your family tree. Did grandma have hair on her chin? Did Grandpa have a hairy back?

Medical conditions like Poly Cystic Ovary Disease or other hormonal imbalances can cause hair to grow excessively.

The Laser specialist at Pelage will be able to help you through the mountain of variables and be able to guide you along the way.
