What Concerns Does Laser Hair Removal Address?

A Precise Solution for Unwanted Hair

Laser hair removal works by sending a concentrated beam of light into the hair follicle. The pigment (melanin) in the hair follicle absorbs the light, which converts to heat. This heat damages the follicle, inhibiting its ability to grow new hair. Because the laser targets pigment, the treatment is most effective when there is a contrast between the hair color and skin color (e.g., dark hair on lighter skin). Our advanced laser system allows us to safely treat a wide range of skin types.

  • Underarms
  • Bikini line / Brazilian
  • Legs
  • Back and Chest
  • Upper lip and chin
  • Arms

The best part? After a series of treatments, you can enjoy the freedom of smooth skin without the daily hassle of shaving or the pain of waxing.

What to Expect During Your Laser Hair Removal Treatment

Personalized, Professional, and Effective

Your laser hair removal appointment at Advanced Aesthetics is designed to be quick and comfortable.

  1. Before Treatment

    You will need to shave the treatment area 24 hours before your appointment. Do not wax, pluck, or use depilatory creams.

  2. During Treatment

    The provider will pass the laser handpiece over the treatment area. You will feel a sensation often described as a rubber band snapping against the skin, followed by a cooling sensation.

  3. After Treatment

    The treated area may be slightly red and feel like a mild sunburn. This typically subsides within a few hours.

  4. When Will I See Results?

    You will notice a reduction in hair after your first treatment. A series of 6-8 treatments is typically required for optimal results, as the laser can only target hair in the active growth phase.

  5. Additional Benefits

    • Long-lasting hair reduction
    • Reduces ingrown hairs
    • Smoother skin texture
    • Saves time and money compared to a lifetime of shaving/waxing
    • Quick treatment sessions
    • Minimal discomfort

Frequently Asked Questions

Your Laser Hair Removal Questions, Answered

How many treatments will I need?

Most patients require a series of 6-8 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart to achieve significant hair reduction. The exact number will depend on the treatment area, hair color, and skin type.

Is laser hair removal permanent?

It is considered permanent hair reduction. After a full series of treatments, most patients experience an 80-90% reduction in hair. Any remaining hair is typically much finer and lighter. Maintenance sessions may be needed once a year.

Does it hurt?

Most patients tolerate the treatment very well. The sensation is often compared to a rubber band snapping against the skin. Our laser’s built-in cooling system helps to minimize discomfort.

Can all skin types be treated?

Our advanced laser system allows us to safely treat a wide range of skin types. However, a consultation is necessary to determine if you are a good candidate.

What areas can be treated?

We can treat almost any area of the body, including the face, underarms, bikini area, legs, back, and chest.

Why do I need multiple treatments?

Hair grows in different cycles. The laser is only effective at targeting hair that is in the active (anagen) growth phase. Multiple treatments are needed to ensure we treat all the hair follicles in the area as they enter this phase.

Pricing

We offer single-session pricing, plus laser hair removal packages of 3, 6 and 10 sessions through our booking system. The cost depends on the size of the area being treated. We will provide a full quote during your consultation. Payment plans are available.
