Just about your entire body is covered with hair. Because most of this hair is fine and pale, it usually isn't visible on face, neck, abdomen, breasts, arms or thighs.

In the past, the usual remedies for unwanted hair were plucking, shaving, waxing, or chemical depilatories. Some are painful, some are messy, and all are temporary. For long-term hair removal, electrolysis was popular but it is painful and slow. Hair by hair, an electric current passed through a needle is used to destroy the hair root. It typically takes months or even years of regular visits - even for small areas. Risks include electrical shock, infection, and pitting or scarring.

Now there's a more effective solution, the new Diode Laser, a state-of the-art system specially designed to remove unwanted hair faster, less painfully, and more reliably than electrolysis.

A laser produces a beam of highly concentrated light. Different types of lasers produce different colors of light. The color of light produced by a particular laser is the key to its effect on hair follicles. The light emitted by the Laser is absorbed by the pigment located in hair follicles. The laser pulses for a fraction of a second, just long enough to vaporize the pigment, disabling several follicles at a time to eliminate or significantly impede the hair's regrowth.
