The ProWave 770 is the first hair removal system that has the technology to allow your laser specialist to select the ideal wavelength for each individual skin type.

ProWave Program A is ideal for light skin types whereas Programs B and C are designed for medium and darker skin types.
The relationship between the light source and melanin absorption in the skin and hair follicle requires exact modification of pulse duration, light wavelengths and cooling.

As Laser Hair Removal Popularity Rises, Prices Fall
Just a few years ago, laser hair removal procedures were very expensive but now, finding an affordable laser hair removal clinic is easier than you would think. As the number of laser hair removal centers grows, competition has driven the prices down from what they once were. In the late 1990's certain laser hair removal treatment prices reached as high as $3,000 but today, the same treatment can be done for half the cost.
The reason for this is simple. In the 1990's there were only a small number of manufacturers of laser hair removal equipment and only a few hundred clinics around the country offering the service. Now, there are more than 15 laser hair removal manufacturers and the industry continually grows larger everyday. Today, potential patients can find thousands of affordable laser hair removal clinics throughout the U.S.A. and Canada.

New Laser Used in Hair Removal for Darker Skin Types
The FDA recently approved a new long pulse ND: YAG laser. The YAG delivers energy more slowly to the target area, in order to give the epidermis more time to cool off. This is important for those with darker skin types, because there is less chance of skin pigmentation irregularity. Before the approval of this laser, those with darker skin types had a greater chance of pigment discoloration. To discover if laser hair removal is right for you, take our online consultation, or locate a clinic in your area that utilizes the long pulse ND: YAG laser.
