Many unethical claims are being made that Laser has been approved as permanent by the FDA. Laser has not been approved for permanance! Don't take our word for it, here is a link to the FDA page spelling out the facts. According to the FDA, Laser is not not permitted to advertise as permanent or painless (Laser is extremely painful). What attracts people to laser is it's supposed speed. Laser, however often requires 5-8 treatments spaced 4-5 weeks apart from each other.

Probe type electrolysis is the only safe method of permanent hair removal. "Consumers should be particularly careful about using and of the home electrolysis devices... Considerable skill and dexterity is required to perform electrolysis properly, and most people would probably be better off going to an expert instead of trying it themselves." (FDA Consumers) No. If permanent hair removal is desired, consider a combination of laser/light and electrolysis.

Electrology is the only dependable method of permanent hair removal. Temporary methods such as shaving, tweezing, depilatories, waxing and stringing require frequent time consuming maintenance. Skin irritations, ingrown hairs, discoloration, and scarring may result. These methods contribute to an increase in hair

Yes, it is permanent in most people after a series of 6-8 treatments. The majority of clients will see significant reduction of hair as well as finer and thinner hairs after a series of treatments. It depends on the goal of hair removal. If you just want a reduction in the number and coarseness of the hair, two to four treatments may be all you desire. If you want significant clearance of hair it will take the typical 6-8 treatments.

Laser hair removal is the latest trend for people wishing to rid themselves of unwanted body or facial hair. Using a laser to remove unwanted hair is touted as a procedure based on state-of-the-art technology, which is a fact. You've also heard...

No. There is absolutely no reputable scientific evidence that shows any other method of hair removal being as safe, effective and permanent as electrolysis for all hair colors and skin tones.

Electrolysis is a tedious, invasive and painful process that involves inserting a needle into each hair follicle and delivering an electrical charge to destroy them one at a time. Electrolysis often requires years of treatments at regular intervals. Electrolysis kills one hair follicle at a time. The LightSheer diode laser delivers light energy non-invasively to hundreds of hair follicles at a time.

Yes! When administered by a skilled, licensed electrologist, it is extremely effective and permanent. Once the hair root and follicle have been properly treated, regrowth cannot occur.

Electrology is a proven permanent method for hair removal. It is a hair-by-hair treatment that requires a needle to be inserted into the hair follicle. The needle emits both heat and electricity to disable the hair. Electrology requires regular treatments (at least every three weeks) for several years. With the laser, we can treat a much larger area (up to the size of a quarter) in a much shorter time period (6-8 months) without the discomfort of a needle.

Yes! This is also why you need at least four treatments. Hair grows in four different phases. The only hair that we can treat is that hair in the active growing phase. By using the laser for multiple treatments it ensures that we get every hair as it enters the growing phase. Hence permanent hair removal. No, ours is more advanced - the new generation. This is why it allows us to treat many more types of problems, as well as many different skin types.

The main difference between this technology and the traditional method known as electrolysis, is that lasers can treat multiple hair follicles at one time, no longer requiring the need to identify and probe each individual hair follicle, as is done with electrolysis. Laser hair removal is relatively new technology. The FDA has cleared our lasers for permanent hair reduction based on clinical studies with patients. Most people need an average of 3-5 treatments.

Electrolysis has the advantage of being the only permanent method.Even laser treatments are not effective on all hairs. Although lasers may reduce the number of hairs, the hairs are not always completely destroyed even after several treatments. Waxing and tweezing tend to strengthen the hair root, resulting in darker, thicker regrowth, which may often become ingrown.

Hair removal lasers have been in use since 1997 and the Food and Drug Administration approved it for "permanent reduction." They permanently disable hair follicles, however you have to remember that laser hair removal doesn't work in the same way on everyone and doesn't remove 100% of the hair in an area. Generally, this means that you shouldn't expect to remove every single hair from an area, although you can remove the majority of it.

Yes, hair follicles that have absorbed the energy of the light and have been destroyed will never grow hair again. Some hair growth may appear after 6-10 treatments but will be thinner, lighter in color and grow at a much slower rate than before. Additionally, throughout life, hormone fluctuations can cause hair follicles that have never been activated to become active. These "new" hairs can usually be treated with one or two spot area sessions.
