PERMANENT HAIR REDUCTION - INTENSE PULSED LIGHT
Unisghtly and unwanted body and facial hair is something that almost everyone struggles with. Many people have tried shaving, depilatories. Others have chosen tedious and painful electrolysis. If you have been looking for a comfortable, safe and effective way to lose hair you are in luck! Pines Total Health offers 'Intense Pulsed Light' to remove and reduce unwanted hair from the face, legs, back, arms, underarms and chest forever.
WHAT IS INVOLVED WITH THIS PERMANENT HAIR REDUCTION PROCEDURE? A gentle flash of intense light is quickly pulsed over the treatment area every three seconds until the area has received an adequate dosage of light energy. If the hair contains a significant amount of brown or black melanin pigment and the hair follicle is in the active growth phase, the treatment will permanently disable a certain percentage of the hair follicles in the area.Treatments must be repeated every 6-8 weeks until the majority of the hair follicles in the area have been removed.
HOW INTENSE PULSED LIGHT WORKS: Intense pulsed light uses a spectrum of light waves to target melanin pigmentation in the hair while leaving the surrounding skin unaffected. Using this cutting edge technology, intense pulsed light is able to safely, effectively and permanently reduce hair growth with little to no down time. Our patients often return to their everyday responsibilities immediately following treatment.
COMFORT & SAFETY OF INTENSE PULSED LIGHT PERMANENT HAIR REDUCTION: To provide you with the most comfortable treatments, Pines Total Health uses an intense pulsed light system that incorporates an integrated cooling chiller tip. This comfortable feature cools the skin surface minimizing any possible discomfort during pulse. By cooling the skin surface, we can adjust the proper amount of light energy to penetrate and destroy the hair without any discomfort.
- 4-10 treatments at 6-8 week intervals are generally required.
- Only hairs in the active growth phase can be treated.
WHAT TO EXPECT: During your first visit you will be asked to fill out a medical history form. The experts in our office will discuss with you a treatment plan, expected outcomes and possible complications so you can make a proper, informed decision. Upon completion of the free initial consultation we will perform a spot test to determine the most efficient power level for your skin type and condition. Once the spot test is complete a treatment plan will be implemented, and you will be on your way to no more unsightly, unwanted hair.
