What is Laser Hair Removal?

We use a state-of-the-art laser hair removal system called SPLENDOR X that uses BLEND X technology, combining the Alexandrite and Nd:YAG wavelengths to target hair follicles at their root by destroying melanin, the pigment in the hair. This dual-wavelength approach allows for greater flexibility in treating different skin tones and hair types while ensuring that larger areas can be covered more quickly and efficiently than traditional laser technology.

It also features a laser light that is uniquely square-shaped to cover every inch of skin being treated. The Dual Cooling System (DCS) combines a cooled tip and air to protect your skin and provides a comfortable treatment. This technology can also treat pigmented and vascular lesions and rejuvenate skin without downtime.

Benefits of Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal offers a range of benefits for patients seeking permanent hair reduction, including:

Faster Treatments: Large treatment areas can be covered more quickly, reducing session times.
Versatile for All Skin Tones: The dual wavelengths make this system safe and effective for all skin types, including darker tones.¹
Long-Lasting Results: Once the hair follicles are destroyed, they will no longer produce hair, leading to permanent hair reduction.
Minimal Discomfort: The integrated cooling system ensures that treatments are comfortable, with minimal discomfort during the process.
Fewer Treatments Required: Patients receive optimal results in fewer sessions than traditional laser systems.²

Preparing for Laser Hair Removal

Before your treatment, it’s important to avoid sun exposure and refrain from tanning for at least two weeks. You should also avoid waxing, plucking, or using hair removal creams in the treatment area leading up to your session, as the hair follicles need to be intact for the laser to be effective. Shaving with a razor is acceptable and should be done the day before treatment. Be sure to inform your provider of medications that could increase your skin’s sensitivity.

Recovery After Laser Hair Removal

There is minimal downtime associated with laser hair removal at Mystique. You may experience slight redness or swelling in the treated areas, which should subside within a few hours. Protecting your skin with sunscreen following the treatment and avoiding sun exposure to ensure the best possible results is important. Multiple sessions are recommended for optimal hair reduction, as hair growth happens in cycles, and not all follicles are active simultaneously.
