The Solution for
Ingrown Hairs

laser man's back

Just imagine no more shaving, waxing and tweezing.
No more ingrown hairs.....just smooth skin.

Imagine hair growth issues caused by PCOS or hormones solved. We've got the solution. It is time to feel good about yourself.

With cutting edge laser IPL hair removal you can say good bye to unwanted hair in just 4 to 8 comfortable treatments. Forget about razor burn and ingrown hairs. Our Laser IPL is the cure!

Skinfluentials uses laser IPL Intense Pulsed Light technology to permanently reduce hair growth quickly and comfortably. Our laser works by pulsing light energy into the skin. The light is absorbed by the dark pigment in the hair and at the base of the hair follicle. Once absorbed, the light is converted into thermal energy, creating heat and destroying the source of hair growth. Thus, the hair follicle can no longer grow a hair.

Because of the cycles of hair growth, a series of treatments is required to totally eliminate the hair problem. Hormonally stimulated hair may require an inexpensive maintenance plan.

For safety, comfort and efficacy, our laser utilizes a sapphire tip for contact cooling through out your treatment. This patented technology brings chilled water to the surface of the skin, lowering the temperature of the skin and allowing more energy to safely be released.

Because our LASER IPL system utilizes cutting edge technology and is the most powerful system in the world, we are able to provide our clients with unbelievably comfortable, safe, effective and fast treatments. We have a proven track record of treatment results and a long list of satisfied clients.

Our equipment is stationary, remaining at one location, and is available for services every business day. We have two hair removal rooms.

Treatments are provided exclusively by our two registered electrologists who are also certified in laser hair removal and IPL. They have decades of experience in providing permanent hair removal treatments.
The skill of the operators in applying the laser IPL treatments has a direct effect on the results you will receive. If you don't really need laser, we can offer a cost-effective alternative.

Payment plans available.

What is laser hair removal?
Laser hair removal is a procedure that uses the energy of a pulsed light to destroy the source of hair growth. It goes through the skin and is attracted to dark colored pigment. Once the energy is absorbed by the hair and follicle, a thermal reaction takes place that renders the follicle inactive.

Is it a one time thing?
No, laser hair removal, just like electrolysis, requires a series of treatments. Because of the various cycles of hair growth, all the hairs do not appear at the surface of the skin at the same time. It can take several months before all the hairs come to the surface of the skin to be treated for the first time.

How often do I have to come for treatments?
Because of the stages of hair growth, it is extremely important that your treatments are scheduled consistently to make sure all the hairs get treated at the new hair growth cycle. For the face, treatments are scheduled 4-6 weeks apart. For the body, 6-8 weeks is recommended.

Can anyone have laser hair removal treatments?
NO. Laser hair removal and IPL is for selected individuals. It is effective on hair that contains dark pigment. It is not effective on white, blonde, or red hair. Very dark skinned individuals are not candidates, although our IPL laser allows us to treat some darker skin toned clients. We would have to test patch you. If you also have white hair on the area to be treated, electrolysis is the only solution.

I get bad ingrown hairs. Can laser IPL help?
Yes. We have had wonderful results with clients complaining of ingrown hairs. It works great for ingrown hairs in the bikini area, neckline, under arms, face, the list is endless. After just a couple treatments, the results are fabulous. (There is a doctor who has a complete web site on ingrown hair problems. His magical cure is exactly what we do...IPL.)

What if I also have white hair on the area to be treated?
What good is the treatment if you still end up with white hairs? The only option for white hair is electrolysis. We often have clients come in and have electrolysis for the few white hairs before their laser IPL treatment.

Can the white peach fuzz on my face be treated?
No, DO NOT BE MISLED. If a hair is white or blond, it must have some pigment in it in order for the light source to be attracted to it. The dark pigment in hair and the pigment found deeper in the hair follicle allows enough thermo injury to occur, damaging the source of the growth and preventing future regrowth. TREATING A HAIR AND MAKING IT FALL OUT vs .PERMANENTLY DESTROYING THE SOURCE OF GROWTH ARE NOT THE SAME. The clients with skin tones and hair colors that do not qualify for laser can get permanent results with electrolysis, the universal method of hair removal that does not discriminate.

Rest Assured...Hair Removal is our business. We love what we do. We have been providing permanent hair removal for more than three decades. We know the business like no one else does Should you purchase a series of treatments, we will be here to fulfill your purchase. Should you need more than just laser to complete your permanent hair removal needs, we've got it. . Permanent Hair Removal since 1975.

What to expect:

~ Treatments are only given after the client has had a thorough consultation.

~ Because of our patended cooling technology and smooth pulse technology, our treatments are most comfortable and do not require any additional desensitizing agents as many traditional laser hair removal devices do.

~ You will first feel the cooling of the skin and then the application of the laser light. While pain tolerance is subjective, most clients describe the feeling as "a slight sensation" and some "less than the snapping of a small rubber band". It should never be too uncomfortable.

