Not only is this non-invasive treatment quick and virtually painless, but it will help you get rid of unwanted hair for good.

Keep reading to learn all about laser hair removal and what to expect should you decide to undergo treatment.

How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?

Laser hair removal is a safe and effective way for men and women to permanently eliminate unwanted hair with highly-concentrated beams of light.

This energy selectively targets follicles, without affecting skin, and is readily absorbed by melanin in the hair root.

Is it then converted to heat and destroys follicles, leading to slower and finer regrowth.

Customized Laser Hair Removal for All Skin Tones

Cultura appreciates that each individual’s skin is unique. During your initial consultation, we will evaluate your skin’s genetic makeup and lifelong exposure to the sun in order to customize your laser hair removal treatment.

We also offer multiple types of lasers to accommodate the wide variation in skin and hair color to maximize results and ensure your safety.

What to Expect from Laser Hair Removal Treatment?

Laser hair removal is extremely-well tolerated by men and women, and most patients describe the pulses of light as feeling like a rubber band lightly snapping against the skin.

It’s also much more comfortable that other hair removal alternatives like waxing, threading, or electrolysis.

Smaller areas like the face, underarms, bikini line, and neck can be treated in a matter of minutes, while the chest, back, arms, and legs take 30-60 minutes.

Within one-to-three weeks, the destroyed and damaged follicles cause hair to fall out, and patients will experience a period of silky and smooth skin. When hair begins to grow back, it will be finer and you will need to shave far less often.

These results are cumulative over the course of six treatments, which should be spaced six-to-eight weeks apart. Once you complete your series of laser hair removal sessions, you can achieve a 60-90 percent reduction in hair.
