BALD'SLASER HAIR REMOVAL

Yes, laser hair removal can be permanent.

However, since not all hairs actively grow at the same time, a single procedure will not treat all of the hair follicles in the area.

As the follicles in the transitional and resting periods return to the active growth phase, you may notice some hair regrowth, but it will not be as thick as it was before the treatment.

This regrowth will become thinner and lighter with each subsequent treatment until there is little to no hair at all.

Laser treatments do cause some pain, but our nitrous oxide services make the treatment painless.

Yes, laser hair removal is safe. Plus, treatments are quick and easy, letting you get back to your life in a matter of minutes.

According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, laser hair removal is the 3rd most performed non-surgical cosmetic treatment in the US today.

To understand how laser hair removal works, it’s helpful to understand how your hair grows. Hair grows from deep within hair follicles, which are embedded in the skin. Hair does not grow continuously, but in a three-phase cycle.

1. Anagen Phase. This is the phase when your hair is actively growing, and typically lasts for several months. It is the best phase for laser hair removal.
2. Catagen Phase. During this brief phase, the hair bulb regresses and begins to shrink.
3. Telogen Phase. The final phase is a resting phase, which lasts a few months. During this phase, the hair is released from the follicle, and once complete, the hair will restart at the Anagen growth phase.

While the rate of hair growth differs by individual, the length of the hair growth cycle generally depends on the type of hair. For example, the active growth phase of the hair on your head may last several years, while hair on the body has an active growth phase that may last only a few months.

During laser hair removal, a laser device emits light energy that travels through the skin and is absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicle and hair shaft. Pigments are the substances that give skin and hair their color. The light energy emitted by the laser damages the hair follicle, impairing its ability to grow.

Hair follicles that are in the Anagen (active growth) phase, have more pigment and absorb more energy, and typically respond best to treatments. For this reason, it takes multiple treatments to achieve the best results – it’s important to “catch” your hair in this active growth phase when you are receiving treatments.

At BALD, laser hair removal is virtually pain free as we use nitrous oxide to manage the discomfort caused by the laser. If you’re looking for a pain free laser experience, you’ve come to the only place that can help.

To get ready for laser hair removal at BALD, please do the following:

1. Shave the area being treated prior to your appointment.
2. Discontinue all waxing, plucking, and tweezing on the areas receiving treatment 6 weeks before and during your sessions.
3. Discontinue excessive UV exposure, tanning and tanning creams on the areas receiving treatment 4 weeks prior to your appointment.

The Vectus® Laser can be safely used on all skin types from very light skin to very dark skin. It is best if the hair is black or brown, however, please speak with us so we can determine if you are a good candidate for the procedure based on a variety of factors.

This form of hair removal is permanent. Hair follicles in the Anagen phase, or growth phase, are targeted by the laser. After treatment, those follicles are permanently unable to produce new hairs, or can produce only very thin, tiny hairs that are virtually invisible.
