How does Laser Hair Removal work?
Hair follicles are precisely targeted and destroyed. (the treated area is unable to grow another hair!)
Barring some illnesses, or hormonal imbalances, these hairs will NOT grow back!
Is Laser Hair Removal right for me?
Quad Cities Illinois/Iowa area Laser Hair Removal is for men and women that have any unwanted hair that they would like removed.
Does it hurt?
Pain tolerance differs person to person. It has been compared to being snapped by a rubber band. This is a no down-time procedure. You may return to normal activities immediately following your procedure.
When can I expect results?
Hair growth is reduced after each treatment. (Not every hair on your body is growing at the same time, so every growing stage must be treated.)
AVERAGE treatments needed: 3-6. Best results will be seen if you receive treatments at regular intervals. (4-6 weeks apart)
