Is Laser Hair Removal Painful?

Laser hair removal is a well-tolerated procedure that most patients compare to having a rubber band lightly snapped against their skin. Our medical team will alleviate any discomfort you may experience and advise you on caring for your skin and maintaining your results.

How Many Appointments Will I Need?

Since hair grows in cycles, laser hair removal requires several sessions to target hair during its active growth phase. Most will need six to eight treatments. The number of sessions you’ll need depends on your hair color, skin type, hormone levels, and what you want to achieve. At your consultation, your Youthopia provider will create a treatment plan that delivers the best, longest-lasting results.

How Long Until I See the Results?

Although laser hair removal provides immediate results, it may take multiple sessions to turn off the hair follicles and prevent regrowth. Our treatment options cover a wide range of hair removal needs: Small area: this option includes hair removal in the lip, chin, toes, sideburns, and feet Medium area: the face, neck, underarms, and bikini area are treated Large area: the full face, full bikini, upper or lower legs, and arm areas are addressed Extra large: an ideal option for men, this membership offers hair removal for the full back, full legs, chest, abs, and a full bikini with Brazilian.

What Are the Risks Associated with Laser Hair Removal?

Slight flushing or redness, akin to a sunburn, may occur for a day or so after treatment, but laser hair removal has no major side effects.

What is Laser Hair Removal?

Currently, the most permanent solution for removing unwanted body hair, laser hair removal, is quickly becoming one of the most commonly performed cosmetic treatments in the United States. Using highly concentrated laser energy, a handheld device emits beams of light directly into treated areas. The light is then absorbed by the hair follicles, destroying the hair and disabling the follicle.

At Youthtopia, we use the Cynosure Elite IQ® laser, a high-powered system that delivers energy faster and gets results more quickly than other lasers. With the ability to treat all skin types safely and effectively, the Cynosure Elite IQ® is at the top of its class for laser hair removal. This new laser now features Skintel®, the only Melanin Reader® in the industry! The Skintel® allows your esthetician to remove the hair precisely!

What Areas Can Be Treated?

We offer individual sessions that treat small to extra-large areas of the body. Depending on where your unwanted hair is located, we offer several removal options, including:

Upper lip
Chin, sideburns, and face
Face and neck
Full face
Bikini line
Full bikini

Combining My Laser Hair Removal with Other Treatments

Laser hair removal removes unwanted hair without harming the surrounding skin, so many clients choose to combine it with treatments that improve their skin tone, texture, and appearance.

Hydrafacial is an excellent complement to laser hair removal because it deeply cleanses, exfoliates, and hydrates the skin. It will help you maintain smooth, healthy-looking skin by removing impurities and replenishing moisture.

Laser Hair Removal Recovery

Your Guide to Post-Laser Hair Removal Care

After laser hair removal, you will see some redness or slight swelling around the treated areas, but this will go away in a few hours to a day.

In the days after your treatment, the treated hairs will slowly fall out as the follicles become inactive.

For the first 24 to 48 hours, avoid excessive sun exposure, tanning beds, hot tubs, and strenuous exercise. You’ll also want to use sunscreen and follow your provider’s aftercare advice to help protect your skin and give you the best results.
