Laser Hair Removal

It is now easier and more comfortable than ever to remove unwanted hair from your face or body . Instead of shaving, tweezing or waxing, and instead of going through painful electrolysis, you can now enjoy comfortable, permanent hair removal.

At AVLC we offer laser hair removal that is

• Safe for any part of the body
• Very cost effective
• A simple procedure that requires no downtime

The remarkable new Harmony Platform uses Advanced Fluorescence Technology to easily remove unwanted hair without damaging the surrounding epidermis. The AFT HR module utilizes selective photothermolysis to convert unused UV light into the optimal spectrum needed to remove hair. In other words, we are able to focus the laser at the exact wavelength needed to destroy the entire hair without causing discomfort or unsightly marks. In addition to eliminating the hair, the light pulses will also destroy the surrounding cells that are responsible for hair regrowth, while leaving all other cells untouched. Simply put, it will be as though no hair ever existed and won’t hurt at all.

Laser hair removal with AFT® technology is safer, gentler, and more effective than previous methods. It uses less energy, which means a safer solution (particularly if you have dark skin). It is much more comfortable both before and after the treatment. Best of all, AFT® can remove more hair in fewer treatments and more effectively, which means that you will see faster results. AFT® laser hair removal is a semi-permanent (60-80%) solution for an embarrassing annoyance.

Almost everyone has unwanted hair somewhere on their body. Unfortunately, traditional hair removal routines can be tedious, painful and expensive over time. Shaving may last a day, waxing a couple of weeks, but none of them last forever – and therein lies the true beauty of laser hair removal.

Laser Hair Removal FAQ

How does it work?

To eliminate hair, the laser emits gentle pulses of energy that pass through the skin to the hair follicle. This energy is then absorbed into the hair follicle to destroy it so that is unlikely to grow there again.

Am I a viable candidate for laser hair removal?

Laser hair removal can be applied to all areas of the body and on all types of skin (even tanned or dark skin).

Does it hurt?

The laser treatment causes only minimal discomfort. Patients often say it feels similar to the snap of a rubber band. Slight redness or localized swelling can occasionally occur, but this usually subsides within the first 24 hours after treatment.

How many laser hair treatments are required?

Typically patients will see results in 4 – 6 treatments, though this number will vary based upon skin tone, hair color and several other factors. Your doctor or practitioner will talk to you about variables that may affect your individual results.
