Laser hair removal offers a permanent solution to unwanted hair growth. By dismantling and eliminating individual follicles, it acts as a safe and efficient treatment option that works on any part of the body.
At our medical spa, the Motus AY laser provides pain-free laser hair reduction suitable for all skin tones and types. Its sapphire chill tip eliminates “rubber band snap” sensation to make treatment more tolerable for most patients.
How does painless laser hair removal work?
Laser hair removal is an efficient, safe, and long-term solution to unwanted body hair that’s both permanent and painless. New technologies now make painless laser hair removal available across Greater Philadelphia area.
At Ciao Bella Medical Center and Spa, our aesthetics professionals offer painless laser hair removal treatments using our Icon device, which emits light beams that target pigment found both on your skin and hair follicles – breaking them up and stopping future growth. Furthermore, unlike traditional lasers, our device employs a cooling mechanism designed to soothe its surface while limiting discomfort.
Laser hair removal will vary in its degree of pain depending on your density, color and location of hairs being removed. For instance, treating thicker skin areas like your back may not hurt as much while thinner skin areas like your upper lip could make things more sensitive.
Those concerned with discomfort should speak with an aesthetics professional before scheduling their appointment. They can recommend ways to help reduce and alleviate it, such as applying an ice pack or topical anesthetics.
After your treatment, it is normal for you to experience some mild irritation in the treated area of skin. This should pass within days; keeping your skin cool and free of moisturizing creams and other products may speed up this process further.

What can I expect during a treatment?
Laser hair reduction treatments are safe and effective solutions for people of all skin types. It typically requires multiple sessions in order to reach desired results; making this an attractive alternative for those looking for relief from shaving, plucking and waxing.
As part of a treatment, we will gently stretch the area being treated and use laser heat to target hair roots with laser. Once we target them, this painless procedure disintegrates their follicle and prevents further hair production – many patients compare the experience to a hot stone massage! During your in-person consultation we will discuss which options would work best for you; other diagnostic tests might include blood work, MRI or PET scans which your Care Team nurse can arrange and schedule as necessary.
Adults with dark hair and light-colored skin make ideal candidates for laser hair removal, since darker locks tend to contain densely pigmented locks more responsive to laser energy than lighter locks.
Laser hair removal can be an ideal option for people who have fine-textured hair and light-colored skin, though more treatment sessions are typically required for less dramatic improvements. Unfortunately, it should not be performed on individuals taking Accutane or similar acne medications, sun allergy sufferers or individuals with sensitive skin; pregnant and nursing women also cannot benefit from laser hair removal treatments.
After your initial treatment sessions, you should notice that unwanted hair is gradually diminishing. After receiving all necessary treatments, no more shaving, plucking, or waxing will be necessary; some hair may return but it should be much thinner and lighter in color than before; in many cases one maintenance session every year suffices to keep up their hairless lifestyle.
Motus AY painless technology stands apart from other laser hair reduction methods by not requiring anesthetic creams for all skin types to make treatments comfortable and effective. Instead, its in-motion technique gradually distributes low laser heat over a wider area to lessen discomfort while increasing efficacy. Furthermore, our technology boasts an innovative dual-cooling tip designed to protect and cool the surface of skin during treatment to ensure an enjoyable experience for you.
How long will a treatment take?
Laser hair removal may be the perfect solution if you’re tired of tweezing, shaving and waxing your body to remove unwanted hairs, but some individuals find the pain associated with this method hard to bear.
Laser technology now offers an almost painless experience, making this treatment safe and effective for all skin types and hair colors. The system works by targeting pigment in hair to absorb light energy delivered into follicles; then heat is generated which destroys them, thus stopping further hair growth.
Before beginning laser treatment, it is vital that the area being addressed be shaved. This step ensures the light energy reaches the roots of hair to effectively deactivate them; you must also forego plucking or waxing beforehand.
For optimal results, attend regular medical spa sessions spread out over weeks to achieve maximum effect. This allows your professional to target hair follicles at different stages in their growth cycle and thus increase effectiveness of each session.
Initial treatments may be painful; however, subsequent sessions become more tolerable over time. Patients often describe this sensation as relaxing – similar to receiving a hot stone massage.
Though you may still see some hairs growing back, they will likely be much lighter and finer than before. Many opt for maintenance sessions every few years to keep their intimate areas hair free.
Laser hair removal offers an effective alternative to shaving or waxing for anyone tired of shaving their body hair. Our state-of-the-art technology can target all colors and thicknesses of hair for smoother, more attractive skin.

What can I expect after a treatment?
Laser hair removal treatments that provide maximum efficacy involve multiple sessions administered over time by medical spa professionals. This approach allows them to specifically target melanin in hair follicles, while protecting surrounding skin from damage. Furthermore, this gives each hair follicle enough time to regrow with less hairs that typically return finer, less dense and lighter in tone than before.
If you are considering this treatment option, be sure to discuss strategies with your licensed medical provider to alleviate pain and discomfort during and after treatment. These may include using numbing agents, icing beforehand and chill tips on the laser itself. It’s also essential that they discuss what your tolerance level for pain might be before scheduling your first session.
Laser hair removal can be an extremely comfortable procedure for most people, with some experiencing only a sensation similar to rubber band snapping against their skin during treatment. Although there may be an intensity similar to shaving or waxing, laser treatments have much lower discomfort levels overall. You should wait at least two weeks between any other body hair removal treatments and laser sessions and protecting the area after receiving laser therapy treatment from sun exposure.
Although laser hair removal treatments aren’t permanent, they do provide long-term results that far outstrip shaving or waxing. Most individuals require at least five sessions spread out about every four weeks to achieve desired results.
Adults with darker hair and light-colored skin are ideal candidates for laser hair removal, since darker strands have denser pigmentation that can be more easily targeted by laser beams. Light-colored skin acts as a buffer that decreases heat transfer to hair follicles during treatment.
For effective melanin targeting in hair follicles, they must be in their growth phase of their cycle. Therefore, multiple treatment sessions over an extended period are key – this will ensure each follicle is targeted when its most active stage of development arrives. A medical spa professional can ensure each hair follicle receives optimal attention at just the right time.
