Laser hair removal is a non-invasive cosmetic solution to permanently reduce and long-term eliminate hair. Light energy is used to destroy melanin-rich follicles so they no longer produce new strands of hair growth.
Eliminate shaving, waxing and depilation costs with electrolysis instead. While initially costly, this procedure actually saves money in the long run since hair grows back less frequently and finer.
Aesthetics
Laser hair removal can provide permanent hair reduction by applying light energy directly to melanin-rich hair follicles, damaging and stopping them from growing new hair follicles. Our team at Belle Aesthetics uses the FDA-approved Cynosure Icon system, with multiple modes that enable us to tailor treatments specifically to you and measure melanin density before each session, so our providers know exactly how much energy will be necessary to produce optimal results.
Before your laser session begins, we may apply topical anesthetic cream to reduce discomfort if necessary. Once that’s in place, your laser technician will carefully target only your unwanted hair with laser light treatment – this may only take minutes for smaller areas like facial hair removal and up to half an hour for larger ones such as legs or arms. Once treatment has concluded, you will be free to return immediately back to normal activities.
Many find shaving, waxing and plucking tedious and time consuming tasks to manage on a regular basis. If this has become tiresome for you and causes irritation and pain during traditional hair removal processes, consider laser treatments as an alternative solution.
At our medical spa, the SPLENDOR X laser is designed to be safe for all skin types. This cutting-edge laser offers two wavelengths to meet your unique needs: Alexandrite is great for light skin while Nd:YAG works wonders on darker complexions; then our SPLENDOR X technology blends these wavelengths for the optimal customized treatment regimen for you.
Safety
Laser hair removal offers an alternative to plucking and shaving that does not produce ingrown hairs or razor bumps that itch and cause pain; laser technology removes unwanted hair permanently while saving both time and money over time. Treatment schedules will vary according to body and hair growth rates – perhaps six visits should suffice to achieve your desired results.
Select a qualified provider with experience using the optimal laser technology for your skin tone. While earlier generations of lasers could not differentiate between pigment in your skin and dark hair, today’s latest generation can effectively treat most types of skin. Your initial consultation will involve your provider identifying your Fitzpatrick skin type as well as discussing potential treatment plans.
Lasers do not cause skin cancer, but they may produce temporary redness and swelling in some individuals. To minimize this side effect, avoid direct sunlight or tanning booths for at least several weeks before and after receiving laser therapy treatments; additionally, any medication such as Accutane could interact negatively with lasers and should also be discontinued prior to getting treatment.
Laser hair removal sessions are quick and relatively painless procedures. A cold gel is applied to the treatment area before placing a hand-held device with a cooling tip against it for several seconds; after which time you should feel a slight snapping sensation; additional comfort measures may be available but are usually not required.

Side Effects
Laser hair removal is a non-invasive treatment option to permanently reduce facial or body hair. Suitable for men and women of all ages, laser hair removal eliminates the need for shaving, tweezing, waxing and electrolysis treatments that damage skin. Furthermore, its quickness and effectiveness makes this a highly popular method.
During this process, a practitioner will press a hand-held laser instrument against your skin, equipped with either a cooling device or gel tip for added comfort and reduced side effects. As the laser beam passes through the top layers of skin to reach hair follicles and absorb its heat energy to disable them and stop future hair growth, its heat penetrates deep within them causing their heating mechanism to stop producing additional hair growth in those follicles.
Procedures typically take place at a doctor’s office or clinic and are generally painless for most individuals. Each area typically takes several minutes per session and you should return to regular activities immediately afterwards. Some may experience sunburn-like sensations and minor swelling that typically last two to 24 hours post treatment; numbing cream may help alleviate any discomfort during this process.
Prior to your laser hair removal session, it is essential that the area being treated be trimmed and shaved. Sunless tanning products must also be avoided while sunscreen with a high SPF rating is preferred. Furthermore, six weeks should pass between plucking/tweezing/waxing sessions and laser hair removal procedures for best results. Furthermore, it would be wise not to take blood-thinner medications prior to this process.
Lasers can cause irreparable harm to your eyes, so practitioners will wear protective eyewear during laser procedures. You may be able to tolerate them without this protective gear – however if light sensitivity becomes an issue you should inform your practitioner immediately.
Before and after receiving laser treatments, it’s best to avoid direct sunlight as any laser treatment can burn you. Also try avoiding tanning beds for safety purposes and always wear a broad-spectrum SPF 30 sunscreen when outdoors. Also be wary of bleaching creams which darken skin tones; any changes from using numbing cream may result in temporary changes that will eventually disappear over time.
