Laser Hair Removal 101
Are you tired of constantly shaving, waxing, or dealing with ingrown hairs? Laser hair removal is a long-lasting solution that gives you smooth, hair-free skin without the hassle. At Serenity Aesthetics, we offer advanced laser hair removal treatments that are effective, safe, and suitable for all skin types.
How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
Laser hair removal uses concentrated light to target the pigment in hair follicles. The light energy is absorbed by the pigment, destroying the hair follicle and preventing future hair growth. Because hair grows in cycles, multiple sessions are needed to treat all follicles effectively.
Areas Suitable for Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal can be performed on almost any area of the body, including:
Face (upper lip, chin)
Underarms
Bikini line
Legs
Back and chest
What to Expect During and After Treatment
Each session lasts between 15 minutes to an hour, depending on the area being treated. Most clients describe the sensation as a slight snap, similar to a rubber band against the skin. After treatment, you may experience mild redness or sensitivity, but this typically subsides within a few hours.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
For best results, 6–8 sessions are recommended, spaced 4–6 weeks apart. After completing your sessions, you’ll enjoy smooth skin with significantly reduced hair growth. Occasional maintenance treatments may be needed for touch-ups.
