Removing unwanted hair requires diligent shaving, waxing, or plucking, which can irritate the skin and deliver poor results. Laser hair removal offers a permanent reduction in unwanted hair after just a few treatments. The Gentlelase hair reduction system is designed for both patient comfort and superior results on any part of the body. During Gentlelase treatment, the top layer of the skin is cooled just before laser light is applied, reducing discomfort during and after the procedure. You may also choose to receive a topical numbing agent prior to treatment to further increase your comfort. Six to eight initial treatments spaced four to six weeks apart are required for most patients. Biannual touch-ups will maintain your results. Patients report an 80-90% reduction in unwanted hair with minor side effects such as redness and swelling abating within one to three days.
