Hair Removal

Removing unwanted hair from your face or body is now easier and more comfortable than ever before. Instead of shaving, tweezing, or waxing, and instead of going through painful electrolysis or laser treatments, you can now enjoy comfortable, long-term hair removal. Piny Beverly Hills utilizes the Aurora™ hair removal system. The Aurora™ is the only laser to be FDA approved for removal of silver, white, light blond, or red hair and all skin types from very light to very dark.

How does Aurora™ work?
Aurora™ is a faster, gentler way to remove unwanted hair, with long-term results. It applies precisely controlled pulses of energy (electrical and light, with cooling), reaching into the hair follicles that lie beneath the skin. The energy heats the hair, right down to the bottom of the root, destroying it without damaging surrounding tissue or skin.

What does it feel like?
Each pulse, which lasts less than one second, produces a slight tingling feeling. In particularly sensitive areas, such as the upperlip, it may feel like a quick, light pinch.

Is it suitable for everyone?
Aurora™ enables us to customize the treatment to exactly match your hair and skin color and type. As long as there is some color in your hair (even blond hair has enough color), then Aurora™ will be effective.

What about side effects?
The energies used by Aurora™ (electrical and light) are both commonly used in a range of medical and cosmetic procedures and have proven to be safe. Most people experience no side effects at all, though a few exhibit some short-term local reddening of the surrounding skin. You can return to your regular activities immediately after treatment, although it is advisable to keep the skin protected from exposure to direct sunlight for a short period of time.

How many treatments will I need?
Similar to other technologies, Aurora™ destroys hairs that are in the active growth phase, so repeat treatments will be needed to target hair that was not affected at the time of the previous treatments. The number of treatments you will need depends on your hair and skin color and type, and the part of your face or body treated. Your doctor can advise you about how long it will take to reach your hair removal goals. (Usually, four to six treatments are required.)

What results can I expect?
Aurora™ has been proven to be effective for long-term hair reduction with each individual treatment. At the end of the treatment program you can expect your skin to remain smooth. The Aurora™ has been proven to get rid of ingrown hair on even the darkest of skin types.
