A recent scientific advance in medical laser technology gives us a gentler, safer and faster solution to the problem of unwanted hair. It’s called thermokinetic selectivity (TKS) and it’s only available on the Cynosure™ Elite laser, used at Ageless Health.
Our laser removes unwanted hair from the legs, arms, back, shoulders – even from underarms, the upper lip and the bikini area.
Laser therapy (with TKS) is a thoroughly tested, clinically-proven method of hair removal. Treatment is relatively quick, and removes unwanted body hair without damaging the surrounding skin.
Men and women who want to rediscover the ease, beauty and confidence of hair-free skin can now have the attractive appearance they’ve always desired.
How does the laser work?
The laser emits a gentle beam of energy that passes through the skin to the hair follicle. The energy is then transformed into heat, which damages the follicle permanently.
Why is TKS important?
TKS makes it possible for laser energy to “select†only hair follicles, while sparing surrounding skin from damage. Laser technology allows hundreds of hair follicles to be eliminated each second, as opposed to electrolysis that selects only individual follicles, which is a slower process and significantly more painful.
Is the treatment painful?
Most patients describe the treatment as a series of slight pin pricks to the skin. The majority of patients tolerate this sensation without requiring any topical anesthetics. The area may become pink or red and last for a short while.
How many treatments are required?
Hair grows in cycles. The laser only affects hair when it is in its early–growth phase. The laser will disable follicles that are actively producing hair at the time of treatment. At any time, some hair follicles are dormant. Repeat sessions will treat these follicles when they re–enter the growth phase. For satisfactory long lasting hair removal most patients require 4 to 6 treatments.
