Remove Unwanted Hair with Laser Hair Removal
Excess and unwanted hair is a common problem. Conventional treatments such as shaving, plucking, waxing and depilatory creams provide temporary removal that is inconvenient, messy and often irritating to the skin. Electrolysis can give good results, but is time-consuming, often painful and only removes hair one at a time. Laser Hair Removal makes the elimination of unwanted hair quick and gentle.
Laser Hair Removal is a breakthrough technology that damages the hair follicle for permanent hair reduction without causing damage to the skin, providing a gentle, non-invasive and long-lasting solution to unwanted hair on any area of the body. Laser Hair Removal works by emitting pulses of intense 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. Rajeunir Medical Spa’s Laser Hair Removal system is the fastest and most effective on the market today.

FAQ's
Daily hair management is time consuming, painful, messy and costly over time. During our lifetime we subject ourselves to painful razor burns, ingrown hairs, chemical burns, waxing, tweezing and electrolysis. With a laser, traditional hair removal becomes obsolete.
Upper lip and chin take as little as 5 minutes. Underarms or bikini areas usually take 15 minutes. Large treatment areas, such as legs and back, require longer sessions.
During the treatment, our Skin Care Specialist will mark the area to be treated, shave the area if necessary, and gently apply the smooth surface of the laser hand-piece over the treatment area.
Most people tolerate the treatments very well without discomfort. Some experience minimal discomfort during the procedure often described as a warm sensation to a slight sting, similar to a rubber band snap.

Pre-Treatment Instructions
- Discontinue sun tanning and the use of tanning beds and self-tanning creams 4 weeks before and throughout the treatment course. This will reduce the chance of skin color changes, and development of new lesions.

- Discontinue use of exfoliating creams such as Retin-A and other skin exfoliating products 2 weeks prior to and during the entire treatment course.
