The 1064 nm wavelength Nd:Yag laser is the perfect tool for permanent laser hair removal. This powerful treatment can remove hair permanently in six sessions. The target areas for this laser are the upper lip, chin, underarms and bikini line. Our Certified Laser Technician Renee Burdon is happy to meet for a free consultation regarding any of our laser hair removal procedures.
How long does it take?
The 1064 nm Nd:Yag laser takes between 10 minutes for small areas such as the upper lip to 30 minutes for larger areas such as the under arm and bikini line.
Does it hurt?
The feeling is of a heat sensation akin to the snapping of a small rubber band against the skin. The feeling is short and sharp as the intensed pulse of light shines but quickly resolves. Patients tolerate the discomfort very well.
How many sessions are required?
Nd:Yag laser hair removal takes an average of 6 sessions, separated by 6 weeks each. This is because laser hair removal only works on growing hair and only a fraction of the hairs are growing at any one time. The hair growth cycle (anagen) takes 6 weeks to change to a different set of hairs, therefore you must wait 6 weeks between treatments. Annual touch-ups are sometimes required to eliminate a small fraction of hair that may regrow, and we offer these for free for a 12 month period to our clients from the date of the first laser procedure.
How long does it take to see results?
Partial hair removal occurs after each of the 6 sessions. Only dark hair is removable with laser. Blond, gray or red hair will not absorb laser light and therefore will not be removed with Nd:Yag lasers.
What will my skin look like immediately post-treatment?
The small areas where the Prowave 770 has removed the hair will be red and sore in a minor fashion for one day, requiring no treatment or covering.
How much does it cost?
Laser hair removal is priced per session, and usually 6 sessions are required for permanent hair removal.
