We offer laser hair removal, a non-invasive, FDA-approved method to permanently reduce or eliminate undesired hair from all parts of the body. The treatment safely eliminates hundreds of unwanted hair follicles in minutes using highly concentrated light to penetrate those follicles and inhibit future hair growth. Unlike many other treatment methods, laser treatment leaves your skin smoother and softer. Multiple treatments are required. Patients can expect up to 85% hair reduction.
Your Radiance technician will consult with you on the expected results. Light-skinned and dark-haired individuals are the best combination of candidates for this procedure. The process feels like a rubber band snapped against the skin – a tolerable stinging sensation. Particular areas of the body can be more sensitive, such as the underarms, bikini, and upper lip. Each person’s pain tolerance can vary. Cold compresses or anesthetic creams can reduce discomfort.
