Q. How does the laser work?

A. The GentleLASE Plus Alexandrite laser allows pulses of true laser heat and light to quickly clear away unwanted hair by targeting melanin, the substance which gives hair its color. The wavelength of the laser effectively impairs the ability of the hair follicle to grow again.

 

Q. How many treatments are necessary, and how long does it take?

A. Because each person's body chemistry and hair growth pattern is unique, it can't be predicted exactly how many treatments will be needed for complete eradication. However, in most cases the amount of hair can be greatly reduced, if not eradicated, in an average of 6 treatments. Treatments are usually scheduled 4-6 weeks apart, and may take as little as 15 minutes for a small area (lip, chin) or up to an hour for larger areas (back, full legs).

 

Q. Does it hurt?

A. While laser hair removal is not completely sensation-free, the vast majority of our clients report very little discomfort. There is very little residual redness, and makeup, lotions, etc. can be applied immediately after the treatment.

 

Q. How can I be sure laser hair removal is safe and effective?   

A. The United States Food and Drug Administration has approved lasers as a safe, effective method of achieving permanent hair reduction/removal. Epicure is also a Better Business Accredited business with an A+ rating.

 

Q. Is it affordable?

A. Yes! For the price of a couple of years or less of temporary removal methods, excess hair can be gone forever.   The boost in self-confidence and self-esteem is priceless, and it's a real time-saver, too!
