The process of constantly grooming unwanted hair can become a major hassle very quickly. It is time consuming, costly, and often painful. Wouldn’t it be nice to get rid of this chore once andfor all? With laser hair removal, you can say goodbye to your razor, tweezers, and wax as you enjoy a hair-free existence.
Laser hair removal is a procedure that removes unwanted hair. As the laser passes through your skin, its intense heat damages the hair follicle, slowing future hair growth. Laser hair removal is highly effective at treating unwanted hair. You will generally need several treatment sessions before you can experience long-term results.

Laser Hair Removal Procedure
Your laser hair removal procedure will be performed at Purple Haze Laser Center in Denver , Colorado. Depending on the size of the treatment region, your procedure may take as little 15 min. or up to several hours, (legs take longer than a chin). It is important to remember that you may require multiple sessions to achieve optimal results.
You will want to wait to begin follow-up sessions until hair has started to grow under the skin. The first 4 treatments need to be 4 weeks apart to kill the growth cycle of hair. Follow up treatments can then become 2 or 3 or more months apart depending on many factors which are ethnic background, hormones and medicines.
