The Aesthetic Laser Treatment Center utilizes the FDA approved Cynosure Elite
YAG (1064nm) / Alexandrite (755nm) laser to provide safe and effective laser hair
reduction for any skin color, including tanned skin with no adverse effects. Our staff
includes certified trainers who train physicians offices around the US.
How does the laser remove hair?
The laser emits a beam of light that is attracted to the pigment or melanin in the hair
follicle that is in an active growing cycle. Pre-determined pulse duration and energy settings are
directed at and absorbed by the hair follicles, disabling the growth of the follicles, resulting in quick,
safe and effective hair removal.
What is the advantage of using a laser?
Lasers are precise instruments that can be adjusted to the exact parameters that will specifically
disable the hair follicle. The laser uses a wide beam that treats many hairs at once instead of
treating hair-by-hair like electrolysis. Because of this, large areas such as your legs, arms, or back
can be treated in a short period of time. You will see results that last far longer than tweezing,
waxing, shaving, chemical depilation, or other temporary methods.
What does the laser treatment feel like?
The treatment does have a slight prickly or stinging sensation. Most of our clients are able to tolerate
the treatment without difficulty. However, since every person’s level of sensitivity is different and
treatment areas may vary, a topical numbing cream is available.
What happens to the skin after laser treatment?
Reddening of the skin is the desired reaction. The redness usually subsides within a few minutes to a
few hours and returns to normal. Since the laser is not invasive in any way, no bandages are
necessary. You are able to reapply your make-up, return to work, and continue with your normal
daily activities immediately following treatment.
How many laser treatments will I need?
It has been our experience most of our patients are able to discontinue treatments, knowing they will
probably need an occasional touchup, after an average of 6-7 treatments. This is providing that the
recommended treatment schedule that is outlined during the consultation is followed. It is also
important to understand that results may vary depending on the individuals hair type, their stress
levels, certain medications and fluctuation in hormone levels. Keeping in mind that some individuals
require fewer treatments and some will require more treatments depending on the results desired.
Is laser hair removal permanent?
Based on our experience, hairs that are treated during a growth cycle will not re-grow. Each
individual’s treatment response may be different because of their hair or skin type. In addition,
everyone has between 500 and 1000 follicles per square inch, of which many are dormant at the time
of the treatment, therefore we have no way of knowing if and when they may start growing due to
stress levels, certain medications and different hormone levels.
What to expect after laser treatment?
After your initial treatment, you should enjoy a significant reduction of hair. However, it will take a
week or two for the treated hair to push its way to the surface and fall out. With each treatment, the
hair in the active growing phase will be effectively treated. A follow up appointment is scheduled in 4-
8 weeks after each treatment. It is encouraged to maintain the schedule of treatments outlined in
the consultation.
What if I have gray, white, blonde, red or light fine hair?
Since the laser is attracted to the pigment in the hair follicle, this hair type or hair color may not be
treated with the laser. If this is your case call our clinic, they may have options for the treatment
you are seeking at their site.
