This method ensures consistent and thorough heating of hair follicles while minimizing missed areas compared to traditional static devices
Laser Hair Reduction
Benefits of Laser Hair Removal with Sciton BroadBand Light (BBL)
Comfortable Treatments: Our laser hair removal system uses a sapphire chill tip to keep the skin cool and comfortable throughout your session. Most patients describe the feeling as a mild warmth or light prickling—significantly less discomfort than traditional laser hair removal.
Fast & Efficient: Thanks to In-Motion technology, treatments are quick and convenient. Small areas (like the upper lip or underarms) can take as little as 5–15 minutes, while larger areas (like the legs or back) are completed faster than with older, static laser systems.
Even, Consistent Coverage: The device delivers rapid, low-fluence light pulses while moving continuously over the skin, reducing the chance of missed spots—a common issue with outdated IPL or laser technology.
Long-Lasting Hair Reduction: With 3–6 sessions, most patients see 80–90% permanent hair reduction. Any regrowth is typically finer and lighter in color, and occasional maintenance sessions can help preserve smooth, hair-free skin.
Safe for a Wide Range of Skin Types: Our advanced cooling and precision energy settings make treatments suitable for Fitzpatrick skin types I–V, minimizing the risk of burns or hyperpigmentation when performed by trained professionals.
No Downtime: You can return to normal activities immediately after your appointment. Temporary redness or warmth usually fades within a few hours.
Treats Multiple Areas: Safe and effective for almost any area, including the face, underarms, bikini line, legs, arms, back, chest, and neck.
Advanced BBL Technology: We use the Sciton BroadBand Light (BBL) system, which offers more precise, customizable treatments than traditional IPL devices, ensuring effective results tailored to your skin and hair type.
Possible Side Effects
While laser hair removal is generally well-tolerated, some temporary effects may occur:
Common reactions: Mild redness, warmth, or swelling (similar to a sunburn) that typically resolves within hours to days.
Follicular response: Small red bumps around hair follicles may appear for up to 2 weeks; OTC hydrocortisone can help soothe irritation.
Pigment changes: Temporary hyperpigmentation or, rarely, blistering may occur—especially with unprotected sun exposure post-treatment.
Hair color limitations: Blonde, gray, or white hairs absorb less light and may not respond effectively.
Rare risks: Changes in skin texture or melasma-like pigmentation are uncommon and patient-dependent.
Recovery & Aftercare
Immediately after treatment: Apply a cool compress (10–20 minutes) for comfort. OTC pain relief (ibuprofen or acetaminophen) may be used if needed.
Skin care: Avoid makeup, lotions, or deodorant on treated areas for 24 hours; cleanse gently for the first 48 hours.
Sun protection: Avoid tanning and sun exposure for at least 4 weeks before and after each session. Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen daily.
Hair shedding: Treated hairs may appear to grow before falling out between 7–14 days post-treatment. Shaving is permitted after ~3 days.
Treatment frequency: Sessions are spaced 4–6 weeks apart; most patients require 3–6 treatments for optimal results.
Who is an Ideal Candidate?
Skin tone: Works best on fair to medium skin tones (Fitzpatrick I–III), though advanced settings can treat some darker tones (IV–V) with caution.
Hair type: Most effective on dark, coarse hair (brown or black). Light blonde, white, or gray hairs are less responsive.
Hair growth cycle: Multiple sessions are required to target hair during its active growth (anagen) phase.
Overall health: Candidates should be in good general health, free of skin conditions that may react poorly to light, and have realistic expectations for gradual, progressive results.
