Whether you just have a few unwanted hairs you’d like to eliminate our you’re looking for a full-body clean-up, our professional estheticians are ready for you! Here’s what our Bradenton skincare studio and med spa.

How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?

A laser is really nothing more than a very focused beam of powerful light.

Any strand of hair on your body originates from a follicle—technically an organ within your outermost layers of skin. Typically, a single follicle will grow a single strand of hair. And even if you pluck out the hair, the follicle remains.

Laser hair removal focuses that powerful beam of light on your unwanted hairs. The laser causes the melanin in the hair to heat up, and that heat in turn damages the follicle so that it will stop producing hair.

Laser hair removal should only be performed by a professional, certified esthetician using medical-grade equipment. Each client’s skin requires unique settings and precise application of the laser in order to effectively remove hair without damaging the skin.

What Parts of the Body Can be Treated with Laser Hair Removal?

We can perform laser hair removal on most of the body. Popular areas include armpits, bikini line, chin/upper lip, and back. (And yes, this procedure is very popular for men, too!)

However, we would not perform laser hair removal near the eyes or on parts of the body that have been tattooed.

Who’s a Candidate for Laser Hair Removal

While many people take advantage of this service, not everyone is a candidate. In some cases, sensitive skin could be at risk of damage. 

Because the laser causes a reaction in the hair’s melanin, people with darker skin—ie more melanin—could be at risk of visible changes in the skin itself. That’s why it’s so important to have a consultation beforehand and to ensure that your esthetician is fully qualified to perform laser hair removal. The machines have to be carefully calibrated and handled precisely for safe, effective results.

We also ask that you prepare for your hair removal session by staying out of the sun, as sunburned skin will be more sensitive to the laser and more prone to additional damage.

What Should You Expect from Your Laser Hair Removal Treatment?

Every hair removal appointment will include protective eyewear for both the client and the esthetician.

Your esthetician will hold the laser device directly against the area of your skin being treated. The laser activates in quick bursts, so the esthetician carefully repositions the device until the entire area has been covered. The length of the procedure depends on the area of skin being treated.

While the procedure can be totally painless, there may be some very mild discomfort; many people say the sensation of laser hair removal feels like a rubber band being snapped against the skin.

It will take several days for the hair to fall out, and clients typically require between eight to 10 treatments to fully eliminate the unwanted hair.
