Laser Hair Removal

 Go Beautifully Bare

       Before you can fully understand the process of laser hair removal, you need to know a few things about hair itself. To begin, many things influence hair growth; your age, ethnicity, weight, metabolism, medication, hormones… each play a role in your hair's resilience, thickness, and areas of growth. Also, your hair grows in cycles; the active or growth (Anagen) phase, the dormant (Catagen) phase, and the fall-out (Telogen) phase. Medical science has determined that the laser effectively treats only the hair in the Anagen (growth) phase, and different areas of the body have different growth cycles. Therefore we must treat each at the specific time it's in the growth phase for the treatment to be effective. This is the very essence of the concept at Rejuvenation. Clinics that offer only one or two treatments or have you return for treatments every four to six weeks regardless of the area being treated are missing the essential part of an effective, long lasting hair removal program.

     Areas of unwanted hair are treated with a focused beam of concentrated laser light which is selectively absorbed by the melanin in the hair, as well as in the surrounding hair follicle. This causes thermal destruction of these hair follicles and disrupts their ability to regenerate, resulting in permanent hair reduction. Unlike electrolysis, which kills one hair follicle at a time, the laser reaches and treats hundreds of follicles at a time.

     All hair grows in cycles that consist of three stages-- the Anagen phase (active growth), Catagen phase (dormant growth) or Telogen phase (fall-out stage). Hair can only be permanently destroyed in the Anagen (active) phase. The heat generated from the laser light seals off the blood vessels to these active hairs. Rejuvenation’s treatment program takes a phased approach to laser hair removal to coincide with this active phase of your hair growth.

     At Rejuvenation, your skin is compressed and cooled with the FDA-approved LightSheer™ Diode. Manufactured by Lumenis™, the nation’s leading manufacturer of aesthetic procedure equipment, the patented ChillTip™ cools before, during and after each laser pulse to protect your skin and make treatments more comfortable. A topical anesthetic is available if you experience any discomfort.
