Alexandrite laser hair removal

Laser hair removal with CANDELLA Alexandrite

Traditional hair removal techniques, such as shaving, waxing and using hair removal cream, only offer temporary results.

The Laser method

The laser produces high energy pulses. It emits a gentle beam of light that penetrates the skin and is absorbed by the melanin of the hair follicle, leaving the surrounding skin unaffected.

In general, treatment includes:

Treatment time is from 10 minutes to 1 hour and depends on the treatment area.
The patient can return home immediately after the treatment
The treatment area may turn pink or slightly red within about 30 minutes of the treatment and this may last from a few hours to a twenty-four hour period. These symptoms can be reduced by applying ice or moisturizing creams to the area.
After the treatment the skin becomes velvety and without any sign of irritation.

How many treatments will be needed?

Hair grows in cycles. The number of treatments depends on skin color, hair color and thickness. All require at least 2-3 visits as treatments are effective when the hair is in the growth phase (anagen phase)

Repeated treatments will be needed to destroy the hairs when they are in their anagen phase to be effectively destroyed.
