SILKY, SMOOTH SKIN WITH LASER HAIR REMOVAL
Here at Omni Medspa, we use the Nordlys system. The Nordlys system permanently reduces unwanted hair by delivering short, bursts of light directed at the target site. To ensure good contact with the skin, a thin layer of gel is applied to the skin prior to treatment.
Potentially harmful wavelengths and wavelengths that only heat up water in the skin are removed using both light and water filters. The emitted light is absorbed by pigment (melanin) in your hair. Melanin converts the light into heat, which travels down the hair, toward the root, and heats the hair matrix, preventing future hair growth.
Frequently asked questions
In order to achieve successful laser hair reduction, a series of treatments must be undergone at very precise time intervals. Hair grows in cycles, and those growth cycles vary depending on the part of the body. For example, hair on your face or your underarms grows faster than hair on your legs. To achieve the best treatment results, space out laser hair removal sessions according to the hair cycle growth. Areas on the face require treatments which will occur every 4-6 weeks. Underarms, bikini, or trunk area every 6-8 weeks, while the leg area is every 8-10 weeks.
Patients must be treated during these specific time periods to ensure that the new hair follicle growth is targeted. In order to achieve a 60%-80% reduction, we recommend 6-8 treatments. After your sessions are complete, you will need touch up treatments to maintain your results.

After your treatment, you may experience some redness, swelling, or irritation. Generally, this only lasts for a day. You may notice your hair growth is finer or less frequent after a few treatments. Results will continue to progress with the number of treatments completed. Although rare, burn can occur, which can alter skin pigment and potentially form a scar.

It is important for patients to understand many factors affect hair growth, such as: hormones, genetics, age, medication, and skin color. Everyone responds differently to hair removal based on all these factors. Most patients can expect an average of 60% - 80% reduction at the end of their treatments. You will need touch up treatments in the years to come to maintain your results and for any hair re-growth.
