What is the Difference between Laser, IPL and LHE Hair Removal ?

LHE is a type of IPL technology. The difference between traditional laser hair removal and LHE hair removal is that LHE is much less invasive, does not require recovery time, and is virtually pain free. The other positive difference is that LHE hair removal is also much faster thus requiring much less time in the chair and much more time to enjoy the day and your new hair free body.

Even though LHE allowes for shorter treatment times it does not eliminate the need for multiple treatments as hair grows in different stages. This causes the need for 3-6 treatments depending on the body part.

Is it permanent?

Most people enjoy permanent hair removal. The heat and light destroy the follicle so it can no longer grow. However, hormone changes and different medicines can cause other hair follicles that were previously dormant to start new growth, as with any permanent hair removal system

How much does it cost and do I need more than one treatment?

Our prices are listed on our NH LaserCare Pricing Page and there are no consultation fees associated with the treatments. Because the hair follicle can only be destroyed while it is in the anagen phase of growth (still growing), and only about 10% - 30% of your hair is in this stage at any given time. So while you can see results after the first treatment, it usually takes 4 - 10 treatments to get the results you want by destroying the follicle while it is in the anagen phase.

How long does it take?

A treatment can last from 10 minutes for an upper lip, to a little over an hour for the upper and lower legs. Be sure to ask about your specific treatment so you can allow for enough time.
