Why Laser Hair Removal?
Advancements in laser technology have provided patients with an effective and long-lasting solution for reducing or eliminating the appearance of unsightly hair growth. With little to no downtime, laser hair removal delivers lasting silky-smooth skin by preventing hair regrowth.
What areas can Laser Hair Removal Treat?
Laser Hair Removal can treat any area with unwanted hair.
How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
At Aesthetics by Summit, our laser device accomplishes hair removal by emitting targeted beams of light directly into the hair follicle. This light is attracted to the melanin (pigment/dark color) present in your hair. When the laser light enters the hair follicle, it heats and damages the hair bulb to prevent future regrowth.
What Is the Laser Hair Removal Procedure Like?
During the procedure, you will be provided with protective eyewear. Patients often compare the sensations experienced during laser hair removal to the feeling of a rubber band being snapped against the skin. However, thanks to the contact-cooling feature on our laser device at Aesthetics by Summit, these sensations are generally well tolerated.
How Far Apart Should I Schedule My Treatments?
We recommend patients undergo 4-6 treatments, spaced 6 weeks apart. The exact number of treatments required will depend on the your skin type, hair density and natural hair growth cycle. This will all be discussed at your consultation!
What Can I Expect After my Procedure?
While laser hair removal treatments are quick and painless, it will take some time for the results of your treatment sessions to become apparent. Over the weeks following your hair removal appointment, your treated hair will gradually shed.
