LASER HAIR REMOVAL

One of the main benefits of the treatment with the Medlite laser is that it offers a very comfortable treatment. This is due largely to the fact that the Medlite does not work by heating the skin. The sensation can be described more as a "tingling".  Anesthesia is generally not necessary for treatment with this laser.

Treatment with this laser is very fast. Large body areas, including the legs and back can generally be treated in minutes.

Any skin area can be treated with this laser including the face, underarms, legs, back, chest and bikini line.

Every hair on your body goes through three basic stages: growth, rest and hair loss. These phases repeatedly cycle, and the length of each cycle varies according to the location, and your own body chemistry. The laser is most effective on hair when it is in the growth phase. Due to the fact that at an given time only about one third of your hair is in the growth phase, you will need to have several treatments to obtain maximum results.  This is a factor for all laser hair removal methods.

Eventually some of the hair will grow back. Today there is no laser that will permanently remove 100% of unwanted hair. You should think of using the laser as a hair management technique. The safety, effectiveness, speed and comfort of the Medlite make it the ideal laser for this procedure.

The Medlite laser can treat any skin type, even tanned skin, and works best on darker hair colours. Because the laser light is absorbed by the pigment or color in the hair, it has minimal effect on white or blond hair.

You may notice that some of your hair may have turned white after treatment. This will slough off naturally 2-3 days later, but you may choose to manually remove it with a razor if you wish. Your skin my be red for a brief period of time after the treatment. You may experience minimal itching for 12 hours. You can immediately return to your normal activities.
