Hair Removal: Depending on the location, skin and hair type your skin specialist will evaluate the most appropriate procedure. The laser beam or flashes of light are selectively absorbed by hair follicles lying below the surface of the skin. The absorbed energy heats the hair, which damages or disables the follicle without affecting the surrounding tissue.

Treatment of other skin conditions: Besides hair removal on all skin types, Xlase LLT offers a complete range of specialist aesthetic procedures: vascular and pigmented lesions, acne and skin rejuvenation. Tailor-made treatments allow excellent results on redness of the skin and flushing of the face, neck and chest. In addition, treatment improves the visible signs of ageing, acne and rosacea by reducing fine wrinkles, enlarged pores, open capillaries and irregular pigmentation.

What happens during treatment: After trimming the hair above the skin, you will be asked to wear specific glasses to protect the eyes from light or laser emission. The skin is cleansed and a thin layer of protective gel is applied. The Xlase LLT hand-piece is placed on the skin and according to the procedure chosen, pulses of light or the laser beam is emitted. When the gel is removed, most of the hair is wiped off with it. Any remaining hair falls out over the next week or two.

What kind of results should be expected and how many treatments may be needed: Xlase LLT has been medically proven to create a permanent reduction of hair follicles after each treatment and to improve skin appearance and texture in most skin conditions. The number of treatments required depends on the individual. A customized treatment program will be designed for you along with an estimate of how many treatments you may need in order to meet your expectations. On average you should expect to be treated at least 5 to 8 times before full clearing occurs.
