Laser Hair Removal - Aesthetic Solutions

How does Laser Hair Removal work?

During this treatment, a laser beam passes through the skin to the individual hair follicle. The dark pigment of the hair’s melanin absorbs the laser and transforms its energy into heat. This process disables the hair follicle while leaving the surrounding tissue unaffected. This kind of laser treatment best targets darker hair. It does not affect hairs that are not actively growing. White, gray or very fair hair does not respond well to laser hair removal. We use the Candela Gentle Max Pro laser in our office.

In the Treatment Room: Our newly renovated facilities feature the best in comfort and state-of-the-art medical technology.

Is Laser Hair Removal safe?

The FDA has cleared the Gentle Max Pro laser to safely and permanently reduce unwanted hair. It has an excellent safety profile. Like any medical procedure, there are risks. As a teacher and trainer of other physicians in laser procedures, Dr. Cox stresses the importance of finding an experienced provider directly supervised by an on-site physician who understands the finer points of laser treatment.

Laser Hair Removal downtime

Laser hair removal is well tolerated. The procedure itself typically takes less than 15 minutes. Patients report a sensation of heat, accompanied by a bright light, and may experience mild discomfort.

There is no downtime associated with laser hair removal. Redness and mild swelling are the most common side effects following treatment. This typically resolves within 48 hours after treatment. Multiple sessions are required to achieve a permanent reduction of hair in the treated area.

Laser Hair Removal results

Laser hair removal treatment causes a permanent reduction of hair in the treated area. Occasional treatments are required after the initial series to maintain results. The most common treatment locations include the upper lip and chin, underarms, chest, back, bikini area and legs. We cannot treat very light hair or around the eyes, but it’s possible to treat hair in most other areas. A series of treatments is required to produce results.

"I have had a great experience coming here this far. The entire staff has been professional and nice throughout. Kim, my skin therapist has been nothing short of amazing! She’s fast with treatment but efficient and really listens to me! She even remembers the patients which is very comforting and makes me feel very welcomed here (rather) than a stranger who just randomly comes in. Overall very pleased with the laser hair removal process which I was a bit nervous and skeptical with my darker skin tone! Thanks for everything!"

Wearing a mask as an essential worker caused hair issues on my face to the point where they were ingrown and very painful. Aesthetic Solutions has made it possible where not only am I not in pain, but my ingrown hair problem is completely gone and my skin looks beautiful again!

I have been going to see Kim at Aesthetic [Solutions] for over 10 years now! Her expertise and compassion have always made every one of my visits wonderful and comfortable. Having certain areas of the body lasered can sometimes create self-consciousness; however, I have always left feeling more at ease, and never had any embarrassment during visits. I would never go anywhere else for treatment!

All done with Laser Hair Removal for underarms. 7 treatments over a year. Worth it! If you have the opportunity to do this, you won't regret it!

Laser to my upper lip area was explained to me fully before the procedure in a pleasant manner by an experienced, knowledgeable technician. There were no surprises and all went well.
