What do Cosmetic Laser Services treatments feel like?
Cosmetic Laser Services hand piece cools and sooths as it glides along your skin. When the pulse light is delivered, some people experience a mild pinching or stinging sensation. No local anesthesia or pain medication is typically required, however some people may prefer to use a topical anesthetic when sensitive areas are treated.
How many treatments will be needed?
Most areas require 3-6 treatments, but the number of Cosmetic Laser Services treatments you may require for optimal long term benefits depends on various factors such as your hair's thickness, the area treated, on your hair's growth cycle.
Interestingly, not all hairs are actively growing at the same time, but actually go through three distinct phases: growth, regression, and resting. Cosmetic Laser Services laser works by disabling the hair that is principally in the active growth phase at the time of treatment. Since other hairs will enter this active growth phase at different times, additional treatments may be necessary to disable all of the hair follicles in a given area.
What happens after the treatment?
Immediately following your Cosmetic Laser Services treatments, the area may appear a bit red and swollen. Around 3-7 days after treatment you may experience what seems to be re growth of hair. Actually most of these hairs are being shed as a result of your treatment, and are not regrowing. In between treatments you should not wax or pluck your hair, but it is permissible to shave.
Are there any restrictions after treatments?
Following your treatments you can return to your normal activities right away. However, since some redness may occur, you may want to plan your work or social engagements accordingly. The use of sunscreen is recommended on any treated areas exposed to the sun. As always it is a good idea to limit your sun exposure.
What are the possible side effects?
Slight reddening and local swelling of the skin, similar to a sunburn may occur in some persons. These effects typically last for several hours or less. In rare instances, blistering may occur. Consult with your medical professional for complete information on the benefits and risks of treatment.
How long do the results last?
The Cosmetic Laser Services treatments cause permanent reduction in the number of hairs growing in an area. Because hair grows in three phases, and each hair goes through these phases independently, it is almost impossible for one laser treatment to permanently reduce all the hair in a given area. Clinical studies which have followed people for one year after completing treatments, have shown that reduction in hair growth was stable for the duration of that time. While individual results may vary, people typically find that it takes 3 to 6 treatments to get the desired results.
How does Cosmetic Laser Services compare with other hair removal methods?
Shaving, waxing, and depilatory creams are all temporary methods which must be repeated on a frequent basis. Cosmetic Laser Services offers longer lasting results for your hair removal needs.
How does Cosmetic Laser Services compare with electrolysis?
Electrolysis is a tedious, invasive and painful process that involves inserting a needle into each individual hair follicle, and delivering an electrical charge to them one at a time. Electrolysis often requires years of treatment at regular intervals. By delivering light energy to hundreds of hair follicles at a time, our laser effectively treats an area that would take over an hour with electrolysis, in just seconds.
Why choose the Cosmetic Laser Services Laser System over other laser hair removal systems?

The longer wavelength allows it to be used safely and effectively on people with light or dark skin as well as tanned skin.
