At your laser hair removal procedure, you will lie in one of our treatment rooms as the needed areas of your skin are washed to eliminate dirt, oil, and creams. During your treatment, a team member will smooth out the area to create a clear path between the laser and the hair follicle root. The energy from the Soprano ICE™ Platinum laser will focus on and disable the hair follicle, preventing the hair from growing again. On average, you will need 3 – 5 sessions over a period of 3 – 4 weeks to get optimal results. Your sessions are spaced out in order to allow the affected areas a chance to recover. It also allows time for follicles in the dormant phase to cycle into the phase of active growth so the laser can be effective. The state-of-the-art technology we use at AestheticFX Med Spa targets only the hair follicle, which preserves the skin and other tissue in the area being treated. Following laser hair removal, you may feel like you have a mild sunburn, but you should feel well enough to carry on with your everyday activities. However, you should refrain from strenuous activity or lengthy exposure to the sun for a day to let the treated areas heal.

Is laser hair removal permanent?

Considered an effective treatment, laser hair removal produces lasting results. While men and women can enjoy the results of the procedure for years, it is considered semi-permanent since some hair follicles may continue growing. However, patients find the majority of the hair follicles are dormant once their treatment plan is finished and even if a few hairs are still growing, it's easier to manage. More laser treatments can also be scheduled to take care of new growth and any stragglers as well.

Why do I need multiple laser hair removal sessions?

Follicles grow in cycles. While some hair follicles are in a live growing phase, other follicles are resting. Because each hair follicle is in various stages, multiple treatment sessions are recommended to target each hair follicle when it is active. Scheduling your sessions over several weeks helps you get better, smoother results.

Does laser hair removal hurt?

Laser hair removal can cause mild discomfort, but it's not considered too painful. Patients will feel a slight sting as the laser targets and removes the follicle. We can use a local anesthetic on your skin before the start of your treatment. Patients who are used to getting waxed report that laser hair removal feels much less discomfort than a normal waxing session.
