Hair Removal with AFT Pulsed Light - Harmony Laser

Messy, painful and ineffective hair removal methods are now a thing of the past. Today pulsed light with AFT (Advanced Fluorescence Technology) treats unwanted hair with quick and safe bursts of light. Involving no downtime, you can continue with all your regular activities immediately after treatment. Best of all, this non-invasive and effective approach yields permanent hair reduction and long-term hair removal - anywhere on the body - head and face, torso/arms, legs/bikini.

During photoepilation, the pigment (melanin) within hair absorbs the light and converts it into heat. The hair transmits this heat into the hair follicle, which it destroys without damaging the epidermis. Thus, the follicle cannot produce a new hair. All hair follicles go through periods of dormancy and growth. As AFT pulsed light only affects hair follicles that are actively producing hair at the time of treatment, resting follicles must enter the growth phase before they can be effectively treated. For this reason, treatment must be repeated until all hair follicles have passed through the growing phase. Clinical studies indicate that three to six treatments are needed at intervals of between one to three months. Your physician will advise you regarding the optimal number of treatments for you.

The key advantage for patients is a comfortable treatment with little to no irritation, effective permanent reduction of hair and little to no chance of side effects.

Harmony laser procedures for hair removal are considered cosmetic. Our staff will provide you with the cost for the number of treatments your physician recommends at the time of your initial consultation.
