Laser Hair Removal and Intense Pulsed Light Hair Removal
 At Baxt Cosmedical, we have two different hair removal methods: a laser and an intense pulsed light source. We will work with you to determine which is best for your hair and skin type.
The concept of removing unwanted hair from various areas on the body, quickly, easily, effectively and with minimal discomfort, has been a dream for many people. Through the use of medical lasers and intense pulsed light, this is no longer a concept, but a reality.
The Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) or Laser emits light at a wavelength that is targeted at melanin in the hair follicle. Melanin is the material that gives color to our skin and hair. Therefore, the ideal candidate for this procedure would have "light skin and dark hair". It is important not to have a tan while being treated with most lasers. However, the intense pulsed light can be used safely on dark skin.
It is important to understand the hair growth cycle to appreciate how this technology works. At any given time, a certain percentage of hairs are in the "resting" phase. The laser will not be effective on these hairs, which is why multiple treatments will be necessary in each area for the maximum result. Subsequent treatments can be done as soon as further hair growth appears. Due to the variation in the number of hairs in the resting phase, certain parts of the body will respond more rapidly and others take much longer to show the effects.
It is important that each patient be properly evaluated prior to laser or light treatment for hair removal and we look forward to doing this with you.
