Laser Hair Removal
Laser Hair Removal at True Skin Aesthetics
At True Skin Aesthetics, we’re committed to offering safe, effective, and comfortable laser hair removal treatments for all skin types. Our state-of-the-art Cynosure Elite+ system uses dual wavelengths—the Alexandrite 755NM laser for lighter skin tones and the ND:YAG 1064NM laser for darker skin tones—making our treatments both customizable and highly effective. With this advanced technology, we can safely and precisely target unwanted hair, providing lasting results for smooth, beautiful skin for everyone!
How Laser Hair Removal Works
Our laser hair removal process focuses energy directly into the hair follicle, where pigment absorbs the light, effectively damaging and disabling the follicle’s ability to regrow hair. Over a series of sessions, you’ll notice a significant reduction in hair growth as each treated follicle enters a resting phase and eventually sheds. Ideal candidates for Laser Hair Removal have coarse textured hair in the treatment area. Our Cynosure Elite+ laser is designed for optimal comfort and speed, covering larger areas in less time and using an advanced cooling system to keep your skin protected and comfortable throughout each session. We recommend a series of 6-9 treatments spaced 8-10 weeks apart.
What to Expect During Your Session
Before the treatment begins, your laser technician will prepare the area by cleaning and marking it for precision. You’ll be given protective eyewear, and a cooling gel may be applied for additional comfort as needed. As the laser passes over your skin, you may feel a mild sensation similar to a warm pinprick or snap. With our Cynosure Elite+ system, most clients find the experience comfortable, even in sensitive areas.
Depending on the size of the treatment area, sessions can range from 10 to 90 minutes. Afterward, the area may be slightly pink or warm, similar to a mild sunburn, but this typically subsides within a few hours.
Pre-Treatment Care
To ensure the best results and minimize any risk of irritation, follow these simple guidelines before each session:
- Shave the area 24 hours before your appointment to target hair follicles directly without surface hair interference.
- Avoid sun exposure for at least 2 weeks before treatment, as tanned skin can be more sensitive to the laser. This applies for artificial spray tans or lotions as well.
- Skip any waxing or plucking or any other method of removing hair by the follicle 4 weeks before your session, as the laser requires intact hair follicles within the skin to be effective.
- Avoid topical products like prescription creams, retinoids, acids, or exfoliants on the treatment area for 3-5 days before your appointment. Use of such products in the treatment area can lead to excess sensitivity.
Post-Treatment Care
Following each session, your skin will need a little extra care to ensure optimal healing:
- Apply a cool compress if you experience any mild swelling or redness. A topical over the counter hydrocortisone cream or Aloe may be applied as well.
- Avoid direct sun exposure and wear SPF 30+ on all exposed treated areas after each session.
- Moisturize the area daily with gentle, non-irritating products.
- Skip hot showers, saunas, or intense workouts for 24 hours post-treatment to prevent irritation.
