Client Information
Now it’s easy to get rid of unwanted facial and body hair.  With GentleLASE, women and men of all skin types can enjoy hair reduction.  Treatment is quick, effective, and virtually painless.  So you don’t have to be embarrassed about unwanted hair anymore.

What is the GentleLASE Laser and why is it a safe treatment?
The GentleLASE System, a revolutionary long-pulse high-energy alexandrite laser emits a gentle beam of light that passes through the skin to the hair follicle where it is absorbed.  The skin is further protected during treatment by a cooling device where cryogen is sprayed onto the skin cooling the upper layers and providing clients with increased comfort.  The GentleLASE selectivity helps to protect the skin, while effectively treating the unwanted hair.

What conditions are treated with the laser?
Traditional hair removal techniques, such as shaving, plucking, waxing and depilatory creams provide only temporary relief.  Until now, the only recognized way to remove hair has been by electrolysis - which can be tedious, time-consuming and uncomfortable.  The GentleLASE System safely removes unwanted body hair without damaging the delicate pores and structures of the skin.  Facial and bikini areas are usually completed in less than ten minutes; legs, backs and larger areas can take longer.

How many treatments will I need?
Hair grows in cycles.  The number of treatments required depends upon your skin color, hair color and coarseness of the hair.  Everyone will require at least 4-6 treatments, as the process is only effective on hair during the early growing cycle.  Repeat sessions will be necessary to treat these follicles when they re-enter the early growth phase.
