Laser Hair Removal

 

 

In the past, the energies used in laser hair removal procedures prevented people with certain hair and skin colors from receiving treatments as they could only treat extremely light skin with extremely dark hair.  The Cynosure Apogee Elite contains two laser systems – a 755 nm Alexandrite laser and a high powered 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser – these are the most optimal wavelengths for hair removal. Please click our pricing button to learn about laser hair removal cost.

By providing two different wavelengths, the Apogee Elite laser can be used to treat patients with all types of skin. The addition of the YAG laser allows us to treat patients with darker skin types for excessive hair growth, especially of the face, armpits and bikini lines. Patients with pseudofolliculitis (razor bumps) on the beard, face or neck now have this option to consider.

DO YOUR RESEARCHWhy pay almost 3 to 4 times the amount for a series of laser hair removal treatments from a facility that does not show you their pricing and makes you sign a contract when you purchase? National laser hair removal companies try to bait and switch clients with low initial offers and have sales closers who are not licensed estheticians to sign you up for unnecessary treatments. Don’t be tricked into paying exorbitant prices for laser hair treatments and compare our SERIES PRICING. Do not be confused by marketing terms like ‘permanent’ or ‘guaranteed’ as they will  require long term commitments with substantial financial burden.

When used for hair removal, the Apogee Elite laser affects only hair follicles which are currently active or growing (anagen), thus subsequent treatments may be required to eliminate the previously exhausted (catagen) or resting (telogen) follicles as they resume production. Hair removal treatments are relatively painless and leave no textural skin changes or the scarring commonly seen with needle electrolysis. The Apogee laser also incorporates the use of the Smart Cool system by Cynosure. This system utilizes a “double cooling” technique which uses the body’s natural cooling process in conjunction with a specifically engineered external cooling system. The Smart Cool system is used with the laser to minimize patient discomfort during treatment. Time is money in today’s world. How much are 58.4 days worth to you? Call Skinlogic Med Spa today to schedule a personalized consultation, and win back some of that wasted time and energy. 

Our packages are sold as a series of 6. One package is recommended at a minimum with touch ups provided at a 50% discount.

Frequently asked questions about Laser Hair Removal

Laser Hair Removal Bikini Treatments

The Bikini Line

laser hair removal bikini line
The bikini line is very simple & it hurts the least. This treatment is best described as the cleanup of the sides, the hair exposed while wearing a swimsuit.

The Full Bikini

laser hair removal full bikini
The full bikini starts off like a bikini line but includes the option of shaping the top of the triangle & goes a little deeper into the sides.

Full Bikini Extended


The full bikini extended gives you the option of removing beyond the full bikini lines but does not include the white area (labia).

 

The Brazilian

 

 

 

 

 

The brazilian gives the option of removing absolutely everything. All of the hair in front, back & in between is removed, leave a landing strip or bare it all (the ‘triangle’ on top is probably the most sensitive part despite what you might think about the more southern regions).
