Laser Hair Removal
Waxing, shaving and depilation of unwanted hair are time consuming and expensive. Lifetime
expenditures for these services far outweigh those for laser hair reduction treatments.
Using the latest in lasers, Esana Med Spa employs cutting-edge LightSheerŪ Diode technology
to reduce unwanted hair.
Laser therapy can effectively reduce dark hair growth on most skin types. It is most effective
on dark hair with light skin. As skin color and hair color contribute to the variation in efficacy,
a consultation is needed to determine how good a candidate you may be. It takes an average of seven
treatments to reduce the hair effectively but all individuals are different. Laser treatment is not
effective on red, gray, blond or white hair.
Pigmented hair needs to be present for the energy to be absorbed, therefore shaving is the
only way to manage the hair between treatments. There should not be any sun exposure of the
area being treated during the entire duration of treatment. Minor changes in your skin tone
can affect the absorption of energy and increase the risk of superficial burns. There are some
absolute contraindications to laser therapy including Accutane use within the past six months or
pregnancy. Some medications can also make your skin sensitive to light and may interfere with
the ability to treat you. A thorough medical history taken at the time of consultation will review
these.
