Laser Hair Removal Services

Laser hair removal is a cutting-edge procedure that utilizes lasers to emit light absorbed by the pigment, or melanin, in the hair. This process damages the hair follicle and prevents future hair growth, offering a long-term solution to unwanted hair. At Advanced Skin Therapy, we provide top-tier laser hair removal treatment tailored to your needs.

WHAT IS LASER HAIR REMOVAL?

Laser hair removal is a convenient, noninvasive method for reducing or removing unwanted facial or body hair.

It leaves the skin looking smoother and silkier than waxing, sugaring, electrolysis or razors and is a gentle technique that can treat larger areas effectively with minimal discomfort and with no downtime.

Laser hair removal is one of the most common aesthetic procedures performed.

 

What Laser Hair Removal does

Laser hair removal targets hair follicles, disrupting their ability to produce new hair. This method is known for its precision, speed, and long-lasting results compared to traditional hair removal techniques. 

How to Prepare for Laser Hair Removal

Preparation is the key to achieving the best results from your laser hair removal sessions. Here’s what you need to do:

 

  • Avoid Sun Exposure: Protect the area to be treated from the sun for at least four weeks before your appointment.
  • Shave the Area: Shave the treatment area 24 hours before your session. This helps the laser to focus on the hair follicles below the skin.
  • Skip Waxing and Tweezing: For six weeks before treatment, refrain from waxing, tweezing, or electrolysis, as these methods remove the hair root, which the laser targets.
  • Avoid Blood Thinners: Avoid taking blood-thinning medications, such as aspirin, before the procedure unless otherwise advised by your doctor.

Our Laser Hair Removal Process

Your journey to smooth, hair-free skin begins with a comprehensive consultation with our experienced experts. During this session, we will assess your skin type and hair characteristics. We will discuss your medical history and any medications you may be taking and set realistic expectations for the results obtained from laser hair removal treatments. We will develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. 

On the day of your treatment, our skilled technicians will guide you through the process. The treatment area will be cleaned to remove makeup, oils, or lotions. You will be provided with protective eyewear to shield your eyes from the laser light. A cooling gel may be applied to the skin to enhance comfort and effectiveness. 

Then, the laser device will be applied to the treatment area. You may feel a mild pinching or snapping sensation as the laser emits light pulses. The length of each session depends on the size of the area being treated, ranging from a few minutes for small areas to over an hour for larger areas like the back or legs. 

Proper aftercare after treatment is important to ensure optimal results and minimize potential side effects. To maintain your results, monitor hair regrowth, complete the recommended series of necessary treatments for your particular needs, and stay healthy and hydrated. 

At Advanced Skin Therapy, we are committed to providing you with safe, effective, and comfortable laser hair removal treatments. Our team is here to support you every step of the way, ensuring you achieve the smooth, hair-free skin you desire.

What to Expect From Laser Hair Removal

Post-treatment, the treated area may appear slightly red and swollen. Within three to seven days, hair may begin regressing, which indicates the treatment is working. It’s important to avoid waxing or tweezing between treatments; however, shaving is allowed.
