Laser Hair Reduction

Unwanted hair can be a nightmare. It may be a question of hygiene or aesthetics, but this hair can often be embarrassing or bothersome. Until recently, the only ways to remove it was by using foul smelling hair removal creams, hot wax or sharp razors. But thanks to modern laser hair reduction technology, now men and women alike can enjoy pleasing results minus the pain and inconvenience of temporary and long drawn solutions.

HOW DOES LASER HAIR REDUCTION WORK?

At Glow &Go, we use the diode laser, which is the gold standard in hair reduction laser. This USFDA approved technology is the most advanced in hair reduction and has been clinically proven to be safe and effective on all skin types. In a diode laser hair removal treatment, the laser light only affects actively growing hair. Since hair growth has different phases over time, diode laser hair removal requires multiple treatments for desired results.

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF LASER HAIR REDUCTION?

Our doctors will draw up a treatment plan for you after a detailed analysis of your skin type and hair growth. Best results are achieved when the hair being treated is thick, dark and coarse. You should avoid threading, plucking or waxing of hair at least 3 weeks prior to the laser hair reduction service. After checking the hair, it will be shaved before the treatment. And contrary to popular belief, this will not make your hair grow any thicker than it already is. The diode laser is designed for maximum patient comfort. It cools the skin before and during the treatment and this further reduces any chances of discomfort.

HOW MANY SESSIONS WILL I REQUIRE ?

The laser slows the growing capacity of follicles that are in the growth phase during your cycle. Since some follicles may enter the growth cycle after your treatment, multiple sessions are required for optimal results. This also depends on how large the area being treated is and the quality of the hair and the quantity of hair follicles. Age, ethnicity, diet, medication and hormonal and metabolic levels of each individual also play a part in determining the number of sessions required.

IS THERE ANY DOWNTIME?

You can resume normal activities immediately following your session. However, we do insist you follow the simple aftercare regime prescribed by our doctors to ensure maximum results and comfort.
