A recent scientific advance in medical laser technology gives us a gentler, safer and faster solution to the problem of unwanted hair. It’s called TKS™, and it’s available at the Electrolysis and Laser Center.

Our lasers remove unwanted hair with unsurpassed efficacy and client comfort. That's because its revolutionary technology combines two optimal wavelengths into one system. Since you can switch between wavelengths during a single procedure, you can select the most appropriate laser for any given hair or skin type. Six to eight sessions are typically required to get permanent hair reduction in areas such as legs, arms, back, shoulders - even from underarms, the upper lip and the bikini area.

We’re pleased to offer the most recent advance in laser treatment for anyone desiring a comfortable, effective way to remove unwanted hair.

Laser therapy (with TKS™) is a thoroughly tested, clinically-proven method of hair removal. Treatment is relatively quick, and removes unwanted body hair without damaging the surrounding skin.

Men and women who want to rediscover the ease, beauty and confidence of hair-free skin can now have the attractive appearance they’ve always desired.

How does the laser work?

The laser emits a gentle beam of energy that passes through the skin to the hair follicle. The energy is then transformed into heat, which damages the follicle. The scientific principle called Thermokinetic Selectivity, ™ (TKS™) makes this method of hair removal particularly effective.

Why is TKS important?

TKS makes it possible for laser energy to “select” only hair follicles, while sparing surrounding skin from damage. This brings the cosmetic results you want with the clinical results you need.

How do I know if I’m a good candidate for laser hair removal?

If you are concerned about unwanted hair, you are probably a good candidate for laser hair removal. The most dramatic results occur for patients with light skin and dark hair, but TKS makes it possible for patients with darker skin to receive greater benefits from the procedure. Other factors can influence the treatment process, and are evaluated during your initial consultation.

Is the treatment painful?

Most patients describe the treatment as a series of slight pin pricks to the skin. The majority of patients tolerate this sensation without requiring anesthetics. Within about 30 minutes of treatment, the area may become pink or red, and this may last from a few hours to one day.

How many treatments are required?

Hair grows in cycles. The laser only affects hair when it is in its early-growth phase. The laser will disable follicles that are actively producing hair at the time of the treatment. At any time, some hair follicles are dormant. Repeat sessions will treat these follicles when they re-enter the growth phase.
