/ Laser Hair Removal Frequently Asked Questions

This is everybody's first question. And at Simplicity, we are more than happy to give you the answer. The Simple Choice package allows you to do anything and everything you want to have done for one low monthly price. And we do mean "low". How about $99 a month for women and $149 a month for men? That's it, and you can do every inch of your body, or only those inches you really want; it's your choice.

The simple answer is that lasers emit a pulse of light, which is absorbed by the pigmentation, and blood vessels of the hair follicle. When that light is absorbed by the hair follicle, it is converted to heat, which then destroys the follicle. When the hair follicle is destroyed, it is unable to re-grow hair. Because of the unique properties of each laser wavelength, the tissue surrounding the hair follicle is left untouched leaving you simply smooth.

At Simplicity we use the three most effective laser technologies available.

Using a combination of Diode, ND:YAG, and Alexandrite laser technologies, Simplicity ensures you a safer, faster and more effective treatment. Most laser centers use one, or maybe two lasers, to treat you. Nobody can offer you what Simplicity can. Simply the best results.

Alexandrite and ND: YAG technologies are the gold standard for laser hair removal on all skin types. The Cynosure Elite MPX proprietary "multiplex delivery system" is the only laser able to deliver both the ND:YAG and Alexandrite waves in a single pulse. This means that every treatment is more effective, because we are targeting the entire hair follicle in each pulse. The new Elite MPX laser gives Simplicity members the most effective result, by treating you with the most effective technologies in every single treatment.

Hair follicles transition through active and dormant stages. With each treatment, we will cover the entire skin surface, but only those follicles that are "active" will be impacted. When a follicle is dormant, the laser light cannot be absorbed, and the follicle is left undamaged. Only about 30-50% of your hair is actively growing at any given time, so multiple treatments are necessary to ensure that we treat every single hair follicle.

Yes, laser hair removal is a permanent. Most Simplicity members can expect to achieve 80-90% permanent hair reduction. Hair removal is less effective on red, blonde or grey hair. Hormonal changes can cause re-growth, but under the Simple Choice Membership program, you are covered for a full 2 years.

Absolutely! Simplicities lasers are FDA approved for all areas of the body and all skin types. Simplicity clinicians are all thoroughly trained at our corporate training centers in Utah. On-going quality control and re-training is a priority at Simplicity.

When performed by trained and experienced practitioners, side effects from laser hair removal are uncommon. Potential reactions include hyper- pigmentation (darkening of skin) or a histamine reaction (allergic reaction to the heat). Both conditions are temporary and can easily be treated with topical creams.

The average number of treatment needed to achieve the full effect of laser hair removal varies greatly from person to person, and can very between body parts. The majority of clients will end up needing about 8-10 treatments to accomplish permanent results. The Simple Choice Membership program allows our clients 2 full years of treatments. Only Simplicity offers you a straightforward plan that doesn't leave you wondering how much you'll have to pay for "touch-ups".

Thanks to the technology at Simplicity Laser centers, almost everybody is a great candidate for laser hair removal. We can treat all skin colors and hair types. Laser hair removal is less effective on clients with red, blonde or grey hair, so we recommend that you come in for a consultation so that we can give you an accurate idea of what results you can expect.

Simplicity uses the revolutionary and patented Lumenis Duet laser system. The Duet incorporates PSD technology. PSD is a suction device that eliminates about 90% of the pain generally associated with laser hair removal. So at Simplicity laser centers we can honestly say that our treatments can be almost pain free.
