You will never again have the embarrassment or inconvenience of constantly shaving or waxing! Save time and money- and have the confidence of soft, sexy, hair free skin.

Men and women with unwanted body hair spend countless hours on temporary hair removal methods -- including shaving, waxing, applying chemical depilatories, and tweezing.
Now there is a solution- Imagine never having to shave or wax again!

Laser hair removal is the fastest and safest method for permanent hair removal. The laser works by sending energy into the pigment of the hair shaft, which is absorbed by the surrounding follicle. The heat generated by this process damages the follicle and stops hair production.

Laser hair removal is appropriate for any area where there is excess hair, with the important exception of the eye area. Since the laser works on more than one follicle at a time, larger areas like the back, arms or legs are just as easily treatable as smaller areas like the upper lip or bikini line.

Brite Smile Brite Skin Med Spa has the most effective laser hair removal technology- our lasers can treat offers all skin colors and almost all hair types and colors. Our experienced team of laser hair removal specialist would be pleased to provide you with a complimentary SKIN CARE CONSULTATION demonstrate our technology and provide you with a free test spot to ensure that laser hair removal is the right choice for you.

How are the treatments performed?


The initial consultation:
Our laser technologist will advise you on what to expect from laser treatment and will explain the different options available to you, the procedure itself, and its risks and limitations. Test spots may be performed to determine whether your hair will respond favorably to the laser.

The treatment:
During the procedure you’ll feel the lasers gentle light on the skin as the laser is absorbed by the hair follicles. Each pulse of the laser lasts a fraction of a second and treats an area of approximately ? inch. Our lasers are equipped with a cooling system to decrease skin temperature to preventing burns from the heat generated by the laser.

How long do the treatments take?

The treatment time can vary considerably depending on the size of the area treated, and the particular technique used. A small area such as the upper lip may take only five minutes, while a larger area like the back or legs may take up to one hour.

Since the laser affects only those hairs in the growing stage, and not all hairs will be in this stage at the same time, several treatments will most likely be needed to effectively remove all the hair from one area. Subsequent sessions will be scheduled at least a month apart, when you will probably begin to notice the re-growth of hairs that were previously in the resting stage.

What can I expect afterward?

Following the procedure the area may be red or swollen, as if mildly sunburned. Occasionally, the skin in the treated area becomes slightly crusty, but this reaction should fade within a few days.

Although you can resume your normal activities, you should avoid exposing the treated area to the sun. Clean the area with mild soap and water and do not use any products that may irritate the skin (such as Retin-A or astringents).

You’ll notice hair “growing” in the area within ten days of your treatment. This is actually the damaged hair falling out, rather than re-growth. You may shave these hairs if they bother you, but do not wax, tweeze, or bleach hairs between sessions.

If you have a dark complexion, you may notice a temporary lightening of the skin in the area. Although most patients are satisfied with the results of laser hair removal, it is impossible to predict the success of the treatment for each individual. The resiliency of hair follicles in different parts of the body and in different individuals can vary widely. Multiple treatments are usually needed to reduce the amount of unwanted hair permanently.
