Laser Hair Removal
A recent scientific advance in medical laser
technology gives us a gentler, safer and
faster solution to the problem of unwanted
hair. It’s called thermokinetic selectivity
(TKS) and it’s only available on the
Cynosure™ Elite laser, used at Ageless
Health.
Our laser removes unwanted hair from the legs, arms, back, shoulders – even from underarms, the upper lip and the bikini area.
Laser therapy (with TKS) is a thoroughly tested, clinically-proven method of hair removal. Treatment is relatively quick, and removes unwanted body hair without damaging the surrounding skin.
Men and women who want to rediscover the ease, beauty and confidence of hair-free skin can now have the attractive appearance they’ve always desired.
How does the laser work?
The laser emits a gentle beam of energy that passes through the
skin to the hair follicle. The energy is then transformed into heat,
which damages the follicle permanently.
Why is TKS important?
TKS makes it possible for laser energy to “select” only hair
follicles, while sparing surrounding skin from damage. Laser
technology allows hundreds of hair follicles to be eliminated each
second, as opposed to electrolysis that selects only individual
follicles, which is a slower process and significantly more painful.
Is the treatment painful?
Most patients describe the treatment as a series of slight pin pricks
to the skin. The majority of patients tolerate this sensation without
requiring any topical anesthetics. The area may become pink or
red and last for a short while.
How many treatments are required?
Hair grows in cycles. The laser only affects hair when it is in
its early–growth phase. The laser will disable follicles that are
actively producing hair at the time of treatment. At any time,
some hair follicles are dormant. Repeat sessions will treat these
follicles when they re–enter the growth phase. For satisfactory
long lasting hair removal most patients require 4 to 6 treatments.
