LASER HAIR REMOVAL

We offer state-of-the-art laser hair removal in Cincinnati using EpiLight. EpiLight is an intense pulsed light, or IPL, which is similar to laser treatment, but in many cases, more adaptable. While true lasers provide only one wavelength of light, the EpiLight offers a spectrum of wavelengths to choose from. This gives us flexibility in treating a variety of skin and hair colors. Treatment can be performed anywhere on the body or face.

How does laser hair removal work?

The EpiLight works on the same principle as laser, in which the hair, hair shaft, and hair follicle absorb the energy of the light. This heats the hair follicle and destroys it. The EpiLight is FDA approved for permanent, long-lasting hair reduction (removal). We do not call hair removal permanent because it is possible for the body to produce new hair as hair follicles are stimulated to mature, often caused by hormonal changes. The new hair is typically fine, light, and very slow to develop (over years). Any very fine or light hair will not be effectively treated with EpiLight.

Because hair grows in cycles, it usually takes a minimum of 4 treatments to get rid of your unwanted hair, and may take 5 or more. The response depends on your skin color, and the color, texture, and density of your hair. Treatments feel like a rubber band snap, and cooling gel is used for comfort and skin protection. It is necessary that the skin is untanned, and darker skin tones such as African-American are difficult to treat. White, blonde, or gray hair is also very difficult to treat.

A free consultation is offered, because we believe that education is essential to your decision to receive laser hair removal in Cincinnati . During your consultation, a DVD will be viewed. The complete process is explained and shown. Your area of concern will be discussed, along with pricing. Pricing is per treatment based on the size of the area treated, and begins at $150 per session. Special discounted package pricing is offered.
