Q:
How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
A:
The Laser admits light, converted into heat that directly targets actively growing hair follicles. Laser hair removal technology works because dark colors attract light energy and hold it, while light colors reflect light energy. When the laser emits a light beam, the dark hair absorbs the laser energy and permanently prohibits growth. It is important to be familiar with the hair growth cycles to understand why more than one treatment is needed and to better appreciate how the laser works. Each hair passes though three distinct stages: Active Growth (Anagen), Transition (Catagen) and shedding (Telogen). If the hair is up and has visible pigment it is in its active phase. Its pigment can absorb the laser and the follicle can be destroyed. Only 30-50% of hair is actively growing at any time. When the hair is in the resting or shedding phases it is not capable of absorbing the laser light and no destruction of the follicle can occur. Therefore multiple treatments are required in order to hit each hair in the active stage.

Q:

A:
Elase offers permanent hair removal with the latest in laser technology. It is important to note that not all "lasers" on the market give permanent results. At Elase, we offer only the best in Candela and Cynosure laser technology to give optimal results. The average patient can achieve 80-90% hair loss after 6-10 treatments. Schedule a free consultation so you can understand the different lasers and how they work to eliminate hair.
Q:
Is it safe?
A:
The lasers at Elase are FDA approved for all areas of the body and all skin types. Laser has been proven to be safe for pregnant and nursing women. Side effects from laser hair removal are minimal and temporary. Potential reactions include hyperpigmentation (darkening of skin) which can easily be treated with exfoliation, and a histamine reaction (itching) that can be treated with over the counter allergy medications.
Q:
How many treatments do I need?
A:
Because our hair is not always actively growing, laser hair removal takes more than one treatment. Everyone is anatomically different, one person might require more treatments than another. Even different body parts can require different amount of treatments than other areas. This makes it difficult for anyone to claim exactly how many treatments will be needed until the patient is content with the results. We have calculated an average amount of treatments needed based on the thousands of patients we have treated over the past decade. The average is 6 to 10 treatments. It is important that we see you on a regular basis so that we can make sure to hit your hair right when it becomes active. For instance, we know that the hair on your face grows at a different rate than the hair on your back, legs or underarms. For this reason, it is important to stay on a regular schedule for each area of the body.
Q:
Who is a good candidate?
A:
Not all lasers are for all skin types. At Elase, however, we have a laser that is safe for every skin type. We can treat all skin colors and we can treat any area of the body. Our lasers at Elase offer a cooling device called DCD or Cryogen which cools the skin to -5 degrees C. This is hardly noticeable, but protects the skin from the heat of the laser. The cryogen is a special patent for our lasers, making creams and gels unnecessary.
Patients that are not candidates for laser hair removal include those who are:
- Currently taking Accutane or have taken Accutane within the last 6 months
- Patients on any photosensitive medications
- Have only blonde, red, white or grey hair*
Laser Hair Removal does not target blonde, red or grey hair. The only form of permanent hair removal for blonde, red, white or grey hair is electrolysis. This is another form of permanent hair removal and is offered at all Florida locations.
Q:
Does it hurt?
A:
The simple answer to that question is “Not Any More”. Elase Medical Spas is the first hair removal provider in your area to offer painless hair removal with the patented Serenity Machine. The Serenity Machine is the only device FDA approved to remove the pain associated with laser hair removal. Using a comfortable suction, the Serenity machine, makes your treatment totally comfortable. Elase is the first to offer this patented technology to our customers.
