All areas of the body can be treated. The hairs must be brown or black to respond to treatment. Hairs with no pigment, such as blond, gray, or white will not respond to the treatment, therefore cannot be removed by the laser. 

With the other devices you are faced with messy ultrasound gel, painful treatments, and less effective with a higher risk of burns on tanned or dark skin.

No. The Laser in Surgery and Medicine Journal recently published a study stating that consumers who used a home hair removal device, found that the hair completely returned 12 weeks later and some even reported that they had a higher hair count than when they started. At home Hair Removal devices are all standard, battery operated devices and are NOT Lasers. For example, the Veet Infini’ Silk is a form of an IPL device (explained above). Other devices use a thermicon wire that targets only the top part of a hair shaft. Because the general public does not have certified formal training and education of hair removal, these home devices use very low settings to avoid misuse and adverse skin reactions. 

At Craft's Laser Clinic we use the Aerolase LightPod Neo: ND:YAG 650-microsecond Nd:YAG 1064nm

The new Gold-Standard for Hair removal, the Aerolase LightPod Neo is also FDA approved to improve Acne, Acne scarring, Redness, Melasma, Brown spots, broken capillaries on the face, Skin Rejuvenation, Skin tightening. The Aerolase LightPod Neo is uniquely safe, gentle, and effective for ALL skin types, including tanned skin.

The Aerolase LightPod Neo State of art, FDA approved, affordable, fast, and virtually painless aesthetic laser treatments. The Aerolase Neo 650-microsecond Nd:YAG 1064nm laser light is attracted to a combination of melanin, hemoglobin, and water within the skin tissue. The laser energy passes through the epidermis and selectively targets specific tissue structures without effecting the surrounding skin. These factors are what make the laser so versatile, efficient, safe, and gentle for ALL Fitzpatrick skin types.

No. Best to shave the area a night or two before your treatment.  The shorter the hairs are on the area of treatment, the more effective the treatment. For optimal results, shave or trim throughout your Laser Hair Removal treatment process. No tweezing, waxing or depilatory creams because if the hair is not in the follicle, the laser cannot find that hair to treat, therefore your treatment is less effective.

NOT AT  ALL!! Thanks to the clinical research and innovative product development by Aerolase, the industry now has a laser that performs Hair Removal without any skin cooling during the treatment and without contact to the skin by the handpiece – a major technological breakthrough! The majority of the studies that exist on Nd:YAG 1064 lasers exist on traditional long pulsed Nd:YAG 1064 lasers that deliver pulse widths of 3 to 30 milliseconds of fluence. These long pulsed Nd:YAG 1064 lasers are typically used with cooling systems to further reduce the incidence of epidermal damage. However, a 650 microsecond (μs) technique Nd:YAG 1064 laser has recently been found to have comparable results to longer pulse duration Nd:YAG 1064 lasers without skin cooling measures, and in return treatments are pain free! All consultations are free and can include a complimentary spot treatment so you can see for yourself how amazing this device is!

Yes it will! After just ONE treatment you will notice an improvement in razor bumps caused from shaving, ingrown hairs, and you will also notice improvement with any discoloration or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) caused from such conditions. Laser Hair Removal is a LIFE CHANGER!!!
