LASER HAIR REMOVAL

Laser hair removal is an exciting new alternative for hair removal, which provides long-term suppression of hair growth. Dr Day uses the LightSheer laser, which allows for safe and effective treatment of a wide range of skin types, including darker skin.  The laser is a very precise instrument that can be adjusted to the exact parameters that will disable the hair follicle leaving your surrounding skin untouched.

"The LightSheer laser is the only laser of its kind FDA approved for permanent hair reduction"

LightSheer laser hair removal is performed in the comfort and privacy of our medical facility. Since the laser only uses light to remove the hair, it does not cause the irritation that other hair removal methods create.  Dr Day's LightSheer laser does not burn or cut the skin in any way, therefore recovery is rapid.  In fact, this procedure can even be done during a lunch break!  Laser hair removal with the LightSheer produces long lasting results.

The diagram below demonstrates the three phases of the human hair growth cycle.
 
The laser works by disabling hairs that are in their active growth cycle (anagen). Since other hairs may be dormant, additional treatment may be necessary to disable all of the follicles in a given area. See before/after photos.  See also patient testimonials.  More questions?
