Does Laser Hair Removal in Kelowna Work?

The laser hair removal machine emits quick pulses of light that pass through skin, and are absorbed by the hair follicle. The intensity and speed of the pulse is turned to heat, which destroys the follicle, thus impairing further hair growth. This laser incorporates the principle of Thermokinetic Selectivity (TKS™), which makes this such an effective method of hair removal.

 

 

The Alexandrite laser

is a comfortable, effective method of removing any unwanted hair, and revealing beautiful, smooth skin. Laser hair removal therapy is a tested, proven method for removal of bikini hair, facial hair, arm hair, leg hair, and back hair. This treatment will allow you to escape form shaving, waxing, plucking, and time-consuming electrolysis.

 

What is TKS™ and what does it mean in Kelowna Laser Hair Removal?

Thermokinetic selectivity allows the laser energy to only select hair follicles, so that the surrounding skin is not damaged. This process provides for beautiful results where only the hair follicle is destroyed, and the skin remains untouched.

Who are Candidates for Laser Hair Removal in Kelowna?

Almost everyone can receive laser hair removal treatment, although some people will have better results than during evaluation. The best results occur on people with light skin and dark hair, whereas, good results are difficult to achieve on blonde hair, and on people with dark, or tanned, skin. Through more extensive treatments, however, darker skinned people can achieve a desirable result. If your naturally light skin is very tanned, appointments can be made for the winter, when skin has returned to its natural shade.

 

 

Is Laser Hair Removal in Kelowna Painful?

Most patients describe the experience as a series of pinpricks or sparks on the skin. Anesthesia is not usually required, although it is available. About 30 minutes after the treatment the area will turn red or pink. This may last for a few hours to one day, however it is not permanent and will disappear in a short time.

 

 

How Many Treatments of Kelowna Laser Hair Removalare Required?

The laser only affects hair when it is in the early growth phase. The laser will destroy follicles that are producing hair at the time of treatment. At the same time, some follicles are dormant, not producing any hair. Repeated sessions are necessary to destroy these follicles. Because of this cycle, about 5 or more treatments are usually required to fully destroy all the follicles completely.
