Laser Hair Removal


General Information

Laser hair removal offers a quick, safe and comfortable way to remove unwanted body hair. Unlike other less permanent hair reduction systems that focus on individual hairs, laser technology quickly treats larger areas of hair at once. In an hour or less, most body areas can treated and the hair does not return.

The Laser Machine We Use

The GentleLase LE by Candela Laser Corporation is the Number one hair laser machine in the world. The GentleLase machine by Candela has a unique integrated Dynamic Cooling Device (DCD) that is based on proprietary Candela technology. In fact, the GentleLase machine is the stronger of only 2 long-pulse alexandrite lasers with dynamic cooling (DCD available. This safe, innovative process selectively cools the skin during low and high-energy treatments. The DC device delivers a short burst of non-toxic, super-cooled cryogen onto the top layer of the your skin milliseconds before the actual laser pulse. This coolant greatly speeds up treatment and protects the underlying hair follicles and blood vessels. Our hair removal laser has been specifically chosen because it offers the fastest results with the least amount of discomfort. Our laser is FDA approved and the technology has been in use worldwide for over 10 years.

Actual Medical Laser v. Pulsed Light

AN ACUTAL LASER: A Laser emits one single wavelength of very intense light energy.

INTENSE LIGHT BULB (IPL): Is bright light bulb. Not a laser. This light bulb emits many wavelengths of light and these are put through a "filter" and all but one wavelength are blocked out. These energies are also not as strong or as effective as a real medical laser.

Dr. Ores uses an actual medical LASER machine. Not a bright light bulb. The GentleLase by Candela Corp. We do not use a really bright light bulb or "Intense Pulsed Light" (IPL) machine. Therefore you get faster, better results and need many fewer treatments. The price per treatment may be slightly higher with a top of the line medical LASER machine, but fewer treatments are needed and overall it costs the same or less then "light bulb" treatments. Also, with an actual medical LASER machine, your hair loss is much less likely to return after one year as is possible with light bulb (IPL) treatments. The results are much more permanent with an actual medical laser. Always ask for the GentleLase or the GentleYag by Candela Corporation regardless who provides your treatments (we hope you will choose us) for your hair reduction.
