February 14, 2001
The Centre, P.C. has become the first and only treatment Centre in Michiana to acquire the Candela GentleLASE® hair removal system. The new long-pulse alexandrite laser with integrated cool comfort dynamic cooling performs fast, efficient and comfortable hair removal.
The Centre, P.C., commented, "The Candela GentleLASE is a significant addition to our cosmetic laser service, allowing us to provide the latest laser technology and the best method of removing hair gently and effectively. The nonsurgical laser procedure is performed conveniently in the office. And with its proprietary dynamic cooling, patients can have large areas treated relatively quickly and comfortably."
Traditional hair removal techniques, such as shaving, plucking and waxing, provide only temporary relief. Until now, the only semi-permanent way to remove hair has been by electrolysis—which can be painful and time-consuming, and is limited to small cosmetic areas. Scarring, allergic reactions and ingrown hairs are common side effects of all these hair removal methods. The GentleLASE safely removes unwanted body hair without damaging the delicate pores and structures of the skin. Facial and bikini areas are usually completed in less than 10 minutes; legs and larger areas can take longer.
In addition, GentleLASE protects the skin through the use of a dynamic cooling process in which a cryogen is sprayed onto the skin, cooling the upper layers and providing increased comfort. This selectivity helps to protect the skin, while effectively treating the unwanted hair.
Approximately 70 percent of U.S. women use one or more methods of hair removal. An estimated one million choose electrolysis, while an estimated 80 million utilize depilatories, such as shaving and waxing. The new Candela GentleLASE offers patients an effective alternative to other hair removal methods. The treatment is faster, comfortable and affordable.
