At Body Beautiful, it is our goal to provide a safe treatment and establish good rapport with all patients; therefore we provide physician supervision for all of our cosmetic procedures. Patients can easily consult with our on-site physician(s) about any of their concerns at each visit. Patients are seen not only for the initial consultation, but also at each visit, in order to ensure that we are meeting each individual's needs.

We believe that it is very important for our patients to first understand their skin conditions and discover what cosmetic procedures and skin care products are effective to treat their problems. That's why our physicians are providing free consultations to all patients visiting for the first time. During this free consultation, one of our physicians will educate the patient about his/her skin type and condition. From there, we will design a customized treatment package that provides for the optimal result.

That's the benefit of a Laser Medical Spa. Professional, medical treatment in a spa-like atmosphere. You've found the ultimate skin care and aesthetic treatments at Body Beautiful. We would be pleased to see you. Simply give us a call at (724) 987-3221 to arrange a free consultation with one of our physicians or staff.

Laser Hair Removal
Permanent Hair Reduction Through Pulsed Light

The Old Solution

If you live with unwanted hair, you've probably tried some of the typical solutions, such as shaving, waxing, and electrolysis. If so, you've also found that:

Shaving is a daily nuisance.
Waxing is painful and only a short-term solution.
Electrolysis is effective, but since it only treats one hair follicle at a time, it's not practical for large areas and is extremely time-consuming.

The Pulsed Light Alternative
We offer a lasting solution for unwanted hair.

Permanent: Concentrated pulses of light loosen the hair and disable the cells responsible for new hair growth.

Fast: Small areas, such as the underarms or upper lip, can be treated in 10 minutes or less, and even large areas, like the back or legs, can be treated in under a half hour.

Comfortable: Various cooling methods keep the light pulses mild and skin-safe, allowing for more comfortable treatments then electrolysis and waxing.

Convenient: Unlike waxing, there is no need to let hair grow out between treatments. You can remain hair free all the time.

Candela, LyraScope, Syneron, Thor, I-Brite, Lumenis Lightsheer Diode Lasers offer safe and effective treatments on all skin types including tanned skin, broadest range hair colors, diameters and depths. The recognized "Gold Standards" for hair & vein reduction, this family of laser systems represents quintessential state-of-the-art package.

F.A.Q.'s

Q: How does pulsed light work?

A: We use specialized handpieces which filter light from different parts of the spectrum. Each band of the spectrum has a wavelength that is ideal for different treatments, such as hair reduction, sunspot removal, and acne treatment. The hair removal handpieces emit pulses of light into the hair follicles. The light is absorbed by the pigment in the follicles and converted to heat. The heat then loosens the hair and disables the cells responsible for growing new hair.

Q: How is pulsed light different from a laser?

A: Pulsed light systems and lasers are very similar, but our pulsed light systems use a much larger treatment window than most lasers. This spreads light over a wide area of skin and allows faster coverage of the skin and quicker treatments as a result.

Q: What body areas can I get treated?
A: Any area, except directly around the eyes. The upper lip, face, neck, underarms, bikini line, legs, chest & back can all be treated.

Q: What are the treatments like? What should I expect after the treatment?

A: Your treatment provider will move the handpiece over your skin, pulsing it all the while. Each pulse will send a beam of light through the skin. A flashing light, an audible tone, and a mild sensation on the skin will tell you when the handpiece is being pulsed. Immediately after treatment, you can expect a mild sunburn-like sensation, possibly accompanied by some minor swelling. This usually last 2-24 hours, and can be soothed with cold gel or ice packs. The treated hair will continue to appear for 7-30 days post-treatment. This is not new hair growth, but the treated hairs being expelled from the skin. At any given time, some of your hair is not in a phase of active growth. Hence, you will need more than one treatment to affect the growth of all your unwanted hair.
