FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is Advanced Fluorescent Light Hair Removal?
Advanced fluorescent technology is a new long term hair removal method. A client sits of lies in a comfortable position, and then a technical glides a wand-like tool, or handpiece, over his or her skin. The handpiece emits a beam of specially filtered light, which is absorbed by the hair and converted to heat. This heat disintegrates the hair and disables the hair follicle.

Is the treatment safe?
Yes, it is very safe. Some people may experience mild reddening of the treatment area for a day or so after the treatment, but other complications are rare. The Advanced Fluorescent Technology delivers energy to the skin very gently. Plus, the Zimmer cooling system extracts heat from the skin during each pulse of light for maximum protection.

Does it hurt?
No. The light is selectively absorbed by the hair and hair follicles. The skin itself is exposed to very little heat. Plus, no irritating chemicals are used, and the hairs aren’t pulled on in any way. We add cooled gel and the Zimmer cooling system.

How long does the hair stay away?
Hair may never return at all. The exact amount of time that the hair stays away depends on the area being treated, the settings selected by the technician, and individual hair and skin factors. Depending on the settings used by the technician in accordance with the client request, hair removal may either be permanent or for a certain period of time. Repeat when it becomes visible again.

Almost any area of the body can be treated: the legs, back, upper lip, chin, underarms, back of the neck, bikini line, etc.
