Laser hair removal is a highly sought-after treatment for individuals seeking a long-term solution to unwanted hair. Unlike temporary methods like shaving, waxing, or plucking, laser technology targets hair at the follicle, inhibiting regrowth over time. This non-invasive procedure is not only efficient but also gentle on your skin. Here are some key benefits of laser hair removal at Aesthetic Island:

Laser hair removal at Aesthetic Island is a straightforward and efficient process. Here’s what you can expect during your visit:
Laser hair removal is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment that uses focused light energy to target and destroy hair follicles, preventing future hair growth. During the procedure, a laser emits light absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair. This light energy converts to heat, which damages the follicle without harming the surrounding skin. Over multiple sessions, the damage to the follicles inhibits their ability to regrow hair. At Aesthetic Island, we use state-of-the-art laser technology that is safe for various skin tones and hair types, ensuring effective and long-lasting results for all our clients.
The number of laser hair removal sessions needed varies depending on factors such as the treatment area, hair thickness, and hair growth cycle. On average, most individuals require 6 to 8 sessions spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart to achieve optimal results. Hair grows in cycles, and the laser is most effective during the active growth phase (anagen phase). Because not all hair follicles are in this phase simultaneously, multiple treatments are necessary to target all follicles. During your consultation at Aesthetic Island, our experts will assess your needs and create a customized treatment plan.
Laser hair removal is a safe and widely performed cosmetic procedure, especially when conducted by trained professionals like the team at Aesthetic Island. The treatment is FDA-approved and suitable for various skin types and tones. While generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience mild side effects, such as temporary redness, swelling, or slight skin sensitivity in the treated area. These effects typically subside within a few hours to a day. To ensure your safety and comfort, our specialists will provide pre- and post-treatment care instructions and use advanced laser systems designed for both efficacy and skin protection.
Most people describe the sensation of laser hair removal as a mild discomfort similar to the snap of a rubber band against the skin. Advanced laser systems, like those used at Aesthetic Island, often include cooling mechanisms that minimize discomfort during the procedure. The level of discomfort varies depending on the treated area, individual pain tolerance, and the thickness of the hair. For sensitive areas, a topical numbing cream may be applied before the session to enhance comfort. Rest assured, our experienced staff will prioritize your comfort and make your laser hair removal experience as pain-free as possible.
Yes, shaving is the recommended method of hair removal between laser sessions. In fact, you should shave the treatment area a day or two before your appointment to ensure the laser targets the hair follicles beneath the skin effectively. Avoid methods like waxing, plucking, or threading, as they remove the hair from the follicle, which is necessary for the laser to work. Shaving is safe and allows the hair follicle to remain intact while keeping the skin smooth for treatment. During your consultation at Aesthetic Island, we’ll provide detailed guidelines on how to prepare for your sessions.
