Laser Hair Removal

We offer a faster, gentler way to remove unwanted hair, with long-term results. It applies precisely controlled pulses of energy (electrical and light, with cooling), reaching into the hair follicles that lie beneath the skin. The energy heats the hair, right down to the bottom of the root, destroying it without damaging surrounding tissue or skin.

What does it feel like?

Each pulse, which lasts less than one second, produces a slight tingling feeling. In particularly sensitive areas, such as the upper lip, it may feel like a quick, light pinch.

Is it suitable for everyone?

Aurora enables your doctor to customize the treatment to exactly match your hair and skin color and type. As long as there is some color in your hair (even blond has enough color), then Aurora will be effective.

What about side effects?

The energies used by Aurora (electrical and light) are both commonly used in a range of medical and cosmetic procedures and have proven to be safe. Most people experience no side effects at all, though a few exhibit some short-term local reddening of the surrounding skin. You can return to your regular activities immediately after treatment, although it is advisable to keep the skin protected from exposure to direct sunlight for a short period of time.

How many treatments will I need?

Similar to other technologies, Aurora destroys hairs that are in the active growth phase, so repeat treatments will be needed to target hair that was not affected at the time of the previous treatments. The number of treatments you will need depends on your hair and skin color and type, and the part of your face or body treated. Your doctor can advise you about how long it will take to reach your hair removal goals. (Usually, four to six treatments as required.)

What results can I expect?

Aurora has been proven to be effective long-term hair reduction with each individual treatment. At the end of the treatment program you can expect your skin to remain smooth.

What makes Aurora different?

Uses less energy, which means more safety (particularly if you have dark skin)

Causes fewer, milder side-effects

Is more comfortable before and after treatment

Removes more hair in fewer treatments
