Laser Hair Removal
How does diode laser work?
Diode laser is the most effective of all laser wavelengths for hair removal. The laser eliminates unwanted hair by emitting a beam of light on to the skin. Passing harmlessly through the skin, the light targets the pigment ( melanin) within the hair follicle and hair shaft. As the follicles absorb this laser energy, they are disabled and unable to produce new hair.
How many treatments will I need?
The laser only triggers hairs that are principally in their active growth phase at the time of treatment. It usually involves 6-8 treatments. Body treatments are done at 6-8 week intervals while facial treatments are done every 4-6. Additional maintenance sessions may be required after that. In some situations a significant partial reduction in hair density and reduction in hair shaft thickness after one or only a few treatments may be all that is desired.
What should I expect after treatment?
The area treated will appear slightly red, puffy and feel like a mild sunburn. Within the next 2-4 weeks the hair treated will begin to fall out. Exfoliation can be done after 48 hours to help this process.
Does it hurt?

Radio Frequency
What does Radio Frequency do? (Body Contouring/Cellulite Reduction)
Radio Frequency (RF) is a specialized laser treatment that applies deep dermal heating to fat bundles to bring about new collagen formation and skin remodeling. Stimulating enhanced blood circulation, the procedure also helps drain trapped fatty deposits and toxins. Finally its thermal activity serves to shrink fat cells.
Facial tightening and non-surgical face lift
Radio frequency therapy can bring back that fresh appearance. Non invasively RF tightens loose skin by heating the inner layer of the dermis. Heat will stimulate the natural production of new collagen. As a result, the skin will feel more plump and tight and leave you with a smoother feel. This process takes approximately 3-5 months to see full benefits.
How many treatments will I need?
Depending on the result you would like to achieve, we recommend a series of 6 body/face treatments. These treatments can be done in 1 or 2 week intervals
Is RF painful?
No. RF is a comfortable treatment. The area being treated is heated by the laser head and specific movements manipulate the targeted tissues in a massaging motion.
