Does Laser Hair Removal Hurt?
For most people, laser hair removal does not hurt. However, it all depends on your threshold for pain. Most people say that it feels like snapping a rubber band against the skin. But if you’re overly sensitive to pain, you may experience some minor discomfort. Ladies, if it is close to your time of the month, you might be more sensitive. Both our machines have a built in coolant to calm the skin from the heat of the laser.
Is Laser Hair Removal Safe?
The answer is yes. The U.S Food and Drug Administration approved it as a safe method for hair removal in 1997. However, laser hair removal is only safe when a licensed technician performs the procedure.
How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
Laser hair removal involves the use of laser pulses. These pulses emit light into the skin that destroys the root and follicle of the hair. When the root and follicle are destroyed, hair can no longer grow.
For this process to work, the hair must be targeted during an active growth phase. However, individual hairs usually grow at different rates. Therefore, it takes several treatment sessions to capture every hair in the growth phase and produce optimal results.
How Long Does Laser Hair Removal Last?
Some people see permanent results, while some people may need a touch-up treatment every six to twelve months. Results vary depending on your hair type and skin type. Proper preparation and aftercare can also affect how long the results last.
How Old Do You Have to Be to Get Laser Hair Removal?
There is no specific age minimum, but it is important to wait until you’ve gone through puberty to begin laser treatments. Females should not begin treatment unless they’ve already started their menstrual cycle.
How Do You Prepare for Laser Hair Removal?
To prepare for laser hair removal, avoid plucking, waxing, and tanning for six weeks prior to your first treatment. In the days before treatment, avoid taking medications such as blood thinners, NSAIDs, and pain relievers. Take a shower and shave right before your treatment, but don’t apply any lotions, moisturizers, or sunscreens to the skin.
Can You Get Laser Hair Removal if You’re Pregnant?
It is best to play it safe and avoid laser hair removal while you’re pregnant. There is no evidence to suggest that it is unsafe, but there have not been long-term studies to analyze the effect of the laser on an unborn child.
Can You Get Laser Hair Removal on Any Part of the Body?
Laser removal can be performed on any area of the body except the eyelids. The most popular treatment areas are the legs, back, arms, chest, upper lip, underarms, and bikini area.
You can also get laser hair removal on your ears, nose, scalp, forehead, eyebrows, and other parts of your face.
Can Anybody Get Laser Hair Removal?
Anyone can get laser hair removal, regardless of skin color or hair type. However, people with light skin and dark hair tend to see faster and better results than people with light hair or a darker skin tone. Any man or woman can have the treatments, though pregnant women should wait until after they’ve given birth to begin their sessions.
Are There Side Effects to Laser Hair Removal?
The side effects are minimal. This is one of the primary benefits of laser hair removal.
Some people experience temporary redness, itching, and swelling of the skin right after treatment. These side effects usually go away within a few hours, and most can be soothed by applying aloe vera to the treated area.
In rare cases, some people may see scars, burns, or blisters. But these side effects usually occur only in people who do not follow the proper aftercare plan.
How Many Laser Hair Removal Treatments Do You Need to Get?
In most cases, you’ll need between six and twelve treatments. These treatments are spaced out four to eight weeks apart. The waiting period is necessary to target every hair follicle while it’s in an active stage of the growth cycle.
V-FORM
Body Contouring & Circumferential Reduction
Breckenridge
Body re-shaping without surgery or pain!
Local fat accumulation, either over the abdomen, underarms, flanks, or lower face (jowl line and double chin), is one of the most annoying body conditions. Since these conditions are not related to the entire body fat volume, typical diet or sports activities have little to no effect.
V – Form’s fat volume treatments are clinically proven safe and comfortable, with no downtime.
Reshape your body with non-surgical technology!
Sinclair’s Technology helps to reduce fat volume by treating the fat layer effectively and safely. This treatment provides consistent results, primarily for the facial contouring and body circumferential reduction with long lasting effect.
The RF energy heats the hypodermal layers to enhance blood microcirculation that in turn encourages enzymatic activity, leading to fat natural hydrolysis, resulting in fat volume reduction. The heating effect in the dermal layers lead to connective tissue remodeling which tighten the skin and helps to keep the results for much longer.
Treatable Areas:
Abdomen
Underarms
Flanks
lower face (jowl line and double chin)

Acne is the most common skin condition with 85% of the population between the ages 12-24 suffering from some level of acne. Zits, blemishes, and pimples often appear on the face, back, chest, neck, and shoulders, where skin contains a large amount of oil (sebaceous) glands, due to bacteria outbreaks called Propionibacterium acnes (P. acne).
