Laser Hair Removal in St Johns

Laser hair removal works by targeting the hair follicles with intense heat generated by the laser. This heat damages the cells in the follicles, inhibiting their ability to produce hair. The thermal effects of the laser light penetrate the skin and specifically target the growing cells in the follicle, leading to long-term hair reduction.

We use the Candela GentleMax Pro for all of our treatments! This dual-wavelength laser combines Alexandrite and Nd: YAG laser technology into one machine, making it easy and safe to treat all skin tones. Additionally, the built-in CND cooling technology protects the skin and makes treatments tolerable.

Permanent hair reduction, according to the FDA, refers to a “long-term stable reduction in the number of hair regrowing after a treatment regime.” This means that after undergoing a series of treatments, there will be a significant decrease in the amount of hair that grows back in the treated area.

This reduction should be stable over time, indicating a permanent change in hair growth patterns. It does not necessarily mean complete hair removal, but rather a substantial and lasting reduction in hair regrowth. Certain life events such as pregnancy and hormonal changes can cause new hair growth. 

Laser hair removal works by targeting the hair follicles during their active growth phase. However, not all follicles are in this phase at the same time. Hair growth occurs in cycles, with some follicles dormant while others are actively growing. Therefore, multiple treatments are necessary to ensure that all follicles are targeted during their active growth phase and effectively treated.

Laser hair removal works by targeting the pigment in the hair follicles, which absorbs the laser energy and destroys the follicle. Therefore, hair that has little or no pigment cannot effectively absorb the laser energy, making laser treatment ineffective on such hair.

The best way to see if it will work for you is to come in for a free consultation! If your hair is too light to work, we will let you know. Our #1 priority is customer satisfaction, so we absolutely will not sell you laser hair removal if it won’t produce absolutely stellar results! Electrolysis would be a better option for you.

For maximum effectiveness and long time hair reduction, you will need at minimum 8 treatments, spaced 6-8 weeks apart.

After your six sessions are completed, you may or may not require laser hair removal touch-ups. This is because any hormonal changes can cause new hair growth. The body is designed to heal itself, and healing may mean repairing destroyed hair follicles. Results vary and your complete hair removal after 8 sessions is not guaranteed.

We cannot laser over tattoos but can laser around them. We recommend if you have a full sleeve of tattoos in the area you’d like to laser that you stick to our other amazing service: waxing!

The simple answer: no. At-home devices use mostly IPL technology which is not as effective- since it is NOT classified as a laser.

These devices are much smaller, and often battery-operated in comparison to our medical-grade lasers- and they don’t offer the Cryogen spray technology our lasers do. Compared to our treatments, at-home devices are more time-consuming, more painful, and produce inferior results.

In fact, a recent study of an FDA-approved laser hair removal home device was published by Lasers in Surgery and Medicine, a leading scientific laser journal. The people in the study had 4 to 6 treatments each. 4 weeks after the last treatment they showed an average of 36% hair reduction. However, 12 weeks later the hair had mostly returned!
