Everyone’s skin and hair are different, and having multiple lasers allows us to match the right treatment to your individual needs, delivering the safest and most effective treatment options you’ll find anywhere.
Each of our FDA-approved hair removal systems offers unique advantages, and our experienced providers commonly utilize several different hair removal lasers during your treatment series to ensure the best results and help you achieve the smooth skin that you want.
Depending on the body area or areas treated, you’ll receive a series of treatments spaced apart every four to eight weeks, often starting on the same day as your consultation.
One of our most widely used lasers, the GentleLase, is best for lighter skin types, ranging from highly sun-sensitive skin that always burns to minimally sun-sensitive skin that always tans.
The GentleYag laser is specially designed for people with darker or sun-exposed skin.
The Lightsheer is safe to use for a wide variety of skin types. In Duet mode, it’s also one of the fastest and most comfortable hair removal technologies available.
Patients describe the sensation of laser hair removal as similar to the snap of a rubber band. Two of our most popular lasers, the GentleLase and the GentleYAG, use a cryogen spray that precedes the laser pulse, pre-cooling the skin and making the treatment extremely comfortable.
The LightSheer uses a cold plate to numb the treatment area, and in Duet mode is our fastest and most comfortable laser hair removal technology. It’s perfect for treating large areas (like a man’s back or a woman’s legs) as it takes much less time to cover the same area just as effectively as other lasers.
What Areas Of The Body Can Be Treated?
All areas of the body, including face, neck, underarms, bikini line, chest, areola, legs, back, and ears can be treated. Eyebrows should not be shaped with the laser but the area in between the eyebrows can be treated. How Will I Look And Care For The Treated Area?
Immediately after the procedure, the treated area may appear minimally red in color. This reaction generally subsides within minutes to hours. Ice compresses can hasten the resolution of the redness if necessary.
Laser hair removal selectively concentrates light energy in the hair follicle, leaving the surrounding skin unchanged. With each session, the number of hairs growing in the treatment area declines and they can become finer and lighter.
Laser hair removal can be performed on any area of the face or body in as little as 15 to 30 minutes and is faster and easier than other methods of hair removal.
Laser hair removal is great for both women and men and can target all areas of the body including the bikini line, face, neck, underarms, legs, back, and ears.
Our cosmetic laser and light therapies have been designed to work safely and effectively for all skin types.
At Eternal Hair & Esthetics, patients of African American, Indian, Asian, Hispanic American, Mediterranean, Middle Eastern and mixed race descent can feel confident that our experienced providers are utilizing specialized long wavelength lasers such as GentleYAG, the gold standard for the treatment of dark skin, to provide safe and effective laser hair removal treatments. These long wavelength lasers are absorbed less by melanin, minimizing the risk to your skin’s pigment during laser hair removal treatment.
There are several stages of hair growth and hairs in the active growth phase are more responsive to the laser. Depending on the density of hair, hair color and hormonal factors, the number of treatments required varies from four to eight, spaced four to six weeks apart for the face, and six to eight weeks apart for the torso and legs. With each treatment there is a progressive reduction in the number and diameter of the hairs re-growing.
The FDA has cleared lasers for the permanent reduction of unwanted hair, and the results are excellent. Though no one can guarantee the complete and permanent removal of 100% of unwanted hair, we can assure you that laser hair removal is the most advanced and effective procedure today and patients are extremely satisfied with the results.
The ideal candidate is a patient with light skin and coarse, dark hair but due to recent developments and the latest technology we can achieve great results in patients with darker skin as well. For these patients, specialized lasers must be utilized, the most advanced of which is the GentleYAG Nd:YAG laser.
