We go to great lengths to achieve smooth, hair-free skin. From painful waxing sessions, time-consuming shaving routines, and pointless plucking, we’ve endured countless hours trying to get control of our unwanted body hair. The Aerolase® Laser Hair Removal system allows patients to ditch their frustrating razors and waxing kits for longer-lasting hair removal results.
Using concentrated light beams, the Aerolase® Laser Hair Removal system targets the melanin in the hair. The light shoots straight through to the hair follicle in the skin, where it is absorbed, destroying the hair. With a few pain-free treatments spaced 3 to 4 weeks apart, our Webster, TX patients can enjoy softer skin and permanent hair reduction results.
How Does Hair Removal with Aerolase® Laser Work?
The Aerolase® laser uses a highly individualized 650-microsecond technology that delivers energy to the skin 30 to 50 times faster than other lasers, allowing patients with diverse skin types to receive pain-free treatment. During your treatment, the Aerolase® laser delivers concentrated light energy directly into the hair follicle. The pigment within the hair follicle absorbs the light, destroying the hair at its root.
The Aerolase® Laser Hair Removal System can help you remove unwanted hair from common areas, including:
- Upper lip
- Chin
- Between the eyebrows
- Legs
- Arms
- Armpits
- Bikini line
- Back
- Chest
- Abdomen
- Toes
Each laser pulse takes about a fraction of a second and treats multiple hairs simultaneously. With ongoing treatment, patients usually see a significant reduction in hair.
How to Prepare for Your Webster, TX Laser Aerolase® Hair Removal Treatment?
For at least six weeks before your appointment, do not pluck, wax, or shave the treatment area. During your laser hair removal session, the unwanted hairs must be in their growing phase for successful removal. To ensure all hair is effectively treated in the area, you will likely require a series of treatments scheduled 3 to 4 weeks apart. This schedule ensures maximum results.
Patients should also avoid tanning from direct sunlight, a tanning bed, or a spray tan. Exposure to the sun without proper SPF or protective clothing increases the risk of developing a sunburn, which will require postponing your laser hair removal appointment to allow your skin to heal. To ensure that the laser targets the pigment in the hair and only the hair, it can be more effective if the skin isn’t artificially tanned before treatment.
What Are the Benefits of Aerolase® Laser Hair Removal at M Spa Face & Body?
Laser hair removal can provide individuals with a wide range of benefits.
Long-Term Results
Once the hair follicles have been destroyed, they cannot grow back. This means you can enjoy long-lasting, smooth, hairless skin for years.
Low Maintenance Upkeep
Laser hair removal is a worthy investment for anyone seeking permanent hair removal results. While annual touch-ups are recommended, Aerolase® Laser Hair Removal treatments eliminate weekly or monthly shaving or waxing appointments.
Minimal Side Effects
With advancements in laser technology and approach, treatments have become less painful and more effective. This most common potential side effect is follicle edema or redness that lasts for 24 to 48 hours.
No More Painful Ingrown Hairs
Laser hair removal helps eliminate troublesome and painful ingrown hairs, minimizing the risk of irritating bumps, itching, and inflammation.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Laser Hair Removal?
If you are tired of spending time and money shaving, waxing, or tweezing unwanted body hair for short-term results, Aerolase® Laser Hair Removal may be well worth your consideration. The ideal candidates are willing to follow our thorough before and after procedure recommendations and have realistic expectations surrounding their potential results based on the consultation with their M Spa laser specialist.
Is There Any Downtime After Aerolase® Laser Hair Removal?
After an Aerolase® laser hair removal session, it is normal to feel mild discomfort in the treated areas. This can be reduced by applying ice packs or cold water periodically for the first hours. A post-laser gel can be applied topically to those with sensitive skin. Over the next few weeks, you will notice your skin becomes smoother and that the hair doesn’t grow back as quickly. It will also grow back much thinner and paler in comparison.
What Does an Aerolase® Laser Hair Removal Session Entail?
In preparation for your laser hair removal, you will be given protective eyewear, and the laser equipment settings will be adjusted to your specific skin. A cold gel or cooling device may also be applied to the treatment area to protect the outer skin during treatment.
When treatment begins, light energy is delivered to the area, resulting in some mild discomfort. This sensation has been described as feeling like a shock of warmth or having a rubber band snap against the skin quickly. The first treatment tends to be more uncomfortable than the following treatments, but it is still entirely tolerable.
The time it takes to cover the entire treatment area(s) can last anywhere from a few minutes to an hour. Once your session is complete, an anti-inflammatory cream or ice pack can be applied to relieve any remaining lingering stinging sensation.
