Questions & Answers
Question

What is laser hair therapy?

 

Answer

The LLLT (low level light therapy) Therapy Unit is the most innovative laser system available in today's market for hair therapy offering sleek and brilliant design coupled with the latest technology.
 
Question
What does laser hair therapy do?
Answer

The LLLT Therapy Unit was designed to create a cleaner and healthier environment for the hair and scalp using light energy.

Light energy, when delivered at a low power frequency at different wavelengths, has a bio-stimulating effect on the body. Red light, visible to the human eye, is delivered at 660 nanometers and provides topical heat and massages the scalp allowing the pores to open. Infrared light, invisible to the human eye, is delivered at 940 nanometers and transmits deeper beyond the scalp reaching the cell structure below. The infrared light increases cellular metabolism, blood circulation and the supply of oxygen. The synergistic effect created by the two forms of light allows for an effective producer application and gives the hair its best chance for a healthy growth cycle.

LLLT helps to heal the scalp from the inside by increasing the circulation which in turn promotes healthy hair growth.

Question
What is a treatment like?
Answer


 LLLT hair therapy involves sitting under the laser unit for approximately 30 minutes. The frequency and the number of treatments varies depending on the extent of your hair loss. Our trained laser technicians will determine the course of treatments following your free hair and scalp evaluation.

We offer flexible hours for your convenience. Many clients look forward to their appointments where they can sit back, relax and enjoy some quiet time.

Question
 Is LLLT hair therapy expensive?
Answer
When compared to ongoing chemical solutions for hair loss, such as Minoxodil or Rogain you will find LLLT very cost effective. Unlike chemical treatments the effects of LLLT therapy do not disappear when the treatments stop
Question
How does pulsed light hair removal work?
Answer
The pulse light hair removal handpieces emit pulses of light into the hair follicles.  The light is absorbed by the pigment in the follicles and converted to heat.  The heat then loosens the hair and disables the cells responsible for growing new hair.
Question
How is pulsed light different from laser?
Answer
Pulsed light systems and lasers are very similar, but pulsed light systems use a much larger treatment window than most lasers.  This spreads light over a wider area of skin and allows faster coverage of the skin and quicker treatments as a result.
Question
What body areas can I get treated?
Answer
Any area, except around the eyes.  The upper lip, face, neck, underarms, bikini line, legs, chest and back can all be treated!
Question

What are treatments like?
Answer
Your treatment provider will move the handpiece over your skin, pulsing it all the while.  Each pulse will send a beam of light through your skin.  A flashing light, and audible tone, and a mild sensation on the skin will tell you when the handpiece is being pulsed.
Question

What should I expect after treatment?
Answer

Immediately after treatment, you can expect a mild sunburn-like sensatioin, possibly accompanied by some minor swelling.  This usually lasts 2-24 hours, and can be soothed with cold gel or ice packs.  The treated hair will continue to appear 7-30 days post treatment.  This is no new hair growth, but the treated hairs being expelled from the skin.  Typically several treatments will be necessary to achieve permanent hair reduction.
