Laser hair removal is an efficient and often permanent solution for ridding yourself of unwanted hair. Laser hair removal is safe, can be painless and can be used just about anywhere on your body.
We use the Motif laser hair removal system to treat both men and women to reduce the amount of unwanted hair. The treatments vary in duration depending upon the size of the body which needs treatment and are virtually painless. Both dark and light hair are easily treated.
How Does Motif Work?
The Motif laser hair system combines laser technology with radio-frequency (RF) pulses to make the treatments more efficient and effective. This combination allows for lower power settings which, unlike traditional laser therapy options, can result in a painless treatment session.
The laser works in combination with radio-frequency (RF) energy to destroy the hair follicles located beneath the skin. Hair follicles contain a pigment called melanin. By destroying the melanin pigment, the hair follicles are destroyed leading to significant loss of hair and a reduced chance of regrowth.
Other Hair Removal Treatments
There are other methods to remove unwanted hair;
- Shaving – effective, but does not prevent re-growth
- Waxing – can be painful, skin can be irritated and unsightly
- Electrolysis – requires a needle inserted per follicle, tedious, uncomfortable
- Tweezing – tedious and can be painful, not practical for large areas
- Laser Hair Removal – immediately effective, often painless, quick, decreases regrowth
Advantages of Motif Laser Hair
Decreased Regrowth – Laser hair removal treatment is usually very effective at eliminating hair follicles that are in the active growth phase. A series of treatments are recommended based on growth and dormancy rate. With repeated treatments, the chance of re-growth is reduced.
Little Damage to Skin – The Motif laser has a unique cooling mechanism which increases the effectiveness of the laser and reduces damage to surrounding skin. By cooling the target tissue, lower optical energy and RF energy are required for treatments, thus protecting surrounding tissue.
Limited Pain – Most of our patients experience little or no pain. The cooling mechanism reduces thermal pain and injury (burns) to the surrounding skin. Topical creams may be used for sensitive areas.
Treatment Areas – The laser is able to treat multiple follicles with each pulse, thus making it an ideal treatment for both large and small areas of the body.
Hair Color – While results may vary, the combination therapy allows us to treat light and dark hair alike. Furthermore, Motif laser hair removal is safe for all skin tones and ideal for both men and women.
