10 Benefits of Laser Hair Removal Over Other Methods

1. It’s a Quick Treatment

Laser hair removal treatments have always been relatively quick, but recent advancements in laser technology have only made them quicker. We use the Cynosure Elite laser device to perform laser hair removal at Aesthetica Medspa.

This device has a large spot size that allows us to target larger areas during a given treatment. A typical treatment takes 15 to 45 minutes, depending on the location and size of the area and whether you want to treat multiple areas during a single session.

2. It’s a Comfortable Treatment

Another one of the benefits of laser hair removal is that it’s a comfortable treatment; you won’t have to worry about pain during your sessions. Our advanced laser device has a built-in cooling system that maintains a comfortable skin temperature during treatment sessions. Unlike the laser devices of the past that made you feel like you were getting snapped with a rubber band, this treatment is comfortable.

3. It’s a Versatile Treatment

Laser hair removal at Aesthetica Medspa is a versatile treatment because the device can remove unwanted hair virtually anywhere on the face or body. The most common treatment areas include the face, underarms, back, arms, chest, legs, neck, trunk, brazilian and bikini area. It can target unwanted hair in those hard-to-reach areas that are difficult to address with at-home hair removal methods.

The advanced technology and adjustable sizes not only enable our technicians to remove unwanted hair from virtually anywhere on your face or body but also address multiple areas during a single treatment.

4. It’s a Safe Treatment

The laser device that we use to remove unwanted hair from the face of the body is completely safe. Its advanced technology ensures that the surrounding skin remains protected during each laser hair removal treatment.

Not only is it a safe treatment, but one of the added benefits is that the laser device used to remove unwanted hair is the same laser device we use for skin improvement, resurfacing, and rejuvenation. That means not only will your treated skin be free of hair after your sessions, but it will also be smoother, brighter, and healthier.

5. It’s a Treatment Without Downtime

There’s no downtime after a laser hair removal treatment. You won’t have to take time off of work, plan on a long recovery, or follow a long list of aftercare instructions. You may experience some skin redness immediately following your treatment, which is a completely normal reaction to the treatment process and will resolve relatively quickly.

You will need to be very careful to avoid prolonged sun exposure and wear quality sunscreen or protective clothing to protect the treatment area. The laser energy makes your skin more sensitive to the effects of the sun, increasing the risk of sunburn and accompanying sun damage.

6. It’s a Customizable Treatment

When you come to Asethetica Medspa for laser hair removal, you can count on receiving a personalized treatment plan custom-tailored to your needs, goals, and skin type. We never take a one-size-fits-all approach to laser hair removal; instead, we consider each patient during the consultation process to customize the right treatment plan.

The first step in the treatment is your initial consultation, during which we’ll meet with you to discuss your treatment goals and confirm your treatment eligibility. We’ll take time to ensure this treatment is safe for your skin type so that we can move forward and design the right treatment plan that helps you achieve smooth, hair-free skin. At this time, we can also answer any questions you may have about the device, the process, and the results.

7. It’s a Treatment That Will Save You Time and Money Long-Term

Undergoing laser hair removal treatments may feel like an upfront investment, but it’s one that will save you time and money in the long term. After scheduling and undergoing the recommended number of sessions, you’ll enjoy smoother hair-free skin. You’ll no longer need to schedule those painful waxing appointments, spend time shaving or plucking, or purchase razors, shaving cream, and other at-home hair removal products.

You’ll also have more time in your morning or evening routine and can, for the first time in your life, enjoy smooth, hair-free skin that doesn’t require daily or weekly maintenance.

8. It’s a Treatment That Eliminates Hair Removal Side Effects

At-home hair removal methods aren’t as effective as laser hair removal treatments because they don’t eliminate the hair follicle at the root as the laser device does. With at-home hair removal methods, you must constantly upkeep your skin to target new hair growth. This constant skin maintenance can lead to skin irritation in the form of razor burn, redness, bumps, ingrown hairs, cuts, and even scarring.

When you invest in a laser hair removal treatment plan, you’ll no longer have to deal with any of the side effects of shaving, waxing, or tweezing. Instead, you’ll experience improved skin quality and skin health.

9. It’s an Effective Treatment

One of the reasons laser hair removal is so much more effective than other hair removal methods is that it uses heat energy to increase the temperature at the hair follicle, which renders it incapable of growing future hair. It targets the source of hair growth at the root, providing the most effective resolution to the issue of unwanted hair. This process works over the course of multiple sessions since the laser device only targets hair follicles in an active growth phase.

Not every hair follicle will be actively growing hair at the time of treatment, which is why you’ll need to schedule multiple sessions to effectively target the highest number of follicles and ensure the best treatment results. After the recommended number of sessions, your hair will stop growing, and you’ll achieve your desired results.

10. It’s a Treatment With Long-Lasting Results

Unlike shaving, waxing, tweezing, and depilatory creams, the results of laser hair removal treatments are long-lasting.

Some factors can cause hair regrowth after treatment, including hormonal changes and certain medical conditions. If you do experience any regrowth as a result of factors out of your control, we can customize a maintenance treatment plan to target those hair follicles so you can maintain your initial results.

If you want to save time and money on at-home hair removal methods, we can help you achieve hair-free skin through a customized laser hair removal treatment plan. After a few safe, comfortable, and quick sessions, you’ll have smoother, rejuvenated, hair-free skin and can enjoy the results long-term.
