Fastest Laser Hair Removal in Richmond, VA

We use the Palomar Vectus laser, which is one of the fastest and safest lasers available for laser hair removal in Richmond. It uses what is known as a diode laser and is safe for all skin types and tones, dark or light. The Vectus laser uses a very unique technology known as the Skintel Melanin Reader to ensure the highest level of safety and efficacy. This is the only FDA cleared melanin reader on the market. The Skintel measures the exact amount of pigment in the skin surrounding the hair, then selects the safest and most effective laser settings for hair removal. The laser works by targeting the color pigment within the hair follicle, which is called melanin. Because the laser is only targeting the hair follicle, it is safe for the surrounding skin. Hair goes through growth and rest cycles known as anagen, catagen, and telogen phases. Laser hair removal only works on hair that is in the anagen, or growth phase. Hair in a particular area on our bodies is in any of these particular phases on a particular day. When you come for laser hair removal, only the hair that is in the anagen phase will respond to the treatment. This is why it takes multiple treatment sessions until complete hair reduction can occur.
