Depending on your skin type, it might be recommended for you to come in prior to your scheduled appointment to try a test spot.
Following your treatment, the following is recommended:
Dynamic Pulse Control™ (DPC) Flow is a technology developed by SharpLight Technologies, specifically for hair removal. Using the DPC Flow you can enjoy a treatment experience that is pain-free and significantly gentler than traditional modalities.
Clinical evidence has confirmed that DPC Flow delivers effective and permanent reduction of unwanted hair. The technology is based on high levels of energy, which are delivered in short pulses, at a high repetition rate.
During treatment, the DPC Flow handpiece is in constant motion and gradually heats up the dermis to a temperature in which only the hair follicles are damaged, without harming the surrounding tissue. Throughout the treatment, a sapphire contact cooling mechanism protects the epidermis.
Laser Hair Removal is a service that is open to everyone! Women, men cis, transgender, gender non-conforming, non-binary individuals, and people of all body shapes, sizes, and abilities.
LHR prevents ingrown hairs and overactive hair follicles. It can aid those who suffer from PCOS and high estrogen levels. Also, LHR can align your hair growth pattern with your gender presentation.
Typically every 4-6 weeks depending on the area to be treated. We will discuss hair growth cycles with you at your consultation so that you are aware of the frequency of your treatments.
Electrolysis involves use of an electric current with a very fine probe to destroy the root of each hair follicle.
Since electrolysis involves direct mechanical destruction of the root, it can be used on all hair colours and skin types.
Treatments are usually weekly and can take up to 1 hour, based on patient the volume of hair and the client tolerance.
Targeting individual hairs is time consuming and can be more expensive than Laser Hair Removal.
Electrolysis is effective when used to treat hairs that have not or will not be effective with laser hair removal, especially very light blonde or grey hairs.
