GENTLE YAG PERMANENT LASER HAIR REMOVAL (USA)

The Gentle YAG Laser Hair Removal, a revolutionary long-pulse Nd:YAG laser, emits a pulse of light that passes through the skin to the hair follicle. It is the US FDA-approved most effective procedure for permanent laser hair removal.

The laser energy is transformed into heat, which destroys the hair follicle in its active growth cycle, leaving the surrounding skin unaffected. Gentle YAG Laser selectively helps protect the skin, while effectively treating the unwanted hair.

During the treatment, a cooling cryogen spray will cool the skin just before each laser pulse. The procedure can take as little as 10 minutes for small areas, up to 30 minutes for large areas. Unlike the precision “follicle by follicle” treatments the laser uses a wide beam with large diameter hand piece which allows the treatment of many follicles all at once.

Most patients experience little discomfort at the treatment areas. The treated area may become pinkish or reddish which may last for an hour up to a few days and is relieved with the application of ice or cooling gels. An acne-like reaction can occur but it will go away by itself in a few days.

Since hairs will enter their growth cycle at different times, additional treatments will be necessary to destroy all of the follicles in the treated area.

Laser hair removal is the premier treatment option today and provides long term hair reduction. You can expect to see at least 90% reduction in hair after 9-12 treatments, but depending on many factors such as hair color, skin type, etc.

A minimum of 9-12 sessions of treatment is required for the best results, as the process is only effective on hair during the early growing cycle.
