Laser hair removal is a safe, non-invasive treatment that offers a long-lasting solution for unwanted hair on various body areas. At AquaViva MedSpa, we use advanced laser technology to target and reduce hair growth, providing you with skin that is smooth, hair-free, and free of nicks and cuts.
Non-invasive laser treatment
30 minutes to 1 hour (depending on the area treated)
No downtime (some redness may occur but typically subsides quickly)
Before Treatment
Before your session, avoid exposure to the sun and the use of tanning products. For optimal results, it is recommended that you shave the treatment area the day before your appointment.
During Treatment
The session typically lasts 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the treated area. You may feel slight discomfort, similar to a light rubber band snap, but most clients find it tolerable.
After Treatment
The treated area may feel mildly red or sensitive, which usually subsides within a few hours. Apply sunscreen to treated areas and avoid direct sun exposure.
While laser hair removal offers long-term hair reduction, multiple sessions (typically 4-6) are required for optimal results, spaced about 4-6 weeks apart. Occasional maintenance sessions may be needed, especially for finer or lighter hair areas.
While most clients experience minimal discomfort, it varies from person to person and based on the area being treated. The sensation is often compared to a mild rubber band snap.
Most individuals require 4-6 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart for best results. This ensures the laser can effectively target hair during different growth phases.
Common side effects include mild redness or swelling, typically subsiding within a few hours. Serious side effects are rare when a trained professional performs the procedure.
Laser hair removal offers longer-lasting results compared to waxing or shaving. While shaving only cuts the hair at the surface and waxing removes it from the root, laser treatment targets the hair follicle to reduce future growth. Over time, this means fewer sessions are needed and the hair regrowth becomes finer and sparser.
Yes, laser hair removal is safe for sensitive areas, including the bikini line, face, and underarms. Our trained technicians adjust the laser settings to ensure safety and comfort, even on delicate skin. Some clients may experience slightly more sensitivity in these areas, but the procedure remains highly effective.
While laser hair removal significantly reduces hair growth, some hair may eventually regrow over time. However, this hair is typically finer and lighter than before. Occasional maintenance sessions can help ensure long-lasting smoothness and keep regrowth to a minimum.
