What is laser hair removal?

Laser hair removal provides a long-term answer to the problem of unwanted body hair. It offers a far more convenient, less painful, and fuss-free way to get rid of undesired hair growth.

Most hair removal methods offer short-term solutions and involve messy, painful treatments that must be done repeatedly. For example, shaving lasts only a day before stubble grows back. Depilatory creams that melt the hair offer a longer-lasting result but are unpleasant and fiddly.

Waxing gives the smoothest results but is well-known for being painful when removing the hardened wax. Epilators remove hairs from the roots but can also be uncomfortable. None of these treatments provides a permanent solution to unwanted hair.

Laser hair removal is the gentlest, most effective way to permanently minimize hair regrowth.

What areas can laser hair removal treat?

Laser hair removal is suitable for eliminating unwanted hair in most areas, including the:

• Underarms
• Arms
• Legs
• Face
• Neck
• Chest
• Back
• Bikini area

Women and men, from teens to older patients, can benefit from laser hair removal. The GentleYAG® laser used by The Beauty Crew Institute of Medical Aesthetics suits any skin type.

How does GentleYAG laser hair removal work?

The GentleYAG Pro system removes unwanted body hair without damaging your skin’s delicate pores and structures. It’s a variable pulse high-energy ND:YAG 1064 laser that transmits a mild light beam through your skin to the hair follicle.

The follicle contains the hair’s roots. When hair roots absorb the GentleYAG’s light, the laser energy heat destroys them so that the hair can’t regrow.

The treated hair must be brown or black because the laser targets the pigment that produces hair color. Laser hair removal doesn’t work well on blonde or gray hair because it lacks pigment. It does produce effective results for light and dark skin and coarse or fine hair.

What does laser hair removal feel like?

GentleYAG laser hair removal is noninvasive and causes minimal or no discomfort. The system uses a dynamic cooling device (DCD™) that delivers cryogen gas bursts before and after every laser pulse. The gas prevents skin from overheating during the laser treatment.

GentleYAG laser hair removal requires no downtime. You can return to your routine right after treatment.
