problem, for both men and women. Frequent hair removal processes, including shaving, depilatories, plucking, and waxing, can be time-consuming, inconvenient, and often painful. At best, these methods offer only temporary results \u2013 for some, only a few hours.<\/p>\n<p>Laser-based technology has brought us a permanent solution to remove unwanted hair, leaving skin feeling smooth and healthy. We can help you get to the root of the problem with our state-of-the-art Icon\u2122 system.<\/p>\n<p>Laser-based hair removal gives you effective, permanent hair reduction anywhere on your body including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Small facial areas<\/li>\n<li>Backs<\/li>\n<li>Chests<\/li>\n<li>Arms<\/li>\n<li>Underarms<\/li>\n<li>Bikini lines<\/li>\n<li>Buttocks<\/li>\n<li>Perianal region<\/li>\n<li>Legs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Treatments are quick and easy, letting you get back to your everyday activities with minimum downtime.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-3 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-five\" style=\"--awb-text-color:var(--awb-color1);--awb-margin-top-small:10px;--awb-margin-right-small:0px;--awb-margin-bottom-small:10px;--awb-margin-left-small:0px;\"><h5 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-left\" style=\"margin:0;\">How Energy-based Hair Removal Works<\/h5><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-3\" style=\"--awb-text-color:var(--awb-color1);\"><p>During laser and light-based hair removal procedures, the device emits light energy that travels through the skin and is absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicle stem cells and hair shaft. Pigments are the substances that give skin and hair their color. This energy transmission damages the hair follicle, which permanently destroys it while preserving surrounding skin tissue.<\/p>\n<p>Hair follicles that are in the anagen, or active growth phase, have more pigment and absorb more energy, and typically respond best to treatments. For this reason, it takes multiple treatments spaced at varying weeks apart depending on the treatment area. To achieve the best results, it\u2019s important to \u201ccatch\u201d your hair in this active growth phase when you are receiving the treatment.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"accordian fusion-accordian\" style=\"--awb-border-size:1px;--awb-icon-size:16px;--awb-content-font-size:var(--awb-typography4-font-size);--awb-icon-alignment:left;--awb-hover-color:var(--awb-color2);--awb-border-color:var(--awb-color3);--awb-background-color:var(--awb-color1);--awb-divider-color:var(--awb-color3);--awb-divider-hover-color:var(--awb-color3);--awb-icon-color:var(--awb-color6);--awb-title-color:var(--awb-color1);--awb-content-color:var(--awb-color8);--awb-icon-box-color:var(--awb-color1);--awb-toggle-hover-accent-color:var(--awb-color1);--awb-title-font-family:var(--awb-typography1-font-family);--awb-title-font-weight:var(--awb-typography1-font-weight);--awb-title-font-style:var(--awb-typography1-font-style);--awb-title-font-size:16px;--awb-content-font-family:var(--awb-typography4-font-family);--awb-content-font-weight:var(--awb-typography4-font-weight);--awb-content-font-style:var(--awb-typography4-font-style);\"><div class=\"panel-group fusion-toggle-icon-boxed\" id=\"accordion-12987-1\"><div class=\"fusion-panel panel-default panel-73acb594a6de110cb fusion-toggle-no-divider\"><div class=\"panel-heading\"><h4 class=\"panel-title toggle\" id=\"toggle_73acb594a6de110cb\"><a aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"73acb594a6de110cb\" role=\"button\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-parent=\"#accordion-12987-1\" data-target=\"#73acb594a6de110cb\" href=\"#73acb594a6de110cb\"><span class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><i class=\"fa-fusion-box active-icon awb-icon-minus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><i class=\"fa-fusion-box inactive-icon awb-icon-plus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><span class=\"fusion-toggle-heading\">READ MORE<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div><div id=\"73acb594a6de110cb\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse \" aria-labelledby=\"toggle_73acb594a6de110cb\"><div class=\"panel-body toggle-content fusion-clearfix\"><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-4 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-five\" style=\"--awb-text-color:var(--awb-color1);--awb-margin-top-small:10px;--awb-margin-right-small:0px;--awb-margin-bottom-small:10px;--awb-margin-left-small:0px;\"><h5 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-left\" style=\"margin:0;\">Smooth Skin with Just a Beam of a Laser<\/h5><\/div>\n<div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-4\" style=\"--awb-text-color:var(--awb-color1);\"><p>At Hemingway Medical Spa, we utilize Icon\u2122 technology to best serve the hair removal needs of all of our clients.<\/p>\n<p>Icon\u2122 can be safely used on all skin types and all skin tones, though it is most effective on individuals with dark hair.
