Lumenis LightSheer® DUET
For medium to darker hair colors, we use the Lumenis LightSheer® DUET, which features vacuum-assisted technology to target the base of the hair follicle. With no need for topical anesthetics to remove unwanted hair, the Lumenis LightSheer® DUET works with greater speed and comfort than most other methods. We can easily treat areas as large as the back or legs in 15-20 minutes. During this comfortable laser treatment, pulses of laser energy strike the skin for a millisecond at a time, energizing and heating the hair. This significantly impedes the follicle’s ability to regrow. Delicate areas are simultaneously treated and cooled for ultimate comfort.
“I used your services twice – once for laser on my chin and then I had my entire legs lasered. I am so happy with the results! I use to have to shave my legs every other day, but once I started your treatment I only shaved my legs the day before I came in. This has saved me so much time! Thank you so much!” – Linda 6/10/2012

Cutera CoolGlide® Excel
The Cutera CoolGlide® Excel laser is safe for people of all skin types, even for those with a darker tone of skin. The device features a special technology that cools the skin while applying laser energy. Due to this feature, the Cutera CoolGlide® Excel laser is suitable for even sensitive areas such as the bikini line, chest, and nipples. Energy from the laser penetrates the surface of the skin, halting the growth in the follicle and resulting in long-lasting hair reduction.
“I did the laser treatment for the bikini area and my technician was wonderful, professional and did a great job! I was so happy with my results, that I am now getting my armpits done and it is awesome! I am very happy with my results. In addition, the front desk staff are friendly and personable. Great local business!” – Jackie 6/17/2012
