Laser hair removal is a safe, semi-permanent solution to unwanted body hair removal. Laser pulses take less than one fraction of a second and destroy multiple hair follicles at once – leaving behind just an invisible finish!
This process is far more comfortable than shaving or waxing on an ongoing basis, and can even save money in the form of reduced touch-up costs.
Costs
Unwanted pubic hair growth can be an annoyance and embarrassment, especially when performed in public areas such as pubic regions. While shaving, plucking, waxing may provide short-term solutions, laser hair removal provides long-term solutions. Furthermore, laser provides several attractive advantages over other forms of hair removal methods, including semi-permanence effects as well as being performed from within your own home environment.
Before making a commitment to laser hair removal in South Carolina, be sure to ask your cosmetic provider about costs and treatment plans. At your consultation appointment, the expert will evaluate your skin type, hair color and treatment area to ascertain what’s necessary for successful outcomes; then discuss available budget and financing plans until a solution can be tailored to you.
Additionally to the costs associated with laser hair removal treatments, there may be additional fees related to preparation and follow-up care. You can reduce these expenses by visiting facilities that offer all necessary equipment and a trained staff for treatments.
Look for clinics that use LightSheer(tm) laser technology, known for delivering fast and effective results without pain or discomfort. Inquire as to the average length of each session in terms of treating your specific area. This information will allow you to plan laser sessions around your schedule while aligning them with natural hair growth cycles for optimal results.
Consider whether or not multiple sessions will be necessary for effective results, depending on your personal requirements, such as how much hair grows in a given area and its color. At your consultation appointment, a professional will give an accurate estimation of how many treatments will be necessary in order to achieve desired outcomes.

During Treatment
Laser treatments involve sending light pulses into the hair follicles to destroy their roots and ensure no further hair growth. Unlike waxing, which removes layers of skin as well as hair from your surface layer, laser treatments are minimally invasive and leave the surface of your skin undamaged. Furthermore, the process should be relatively painless with topical anesthetic being available before your session to help minimize discomfort levels during treatment sessions.
Expect some temporary redness or sensitivity in the treated area following your laser hair removal treatment, which can be easily managed using cold compresses or aloe vera on the skin. In order to promote healing and avoid sun exposure after treatment, sunblock and certain cosmetic products should also be avoided to promote healing after laser hair removal sessions are complete. Depending on your individual skin type and how many sessions are required for optimal treatment results, laser hair removal may also be used to treat pigmented lesions or tighten loose or sagging skin areas.
Before your treatment begins, an aesthetician will shave and use cooling methods to soothe the area of treatment, followed by laser technician applying protective gel on your skin in order to keep laser from touching directly on it. Depending on your comfort level and desired method of delivery of treatment, full clothing can remain on during its entirety.
Initial treatments will produce immediate results, but additional sessions will be necessary to completely destroy all hair follicles and target all growth cycles of hair growth. After five sessions have been administered, you will experience an 80% permanent reduction in hair growth; maintenance treatments should then be scheduled every three to 12 months for maintenance purposes.

After Treatment
Unwanted hair growth can be an inconvenient sight on areas like the face and legs. Laser hair removal offers a permanent solution that reduces unwanted follicles; however, results do not appear immediately and treatment sessions must be undertaken in order to see any improvements; after several sessions you should see significant reduction in unwanted hair follicles; with regular follow up, results become long lasting.
Laser hair removal works by emitting short pulses of light energy that target and destroy pigment in hair follicles, thus rendering them incapable of growing hair again; when it does reappear it will be thin and sparse. Treatment may cause mild reddening and swelling similar to what may occur during sunburn treatment.
Your exact treatment sessions depend on factors such as body chemistry and makeup as well as the shade of hair and skin. For example, darker hair typically requires multiple sessions of treatments in order to achieve maximum results. Our experienced professionals will meet with you and create an individualized plan tailored specifically to meet your goals and budget.
Before your treatment begins, the area being addressed should be shaved to prevent hair above the surface from being targeted by laser and possibly damaging your skin. If necessary, apply topical anesthetic as needed if sensitive.
At your session, tinted goggles will be provided to protect your eyes from laser light and to provide some measure of privacy during treatment with the laser – typically women may choose their bikini area or chin and upper lip area; men can have other parts removed.
At most, discomfort associated with laser hair removal treatments should only be mild. You might notice some mild heat as laser light beams target melanin in your hair to destroy it; when your hair grows back after treatment it should be much thinner and lighter than before treatment began.
Maintenance
Unwanted hair can be an inconvenience for both men and women. Waxing, shaving and plucking unwanted hair is time consuming and ineffective at producing results; often leading to razor burn, ingrown hairs or other side effects such as razor burn. Thanks to laser technology in Columbia, Lexington and surrounding South Carolina communities there is now a permanent solution+ available for unwanted hair removal.
Laser hair removal works by heating up pigment found within hair follicles, damaging them so they no longer produce hair and creating much finer and lighter-colored regrowth. Multiple sessions will likely be necessary before clients achieve desired results; it is advised that they be scheduled 4-6 weeks apart for optimal results.
Prior to treatment, it is vital that hair in the area be short and in its natural state; uncolored by dye or bleach. You should also limit sun exposure for two weeks leading up to laser hair removal sessions; this includes tanning beds and self-tanners as they could inhibit its effectiveness. During your session, protective goggles will be provided; you may experience a temporary pinprick sensation as the laser makes contact with hair follicles but this won’t last long; our Triton laser applicator features a cooling sapphire tip which minimizes discomfort before, during, and post treatment; we even offer numbing gel for sensitive areas!
After your treatment, you may experience redness and swelling similar to a mild sunburn; this should pass quickly as hair that falls out will be much finer and lighter in color than before. Furthermore, one or two touch-up sessions annually will ensure smooth bikini lines.
Brazilian laser hair removal can be life-changing for many. From eliminating body hair entirely to simply taking care of problem spots, laser treatment offers an alternative that’s less costly than shaving and waxing alone – as well as saving both time and money in terms of laborious maintenance tasks.
