You pluck, shave and wax but your hair keeps growing back. Why not consider Laser Hair Removal? More than
800,000 people annually are now undergoing this highly successful and popular cosmetic procedure.

Laser Hair Removal is a non-invasive, in-office procedure. Treatment times range from 15 minutes to several hours,
depending on the size of the area(s) being treated. Low energy laser is directed at the skin and is absorbed by the
pigment in the hair follicles. This process heats up the hair shaft and permanently disables hair follicles from
reproducing. Most people experience more than an 80% reduction in hair growth after three treatments to an area.

Success rates for Laser Hair Removal vary depending on age, skin tone, hair location, stage of hair growth, and
laser type. The procedure only works while hair is actively growing, so multiple treatment sessions are required and
are typically spaced approximately 8 to 12 weeks apart. Once the primary treatments are completed, some people
may require “touch-up” treatments once every 6 to 12 months.

After the treatment, clients may experience some temporary redness and soreness similar to a mild sunburn, lasting
from a few minutes to a few days after the procedure, but can expect to return to normal activities immediately.

Although it is highly effective for reducing unwanted hair, Laser Hair Removal may not be for everyone. Individual
consultation sessions should be made prior to receiving any treatment. The cost of treatment varies depending
upon the area being treated, ranging from $150 to $500+ per treatment. According to the American Society of
Plastic Surgeons, the average cost for a laser treatment session is $429.

Schedule a consultation with a qualified Laser Hair Removal provider in your area to see if Laser Hair Removal is
right for you!
