At Verve Weight Loss & Laser Aesthetics in Upland, CA, we know that you have better things to do than constantly waxing, shaving, and plucking your unwanted hair, which is why we offer laser hair removal treatments so that you don’t have to. In just a few quick non-invasive sessions, you can achieve smooth, hair-free skin. If you’re ready to experience a hair-free life, we have two effective lasers that can help remove your unwanted hair for good.
What Is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is a treatment that uses laser light to permanently eliminate unwanted body or facial hair. It is an effective treatment that delivers long-lasting results. Once you complete the recommended number of treatment sessions to effectively target and eliminate all of your unwanted hair, you will no longer have to worry about at-home hair removal methods ever again.
This treatment helps make life simpler and will save you thousands of dollars long-term. It’s an investment in yourself and your future. It gives you a lot of extra time to do things that you enjoy, not removing unwanted hair.
How Does It Work?
This treatment is so effective because it addresses the source of hair growth. During a treatment session, your technician will target the laser light at your treatment area. It will bypass your skin and won’t harm any of the surrounding tissue. Instead, it will only zone in on the pigment in your hair follicle. Laser is attracted to pigment, and once it reaches your hair follicle, it heats the area and damages it. Damaged hair follicles no longer grow hair.
Your hair goes through different growth cycles, so some follicles may be inactive during the time of your first treatment. That’s why you may still experience hair growth after initial treatment. The initial treatment will damage any active hair follicles, but additional treatments are necessary to target each hair follicle at its time of active growth. Scheduling strategic treatments help deliver the most widespread results.
The Elite+ Laser
The Elite+ laser system is a product that can target and treat many skin conditions and imperfections, one of those conditions being unwanted hair. This laser provides an effective and efficient way to remove unwanted hair anywhere on the body. It targets and damages the hair follicles of all your unwanted hair in quick and virtually painless treatment sessions. It is safe for all skin types, including types III, IV, and beyond.
Those who typically don’t qualify for other laser hair removal treatments due to the pigment of their skin, including Asian, Hispanic, African-American, and Indian Asian patients, can safely schedule this treatment without worrying about any kind of adverse risk or reaction.
What Are the Benefits?
The Elite+ laser system covers large surface areas during each treatment, so you can get faster results in fewer treatment sessions. It is a far more comfortable experience than typical photo-based treatments and can be completely customized to your specific needs.
During treatment, we can apply a prescription-strength topical anesthetic cream to help you maintain optimal comfort when treating delicate areas like the bikini zone and face.
Scheduling Your Elite+ Laser Treatments
When we schedule your treatments, we will do so to ensure that we can target every hair follicle in its acting growth phase. Your treatment area will determine your treatment schedule. If you choose to treat your face, arms, bikini zone, or underarms, we will schedule your appointments approximately four to six weeks apart. When treating larger areas like the back, legs, and chest, we will schedule your treatments with eight to ten weeks between each.
The Icon Laser
The Icon laser is another state-of-the-art laser device that helps treat many different skin imperfections and can remove overgrown and unwanted hair from the face and body. This laser delivers fractional treatments, meaning it focuses on one area at a time with accuracy and precision. It damages the hair follicles so that they stop growing hair, which helps eliminate hair growth long term so you can achieve hair-free skin.
What Can It Treat?
The Icon laser uses IPL (intense pulsed light) to help slow hair growth and remove unwanted hair from the face and the body. It is safe for all skin types but is more effective at removing and eliminating darker hair since the light in the device is drawn to pigment. Those with very light hair may be better suited for a different laser treatment. An initial consultation can help determine if the Icon laser is right for your specific needs.
