The Best Candidates for Laser Hair Removal The best candidates for laser hair removal are fully able to comply with aftercare instructions, well-educated about the procedure, and have realistic expectations. Here are some criteria to help you decide if you are a good candidate:
Most areas require 6-8 treatments, but the number of treatments you may require for optimal long-term benefits depends on various factors such as your hairs' thickness, the area treated, and your hairs' growth cycle. Interestingly, not all hairs are actively growing at the same time, but actually go through three distinct phases: growth, regression, and resting. Our laser systems work 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 do the treatments feel like?
When the pulse light is delivered, some clients experience a mild flicking sensation. No pain medication is typically required;Patients will feel a series of short snaps, somewhat like a rubber band snapping , but no local anesthesia or pain medication is necessary. Sensitivity varies from person to person.
How many treatments ?
Pearls Med Spa offers permanent hair reduction. This means that in most cases the majority of hair will not return after a short series of treatment. Most areas require 6-8 treatments. However, the number of treatments required for optimal long-term benefits depends on multiple factors - hair thickness, the area treated and your hairs growth cycle. Each hair grows at a different rate and goes through three distinct phases: growth, regression, and resting. ProWave treatments work by disabling the hair that is in the active growth phase at the time of treatment. Since other hairs will enter this active growth stage at different times, additional treatments may be necessary.The hair we treat with ProWave will not grow back, and client can expect an 85 percent reduction in hair after six to eight treatments. As we age our hair patterns change, so this does not prevent the possibility of new hair growth over the years.
Our ProWave technology is effective on a wide range of skin types (skin types I to V), and is also one of the fastest. Shorter treatment times provide a nice benefit to our patients, especially when they want their backs and legs treated. It is permanent, safe and effective
It depends, of course, on the size of the area, but it typically takes 30 minutes to treat the upper and lower legs and 20 minutes for a man’s back
.
Do I need to grow the hair out before my treatment?
No. In fact, we ask that you shave beforehand since the treatment is targeting the hair follicle itself – not just hair.
What are the possible side effects?
Although clients experience few side effects those most commonly noticed are slight reddening, similar to sunburn. These effects typically last several hours or less. Following treatment you can return to normal activities immediately. Avoiding direct sunlight for a specified period before and after treatment is a requirement for treatment, as is using a 30+ sunblock.
Is it safe?
The beauty of our ProWave technology is that it effectively destroys the hair itself without harming the surrounding skin. You may be a little red afterward, but that
typically goes away in a matter of hours. As with all medical procedures there is a slight degree of risk, and we will discuss this with you thoroughly when you
come in for your consultation
How much does it cost?
This depends totally on the size of the area and the number of treatments we estimate are needed to achieve clearance. If you’d like to make an
appointment for a consultation, we can give you a specific idea as to the number of treatments and the price.
Can anyone have it done?
A good candidate is someone with pale to medium skin tone who wants to treat hair that is light brown or darker. No laser or light-based system can treat
blonde, white, red or gray hair since there is no melanin in it to absorb the light. We will evaluate if you are an appropriate candidate at the time of your
consultation