~The area to be treated will be shaved. This allows all the energy to be directed to the hair below the skin where the source of growth is located. In 2 to 3 weeks the hairs will all fall out.

Benefits:

~ End ingrown hair problems

~ End the need for shaving, waxing or tweezing.

~ Hair is permanently reduced. It reduces the texture and amount of the hairs.

~ No down time.

Things to know:

~ Redness may occur, but will go away a few minutes to a few hours after treatment.
(We have after treatment instructions explaining this in greater detail).

~ If the hair problem is hormonal, an inexpensive maintenance program may be required.
This will be discussed during the consultation.

~ If pregnant - no treatments. Hair removal may continue with electrolysis if physician gives permission, we've been doing that for decades.

~ Positively no tanning, sun exposure or use of sunless tanning products.
We recommend SPF30.

~ You may shave between treatments. No tweezing or waxing. The hair is the target. No hair = no target.

~ It is not effective on blonde, white or red hair.

~ If you have black skin, you are not a candidate for laser IPL. Electrolysis would be your solution.

~ Expect an average of 4 - 6 treatments for facial hair and 6 - 8 treatments for body parts.

How do I prepare for Laser Hair Removal?

~ Do not wax, tweeze, or epilate for 4 to 6 weeks before first treatment.

~ Positively no tanning for 4 to 6 weeks before treatments. Recent sun exporsure may delay treatments.

~ If you have a history of herpes of genitalis, prior to laser hair removal, phophylactic antiviral therapy is required.

Customer Testimonials

I have been a client of June's for years and want to give a big THANK YOU for starting to offer IPL hair removal. I had tried electrolysis - it worked quite well but nothing compared to the results I have gotten with IPL. After just two treatments, I saw a huge difference...my hair was much finer and I saw less regrowth after just a few treatments. I have had my arms, underarms, and bikini area treated and it is amazing! It is not uncomfortable at all to have done, does not take a lot of time, and is affordable. I tell everyone about it! I am so grateful to not have to shave every day - I have dark, thick hair and always got a rash after shaving. After just one treatment of IPL, I no longer got a rash which was worth it to me! June and her staff are wonderful and I am grateful for the services that they offer and for their professionalism. Thanks so much!

~MP

Laser light has been a great experience for me with remarkable results. June is wonderful and makes you feel very comfortable during the procedure. What a great investment!!!

~Sandy

The laser hair removal treatments at Skinfluentials exceeded my hopes and expectations! The treatments were effective, affordable, and virtually pain-free! I am very pleased with the results, and I would enthusiastically recommend them to anyone looking for an alternative to the daily chore of shaving or for those looking to get rid of hair in those unwanted places.

~MJ

Thank you, thank you, thank you! This will be the first summer that I will not have to worry about any of my excess hair! You and your magical light machine have worked better than I could have ever dreamed! When you did the light treatment on my upper lip and facial hair, I couldn't believe the results! For years, I have suffered through bleaching and waxing, only to have to do it again and again. Once you did the light treatment on me, the results were incredible! What's even better is that I don't have to worry about razor stubble and the unsightly red bumps from shaving my underarms and bikini line! I can honestly say that I won't be worried about facial hair, my underarms, or my bikini line ever again!

~AG

P.S. - My sister was so impressed that she has started the light treatment with you as well and her husband wants it done on the back of his neck so that his dress shirts won't irritate the ingrown hairs.

I just wanted to tell you how wonderful it is to get a little time back out of my days, thanks to the IPL treatments you have given me. With a growing family, I really don't have time to spend in the shower shaving! I now have more time for more important things - like the kids! Thank you for making it affordable with such a reasonable payment plan also!

~KG

I just want to thank you so much for my laser light hair removal treatments on my bikini line. I have such sensitive Irish skin that every thing irritates it and shaving was worse. I would have such bad razor bumps and ingrown hairs, it was embarrassing. Now I have no bumps or ingrown hairs. Thank you so much. You have boosted my beach confidence and made me feel a whole lot better. Thank you!!!

Safety Tips
When considering light-based hair removal, Skinfluentials recommends the following tips:

Seek out a licensed professional with appropriate training. Electrologists are the only professionals licensed to perform permanent hair removal with over 1100 hours of training. To perform laser light hair removal, advanced training is required. Both modalities are often required to totally complete the task.
Ask about the number of hair removal cases they have performed. It is the skill of the operator that determines the success of the treatments.
Request to see before and after photographs of treated patients.
Ensure they are available for follow-up care and treatments. How long have they been offering these services? Will they still be available to complete your series of treatments when their laser lease or office lease expires? Some providers lease the equipment for a limited time and often opt to not renew the lease when it expires, leaving the patient/clients without treatment availability.
Make sure treatment is administered in a clean, private and professional setting.
Expect a thorough consultation detailing how it works, what you can expect from treatments, determining how suitable you are for safe and successful treatments, and what the cost will be. If your skin tone is on the darker side, expect a test patch to be performed. A maintenance program should be available.
