Hair Removal (Laser)
Many with unwanted hair wrongly believe that permanent hair removal with Intense Pulsed Light therapy is too expensive to try. These people often resort to waxing, plucking, electrolysis, or other temporary fixes that are often painful, time-consuming, and produce less than stellar results.

Note: --- Laser Hair Removal is not for everyone however, the hair must be darker than surrounding skin. Please visit us for a consultation.

Hair Removal (Waxing)
Waxing is a technique used to temporarily remove unwanted hair. This hair removal method can be performed on most areas of the body. Regrowth of the hair varies from three to eight weeks.

Body Hair Removal Guide
Popular body hair removal methods vary somewhat by the location, density, and color of the body hair to be removed. Additionally, common areas of unwanted body hair on women vary from unwanted male body hair. Excessive body hair on anyone, male or female can be embarrassing and even affect self esteem. Below is a guide to the options available to remove body hair. Laser Hair Removal, though it may take up to 10 sessions, is the best alternative.

Facial Hair Removal for Female
Women who have dark or excessive facial hair are often embarrassed to have it. Unbalanced hormones can play a role in excessive facial hair, and should be controlled by a physician before attempting permanent hair removal on the face. Bleaching the upper lip hair is a common alternative to permanently removing the hair. It can work well if there is not too much hair on the upper lip otherwise it will just looks like a blonde mustache. Hair laser reduction may take up to 10 treatments, but the results are long lasting requiring touch ups only every 6 months.

Facial Hair Removal for Male
It is often the norm for a man to have a smooth face and neck, and most choose electric razors or conventional razors to shave their facial hair and neck hair. It is not common for men to use depilatory cream, waxing, or electrolysis for removal of facial hair. Laser hair removal is becoming a popular choice for men who want facial hair and neck hairs gone permanently. Hair laser reduction may take up to 10 treatments, but the results are long lasting requiring touch ups every 6 months 
It is easier to remove this hair by shaving, but necessary to contend with the constant stubble. Depilatory creams can be a viable option since it is easy to apply a depilatory cream to one's chest hair. Waxing is also an option, but the cost and ingrown hairs resulting can be prohibitive. Again, electrolysis will probably remove the hair permanently, but can take quite a long time for such a large area.

Leg Hair Removal
It is not difficult to remove leg hair by shaving, depilatory creams, or waxing, but there are pros and cons to removing leg hair by these methods. It is very quick to remove your own leg hair by shaving, creams or even by waxing. Shaving such a large area can be tedious though, and many people have to shave their legs daily to keep them smooth. Waxing legs isn't as painful as waxing other areas such as bikinis, but it gets very expensive. Leg waxing costs about $45 every six weeks. Hair Laser on the legs take less than 1 hour each session and require about 4-10 sessions to obtain permanent hair reduction. Electrolysis for legs will often time permanently remove the hair, but can take much longer, and cost more than laser.

Back Hair Removal
Back hair removal is very important for a man's self image if he has excess back hair. A man has very few viable options if he doesn't know anyone who will slather on depilatory cream or shave his back every three days or so. Back waxing is a possibility, but can become really costly at $45 to $65 every six weeks. Removing the hair on the back by laser is quick and affordable over time. Back hair may be permanently reduced after 5 to 10 one hour sessions. Electrolysis to remove unwanted back hair can easily take over 100 one hour sessions, and can cost about $40-150 per session.

Genital or Pubic Hair Removal
Complete, or almost complete bikini hair removal has become more common for women today partially bolstered by the fashion craze of low-rise jeans and hipster skirts. Some centers offer options for designs, henna tattoos, rhinestones and even designer logos in the pubic region. Now more than ever women are choosing to go bare. Bare or not, excess genital hair can be quite embarrassing at the beach.

Pubic hair removal only takes about 15-30 minutes per session, and many machines are approved to claim "permanent hair reduction." The pubic area will require about 4-10 sessions to be smooth.

Removing hair from the bikini area comes with its unique problems. The skin of the bikini area is prone to irritation, and ingrown hairs. Shaving, waxing and sugaring can exacerbate this. Furthermore it is necessary to wait for a certain amount of outgrowth before waxing and it can be embarrassing to be seen on the beach with so much out growth. Let all women be warned, OOOUCH - bikini waxing and Brazilian bikini waxing can really hurt! It can even leave bruising. Depilatory creams, better known as hair removal creams don't have the above problems, but the cream can cause chemical burns if left on too long. The results of these creams only last a few days. Electrolysis requires some outgrowth, and can take many hours to complete. Electrolysis will result in permanent bikini line removal, though.
