How does the Aurora work?
The Aurora uses gentle light and electric pulses of energy, reaching into
the hair follicles that lie beneath the skin and damaging the hair follicle.
The energy heats the hair, right down to the bottom of the root, destroying
it without damaging surrounding tissue or skin. This process disables
the follicle from growing hair, which means that gradually over several
treatments, there is a permanent reduction in the amount of hair in that
area.

What does it feel like?
The sensation is often described as a "hot pinch" or "snapping"
feeling. The sensation only lasts for a fraction of a second, and you
may feel warmth or a tingling sensation for a short time afterward. We
also utilize a cooling device during treatments to help cool the area.
Is treatment with the Aurora safe?
Treatment is very safe for the skin. There are many advances in the Aurora
technology that make it one of the safest hair removal systems available
for all skin colors. There are no long term health hazards from light
or electric energies used in the Aurora. Both have been used for decades
in medicine, surgery, and aesthetics without adversity.
What kind of results can I expect from Aurora treatments?
Each Aurora treatment will result in less hair coming back, as well as
hair growing progressively lighter in color, finer, and slower-growing
with each treatment.

How frequently do I need treatments?
Treatments are done every four weeks for a total of 8 treatments for facial
hair, and every six weeks for a total of 8 treatments for body hair. Lighter
colored hair may require more treatments than darker hair.
What happens after each treatment?
Temporary pinkness in the skin lasts a very short time, and most people
return to work or normal activities immediately after treatment. The treated
area will "shed" some hairs over the next 3-4 weeks, and you
may experience a period of hairlessness in the area while you wait for
your next treatment.
Who should get Aurora treatment for Hair Removal?
Anyone who wants a permanent solution to shaving, waxing, plucking, or
electrolysis. There are a few medical conditions that contraindicate people
from treatment which will be discussed with your Aurora clinician.
