How does Laser Hair Removal work?
Unlike other processes the laser beam treats many hairs at once, making treatments of large areas more practical. The computer sets the parameters and places the beam in an optimum pattern for your skin to ensure a safe, fast, effective and gentle treatment. The laser contains an infrared laser that can selectively target microstructures such as hair follicles. It is very effective for lighter skin types and because of the relatively low absorption of this light by melanin, it is the best choice when treating darker skin types. Additionally, the ability to safely treat sun-tanned skin makes this treatment of choice for active individuals.
Can all skin colors be treated?
YES, all skin types I through VI can be treated.
What happens during hair removal treatment?
Dr. Jimerson or his staff will discuss the treatment with you and decide if you need a topical anesthetic cream. The area of your skin that is to be treated will be scanned with the laser light from the clearscan system. Treatment time will depend upon the area or areas to be treated. A system for cooling your skin will be used to remove heat as it leaves the follicles and should ensure a comfortable treatment. However, since the sensation caries from person to person a topical anesthesia can be provided. Let Dr. Jimerson know if you are very sensitive.

How many treatments will I need?
You may need to be treated from 3 to 5 times at intervals of 3 to 8 weeks. There are three phases of hair growth-anagen, catagen, and telogen. Only hairs in the active growth phase, anagen, can be successfully treated.
Can in-grown hairs be treated?
The infrared energy can be used to remove all types of hair. Sometimes "shaving bumps" can cover a follicle, but the penetrating light of the clearscan can still be safely used.
