Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is a popular cosmetic procedure designed to remove unwanted hair from various parts of the body. It works by targeting hair follicles with concentrated beams of light (laser). The pigment (melanin) in the hair absorbs the light, which heats and damages the follicle to inhibit or delay future hair growth.

• Targeted Treatment: Laser specifically targets hair, leaving the surrounding skin unharmed.
• Semi-Permanent: While not always permanent, it significantly reduces hair growth over time, with maintenance sessions often required.
• Versatility: Effective on multiple body areas like the face, legs, underarms, back, and bikini line.
• For Most Skin Types: Advanced technologies (e.g., Aerolase Neo) make it suitable for a wide range of skin tones, though results can vary based on skin and hair color.

The Aerolase Neo Elite laser offers patients a uniquely pain-free and gentle way to get rid of any unwanted hair. 

Most patients who have been treated by other lasers say that being treated with the Aerolase Neo Elite is much gentler and more pleasant. 

During laser hair removal, the hair must be in its growing phase in order to be successfully destroyed. 

To ensure that all hair is effectively removed during the growing phase, you will receive a series of treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. 

This will successfully ensure maximum results.

• The skin is cleansed and marked as needed.
• The laser is applied to the treatment area in pulses, targeting hair follicles.
• Sessions typically last 15–60 minutes, depending on the treated area.
• Multiple treatments are needed (usually 6–8) to target hair during different growth cycles.

• Underarms: Boost your confidence with smooth, hair-free underarms—perfect for rocking sleeveless outfits or embracing your natural movements.
• Upper Lips: A quick and effective solution for unwanted facial hair, leaving your upper lip flawlessly smooth and enhancing your overall look.
• Bikini Area: Achieve a neat and polished look for the bikini line, ideal for effortless beach days or feeling refreshed.
• Brazilian Area: Customize your style and enjoy complete confidence with a tailored hair removal experience for this intimate area.
• Unibrow: The laser precisely targets the hairs between the eyebrows, creating a clean separation and polished look. It's perfect for maintaining a well-groomed appearance without the constant need for tweezing or waxing.
• Fingers: Removes fine or noticeable hair on the fingers, leaving them smooth and ready for rings or hand modeling moments. The treatment is quick and effective, often requiring minimal sessions.
• Toes: Say goodbye to toe hair with laser removal—ideal for achieving sleek feet, whether you're barefoot at the beach or showing off sandals. It's a simple treatment for small areas.
• Sideburns: This area often has thicker hair that can grow unevenly. Laser hair removal provides a neat and uniform appearance, ideal for both men and women looking to refine their face's natural frame.
• Chin: Laser treatment effectively targets stubborn chin hair, including coarse or hormonal growth, giving you a smooth, hair-free finish and eliminating the need for shaving or plucking.
• Other Small Areas: Tailored treatments for specific needs.

How should I prepare for laser hair removal?

To ensure the best results, here are some things to do before your laser hair removal session 

(Pre procedure instructions)

1. Shave the treatment area 24–48 hours before your appointment.
2. Avoid waxing, tweezing, or using hair removal creams for 4 weeks before your session (these remove the hair follicle needed for the laser).
3. Refrain from tanning or using self-tanning products for at least 2 weeks before treatment.
4. Ensure the skin is clean—avoid lotions, oils, or deodorants on the treatment day.

What should I do after laser hair removal?

After your session, follow these steps for optimal results:

(Post procedure instructions)

1. Apply soothing aloe vera gel or a cooling lotion to reduce redness.
2. Avoid sun exposure and use sunscreen (SPF 30+) to protect treated areas.
3. Skip hot showers, saunas, or intense workouts for 24–48 hours.
4. Don’t pluck or wax regrowth—schedule follow-up sessions to effectively target hair during its growth cycle.

How does laser hair removal work?   

The laser emits concentrated light that targets the pigment in hair follicles. The heat damages the follicles, inhibiting or delaying future hair growth.

Is laser hair removal permanent?   

While it significantly reduces hair growth, it may not be completely permanent. Maintenance sessions are often needed to sustain results.

How many sessions are required?   

Most people need 6–12 sessions to achieve optimal results, as hair grows in cycles and the laser is most effective during the active growth phase.

Does it hurt?   

The sensation varies by individual, but many describe it as a mild stinging or snapping feeling. Advanced lasers, like Aerolase Neo, are designed to minimize discomfort.

Is it safe for all skin types?   

Modern lasers, such as Aerolase Neo, are safe for all skin tones. However, results may vary depending on hair and skin color.

What areas can be treated?   

Common areas include the face, underarms, legs, bikini line, and back. Smaller areas like the upper lip are also popular.

Are there side effects?   

Temporary redness, swelling, or mild irritation may occur but typically subside within a few hours. Serious side effects are rare when performed by trained professionals.

How should I prepare for a session?   

Avoid waxing or plucking for 4 weeks before treatment, shave the area 24–48 hours prior, and avoid sun exposure or tanning.

What should I do after treatment?   

Apply soothing products like aloe vera, avoid sun exposure, and refrain from hot showers or intense workouts for 24–48 hours.

Who should avoid laser hair removal?   

Pregnant individuals, those with certain skin conditions, or people taking photosensitizing medications should consult a professional before undergoing treatment.
