Laser hair removal is a procedure that uses a concentrated beam of light to permanently remove unwanted hair from specific places on the body.  Our Vectus laser emits a light that is absorbed by the melanin in the hair.  The energy is then converted into heat that will damage the papilla or root of the hair.  This damage inhibits or delays the future hair growth.

Unlike tweezing, waxing, or other types of hair removal systems, laser hair removal uses light energy to permanently remove unwanted hair. This works by using a light that absorbs the pigment in the hair follicle.  The light energy then damages the root of the hair that produces the hair.   This laser heats the follicles of the hair, without damaging the pores or the skin. The use of the laser damages the follicle and prevents it from growing new hair, or it produces only very fin, almost invisible hairs.

Like many types of aesthetic treatments, the optimal results from laser hair removal are seen after six treatments. The number of treatments is dependent on the specific skin and hair type, the hair growth cycle, as well as how each patient responds to the treatment.  Vectus emits a powerful light of energy that targets and heats hair follicles. After the treatment, the follicles are damaged and permanently incapable of producing new hairs, or can produce only very thin, tiny hairs that are virtually invisible.

Through the certified and experienced staff at the Renaissance Med Spa, there are few side effects or risks to the Vectus® Laser treatments we offer. Normal side effects include temporary redness or mild “sunburn” like feeling.  Freckling on area may temporarily or permanently disappear from the laser treatment.  Also, some patients may experience hypo or hyperpigmentation on the area being treated. Our aestheticians can provide more information based on your skin and hair during your consultation.

After the first treatment, patients will see a decrease in the amount of hair in the treated area. With later treatments, the hair becomes sparser and thinner, gradually becoming virtually impossible to see or permanently removed.
