LASER HAIR REMOVAL

Lasers and light sources use the principle of selective photothermolysis to eliminate hair and its potential re-growth without damaging the surrounding skin. During a treatment, light passes through the skin and is absorbed by the melanin in the hair shaft. This absorption raises the temperature of the hair follicle and thermally destroys the cells responsible for re-growth. The attributes of the light (wavelength, pulse duration and power) are chosen to ensure damage to these cells and not the rest of the skin.
Both the Soprano and HarmonyT provide physicians with safe and effective methods of delivering to their patients predictable, reliable and reproducible photoepilation results, including:

• Effecting stable long-term or permanent hair reduction.

• Use on all skin types (Fitzpatrick I-VI), including tanned skin.

• The ability to treat nearly any hair color, from blond to black, as well as most terminal hair textures, from coarse to fine.

• The ability to treat hairs on all parts of the body including anywhere on the face, the bikini line, legs, underarms or a man's back.
