ProWave Hair Removal
A specially tailored light source for permanent hair reduction,
Cutera's newest hair removal innovation, ProWave, can treat a wide
range of skin types. The ProWave can remove hair from all over
the body. The most popular areas being the face, legs, arms,
underarms and back. The ProWave can also treat sensitive areas
such as the chest and bikini line.
ProWave works by disabling the hair that is principally in the
active growth phase at the time of treatment. Since other
hairs will enter the active growth phase at a different time,
additional treatments may be necessary to disable all of the
follicles in a given area.
What to expect:
Some patients experience a mild pinching or stinging
sensation. Most areas require 3-6 treatments. However,
the number of treatments required for optimal long-term benefits
depends on a variety of factors such as: hair thickness, the
area treated and your hair's growth cycle.
Pre and Post Treatment Instructions:
Don't actively suntan 3 days prior to treatment.
Immediately following the treatment, the area may appear a bit red
and swollen. Three to seven days after treatment, you may
experience what seems to be re-growth of hair. Actually, most
of these hairs are being shed as a result of your treatment and are
not re-growing. Between treatments you should not wax or
pluck your hair, but it is permissible to shave. The use of
sunscreen is recommended on any treated areas exposed to the sun.
