Laser hair removal employs powerful laser light beams to target pigment in the skin and damage or disable hair follicles responsible for growth, making it the most permanent method for eliminating unwanted hair growth. Plus, this method works well on all skin types!
Shaving, tweezing and waxing only remove the hair shaft while leaving its follicle intact to grow more hair, so most individuals require multiple sessions of treatments in order to see results.
1. Motus AX
Laser hair removal provides an alternative to traditional methods like shaving razors, waxing, and chemical peels by permanently disabling unwanted follicles. While laser treatments cannot completely erase all visible hair in an area, it will significantly decrease density and thickness – making those remaining less noticeable than before. Ingrown hairs may also benefit from laser treatment treatments as a potential result.
Posh Derma Med Spa New York utilizes the Motus AX machine, offering comfortable treatment to most skin tones. Relying on gradual heating to avoid snapping sensations caused by other alexandrite lasers, this device features a full-contact handpiece to deliver all energy directly to the hair follicles for maximum effectiveness.
Motus AX is a high-speed Alexandrite laser designed to effectively treat darker skin types more effectively than older technologies. Its unique wavelength enables it to target pigment in hair follicles while avoiding surrounding tissues – providing safer yet more effective treatment than earlier laser systems.
This groundbreaking laser uses an innovative sapphire cylinder tip to increase energy transfer rates and minimize any risk of burns, making it safe to be used on all skin tones including medium and dark tones – although selecting an experienced clinic should be your top priority for optimal treatment.
If you’re tired of constantly shaving your armpits, chin, legs or bikini area, schedule an appointment at Pura Vida for Motus AX laser hair removal treatment. Depending on your hair and skin tone, six sessions spaced a month apart may be required to completely eliminate unwanted hair from these areas; any remaining hairs that don’t respond can be removed via electrolysis for long-lasting results.
2. Diode 808
Diode laser hair removal is a safe, efficient way to permanently get rid of unwanted body hair on legs and arms. Diode lasers utilize light-absorbing technology which targets melanin in hair follicles to heat and ultimately destroy them, stopping new hair growth altogether. Note: At least four to six treatments spaced one month apart should be necessary in order to see your desired results.
This device comes equipped with an advanced TEC cooling system to keep the skin surface cool during treatments, creating a comfortable treatment experience and transferring 80-90% of laser energy accurately to targeted cells – providing perfect results! Furthermore, the cooling system plays a pivotal role in helping prevent discomfort, burns or hyper-pigmentation caused by overexposure to laser.
UNI-CHILL technology in the hand piece provides continuous contact cooling of the epidermis for complete painless treatment, as well as on-demand cooling that ensures maximum comfort and safety during treatments.
808nm laser emits a light-absorbing semiconductor laser which penetrates skin and passes through to hair follicles where melanin deposits accumulate, producing heat in only those tissues which contain melanin without damaging surrounding tissues; this process is known as selective photothermolysis.
3. Sapphire Touch
Laser hair removal provides a permanent solution to unwanted body hair without harming surrounding skin. Unlike shaving, which only temporarily removes surface-level hairs from growing back out, laser treatment interrupts its cycle from roots up. Six treatment sessions spaced one month apart are usually necessary to see desired results; using Sapphire Touch cooling system makes the procedure comfortable and safe; results typically become visible within 48 hours or so of treatment with slight skin reddening like sunburn fading within one day of treatment completion.

4. IPL
Intense pulsed light therapy (IPL) is an innovative skin treatment which effectively addresses pigmented lesions and hair follicles, while also diminishing acne scars and rosacea scarring. Light energy converts into heat in skin pigment layers to destroy dark spots while eliminating unwanted hair follicles; additionally it can improve appearances like enlarged pores, red veins, or broken capillaries. Although safe for most individuals it may not be appropriate for pregnant women or those taking blood thinners.
Before an IPL photofacial, a medical professional will apply dark glasses to protect the eyes, then apply a cool gel. Next they use a handheld device to deliver light therapy; this often produces a pinching sensation similar to having elastic band snapping onto skin. A cold compress or local anesthetic may help ease this discomfort.
After receiving treatment, it may require multiple sessions spaced six weeks apart to fully optimize results. At these visits, a medical professional will continue targeting specific areas of skin while altering or increasing light intensity accordingly to produce desired outcomes.
IPL treatments are usually beneficial on all skin tones; however, results may differ for people who have naturally dark-skinned or tanned complexions. Therefore, it is wise to discuss your particular situation with a specialist prior to committing to this method of treatment.

5. VelaShape
Laser hair removal is one of the most permanent ways to reduce unwanted body hair. The treatment targets each individual hair follicle and disables it from producing new growth; however, due to hair’s natural cycle of growth it may take multiple laser sessions before all hair follicles in an area are disabled. Claire Chang and Amit Om advise waiting at least a week between shaving or waxing treatments in an area and receiving laser therapy; also recommended is taking steps such as cleansing away makeup, lotions, perfumes or scented products from skin before receiving laser treatment as these could obstruct targeting by laser devices used by laser devices from targeting specific parts of skin before treatment can prevent device from targeting those parts effectively targeting.
