Laser Hair Removal

 If you want to get rid of unwanted hair on areas like your upper lip, cheeks, chin, neck, stomach, arms, legs, and back, then laser hair removal is your best bet. It’s a precise and fast procedure that gets rid of hair permanently in the unwanted area after a few sessions, unlike waxing and shaving.

About Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is useful in removing unwanted hair from your body. It’s a fast and accurate procedure that offers a variety of benefits. Here’s how it works and what you can expect during a session. 

How Laser Hair Removal Works

Laser hair removal treatment involves using a concentrated beam of light that removes hair in your chosen area of the body. The laser is absorbed by the melanin in the hair, which creates heat that damages the follicles. Follicles are responsible for hair growth. Damaging them minimizes or even stops future hair growth. This effect cannot be achieved in a single session. You need to go back for about three to seven procedures as your hair grows back to stop it from developing permanently. 

 

What to Expect

There are a couple of steps you should take before, during, and after the procedure.

1. Consultation

Contact our laser hair removal clinic in Syracuse, NY, to schedule your consultation. Once you arrive, we’ll find out more about your needs and give your skin a checkup. We’ll talk to you about the benefits and the process. 

2. Treatment

Our licensed aesthetician will use a laser instrument on your skin to heat the hair follicles. You’ll feel a warm prick when this happens, but it will be followed by a cooling sensation from a cooling device. We use this to avoid skin damage and pain. 

The length of treatment varies on the body part. If it’s just your armpits or upper lip, it may only take a few minutes for each area. If you want to remove hair from your back or legs, it may take an hour or two. 

3. Aftercare

Our expert will provide you with a list of guidelines to follow after your procedure. These may include what to do if you notice any redness on your skin, or avoiding sunlight and using sunscreen in between treatment sessions.

Results may vary from person to person. The hair removal may last weeks, months, or longer for some people. You may need maintenance treatments for this.
