Laser hair removal is a non-invasive and painless procedure that induces permanent hair loss in targeted areas of the body. This treatment destroys the targeted hair follicles, thereby stopping hair growth forever. Laser hair removal is suitable for treatment areas that you want to smoothen permanently, such as the shoulders, underarms, legs, or upper lips. It liberates you from the need for constant maintenance in the form of waxing, shaving, and tweezing, and the treatment itself is painless and comfortable. Medical Aesthetics is here for you for your Evergreen laser hair removal needs.

How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
Each individual hair strand grows out of a tube-like hair follicle in three stages: anagen, catagen, and telogen. The growing hair is connected to the hair follicle and root in the first stage (anagen), but it gradually gets disengaged and falls away. When the laser energy is directed at the unwanted hair follicles, the pigment in the hair absorbs the energy and is destroyed. All the unwanted hair follicles in the anagen stage are immediately destroyed, stopping hair growth completely. The other hair follicles can be targeted with laser energy over successive sessions once they reach the anagen stage.
Which Device/Technique Do You Use for Laser Hair Removal?
Medical Aesthetics uses highly advanced laser systems to provide effective hair reduction across a wide range of skin tones and hair textures. Two leading-edge technologies are available, allowing treatments to be highly customized. Both systems are safe and extremely comfortable.
Nd YAG laser technology delivers energy deeper into the skin, making it well suited for darker skin tones and coarser hair. Its longer wavelength bypasses surface pigment and targets the hair follicle below the skin’s surface, helping reduce irritation and unwanted skin reactions. This technology is often selected for larger treatment areas or patients with more deeply rooted hair but may suit many other patients, too.
ProWave by Cutera uses a broad-spectrum light approach that allows for controlled energy delivery. This system can be effective for finer or lighter hair that may not respond as well to traditional lasers. Its adjustable settings allow our providers to tailor treatments based on hair density, color, and sensitivity of the treatment area.
By offering multiple technologies, Medical Aesthetics can select the most appropriate option for each patient, supporting safer treatments and more predictable outcomes.

How Is Laser Hair Removal Performed?
Our Evergreen laser hair removal provider carefully examines the hair in the targeted regions, discusses your goals, and reviews your medical history. The laser device is adjusted according to your specific skin quality and hair color, and it’s guided over the treatment areas. As the laser energy enters your skin, you experience a slight warming sensation, but there’s no pain. The entire treatment concludes within 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area.
What Are the Side Effects of Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal increases your skin’s temperature and leads to mild redness, similar to a sunburn. However, there are no harsh side effects or complications.
What Is the Recovery Process After Laser Hair Removal?
You can resume all your daily activities and work immediately after the treatment, but you should avoid direct sun and excessive heat for 48-72 hours.
When Will I See the Results From Laser Hair Removal?
The results will gradually appear over 2 to 4 weeks as the unwanted hairs fall out. However, you’ll need to schedule multiple sessions spaced one month apart to achieve permanently hair-free skin. That’s because each session only targets hair
Am I a Candidate for Laser Hair Removal?
You’re a candidate for laser hair removal if you have unwanted hair in some body parts that you constantly wax or shave off. Laser hair removal can permanently smoothen the area, so you never have to worry about waxing again. The aesthetic technician will carefully assess your skin and hair quality to ensure you’re a suitable candidate for the treatment.

FAQs About Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal depends on pigment within the hair, which can make very light or gray hair more challenging to treat. Medical Aesthetics uses advanced technology, including ProWave by Cutera, which is designed to improve treatment response for finer and lighter hair types. ProWave delivers controlled energy across a broader range of wavelengths, allowing it to better address hair that may not respond well to traditional single-wavelength lasers. While gray hair may still be less predictable, many patients with lighter hair experience visible reduction over a series of sessions. During your consultation, your provider will assess your hair characteristics and discuss realistic expectations based on your individual profile. Laser hair removal is not performed directly over tattoos. The laser may interact with tattoo ink, which can irritate the skin or alter the tattoo’s appearance. Areas around tattoos can often be treated safely with proper planning. Laser hair removal is typically postponed during pregnancy as a precaution. Breastfeeding patients should discuss treatment timing and areas with their provider to determine an appropriate plan. Temporary redness is common after treatment, while long-term discoloration is uncommon. The risk may increase with sun exposure before or after sessions, which is why sun avoidance and aftercare instructions are important. Laser hair removal provides long-lasting reduction, but hormonal changes or new hair growth can occur over time. Some patients choose occasional maintenance sessions to manage regrowth. There is no set age requirement. Candidates should have stable hair growth and healthy skin. Your provider will help determine whether treatment is appropriate for you. The technology used is the same, but treatment areas and session frequency may differ due to hair density and growth patterns. Treatment plans are customized based on individual needs rather than gender. |
