Laser Hair Removal
With the Laserscope Lyra™ Laser
Safe and effective treatments
Loomis Medical Clinic Laser Center
uses the most advanced FDA cleared laser technology for permanent hair
reduction, safely and effectively treating all ethnic origins and skin
types including tanned skin.
Treatments that really work
Laser energy is absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicle while your
hair in the anagen, or active phase of growth: The laser
light is converted into heat, causing thermal damage to the follicle
without harming the surrounding tissue. Hair re-growth is impeded in the
damaged follicle.
Average treatment series
Only 30% or less of your hair may be in the active phase at any one time
depending on the body area. Thus, a series of treatments will be
required to achieve the long-term improvement you desire. These
treatments are spaced approximately 4-12 weeks apart, based on hair
growth cycles. Our extensive experience tells us that you can expect to
need from 3-8 treatments (4-6 is average) to each treatment area for
long lasting optimal results
Typical treatment sessions
Sessions for an upper lip or small bikini area can take as little as 15
minutes, while larger areas on back and legs may require up to 60
minutes or more.
How permanent is Hair Removal?
The average patient in clinical studies sees a 48% reduction in hair
growth after three treatments and up to an 80% lasting reduction after
six to eight treatments (results vary). After you have completed a
series of four to six treatments, any remaining hair will usually be
finer and lighter in color. Most patients require one or two touch-up
treatments per year. Blond, platinum, most red, gray and vellus hair
will not respond to this treatment.
