Elite Laser Hair Removal

Throw out your razors. Ditch the tweezers, creams, and waxing. And say farewell to ingrown hairs.

Laser hair removal lasts forever

With our Elite Laser Hair Removal, we apply gentle pulses of laser energy to permanently remove unwanted hair, from anywhere on the body. It works on all skin types and colors, for men and women.

Unlike electrolysis, which requires a needle to be inserted into each hair follicle, our laser system can be used to quickly treat large areas of the body. And although electrolysis can permanently remove hair, it is an extremely slow and painful method.

Our Elite Laser Hair Removal is a gentle method for removing unwanted hair without skin irritation, discoloration, or inflammation associated with other laser or hair removal methods.

Costs

Many of our patients say the investment in Elite Laser Hair Removal is well worth it, given the amount of money and time they spent on non-permanent hair removal techniques. Prices for Elite Laser Hair Removal vary, depending on the area of the body and number of treatments required. Typically, the bikini area can be treated for $250 per treatment, usually requiring 5 – 6 number of visits.

FAQs

We're here to answer your questions and concerns, just send us an email.

  • What can I expect during the treatment?

    Most patients experience a stinging, burning sensation when a laser pulse is delivered. To reduce discomfort, a cooling system automatically removes heat from the surface of your skin before, during and after the laser exposure. You will not need a general anesthesia or pain medication, but a topical anesthetic cream may be applied to sensitive areas.

  • How many treatments will be needed?

    The number of treatments required to obtain optimal results varies with hair density, hair color, skin types, the treatment area, and your hair growth cycle. The density of your hair and its growth cycle are affected by many factors, such as your age, ethnic background, hormones or medications. Laser treatments impair the growth capacity of hair follicles when they are in a growth cycle at the time of treatment. All hair follicles are not active at the same time. Depending upon the growth cycle of the follicles when the treatment is applied, several treatments with a few weeks in between may be required to obtain the desired effect.

  • What should I expect following the treatment?

    Once the treatment is complete, the area exposed to the laser is cleansed and you are free to return to your normal routine. Some patients may experience a slight reddening around hair follicles following the treatment, which typically disappears within a few minutes. It is always recommended to avoid sun exposure or to diligently use sunscreen following laser treatment. Hair follicles affected by the laser are lifeless and your body will attempt to cast them off over a period of time. It will seem that the hair continues to grow for one to two weeks after the procedure, but in fact these lifeless hairs will easily fall out.
