Laser Hair Removal Treatment Overview

Laser hair removal at Aestheticare STL uses focused diode laser energy to heat and disable hair follicles. This non-invasive method is precise, with minimal discomfort, and requires no downtime. Sessions are quick and produce noticeable results after each treatment. It’s a long-term solution for anyone tired of daily hair removal routines. Our expert team ensures every session is safe and customized to meet your specific goals.

Laser Hair Removal vs. Other Treatments

Compared to waxing, shaving, or depilatory creams, laser hair removal provides longer-lasting and more effective results. While traditional methods only remove surface hair, diode laser technology targets the root for lasting smoothness. Plus, there’s no irritation, razor burn, or recurring costs—just smooth skin that lasts. It’s an ideal upgrade from outdated hair removal practices.

What Laser Hair Removal Treats

Laser hair removal treats unwanted body and facial hair, from common areas like underarms and legs to sensitive spots like the upper lip and bikini line. It’s also effective for reducing ingrown hairs and minimizing skin irritation. At Aestheticare STL, our diode laser treatments are suitable for a variety of skin tones and hair textures.

Benefits

PRECISE AND ACCURATE

Not only can lasers target specific areas of the skin, but they can also target specific pigments. That gives them the ability to remove unwanted hair while leaving the rest of the skin unharmed.

The targeted technology also allows us to address hair in hard-to-reach or delicate zones, offering a more personalized and safer approach compared to traditional methods. By adjusting settings based on skin type and hair color, our technicians deliver optimal results with confidence.

FAST AND EASY PROCESS

Pulses of light only take a fraction of a second while treating multiple hairs at once. Laser hair removal can treat a quarter-sized area every second, making the process quick and easy.

Clients appreciate that treatments can be scheduled during a lunch break or between errands, making it easy to stay on track with your hair removal goals. The speed and simplicity make it an ideal choice for busy professionals and parents alike.

LONG-LASTING RESULTS

Unlike other hair removal methods, laser hair removal in St. Louis gives permanent hair reduction benefits. Since the laser destroys the hair follicle’s growth centers, hair can no longer grow back.

These lasting results translate into less maintenance, fewer ingrown hairs, and smoother skin throughout the year. Many patients enjoy improved confidence and comfort in their skin, knowing they can rely on consistent, visible results with minimal effort.

Step-by-Step Process

You’ll first meet with us for a free consultation to examine your hair type, skin tone, and goals.

This helps us customize your treatment plan and set expectations for the best possible results. Our team will also discuss your expectations and answer any questions, ensuring you feel informed and confident before starting treatment.

We apply diode light energy to the selected area, where it penetrates the skin and disrupts the hair follicles responsible for growth.

Using diode laser technology, we deliver light energy directly to your hair follicles. The procedure is fast, and patients often describe the sensation as a gentle snap against the skin. Depending on the area, a topical numbing cream may be applied to maximize comfort throughout the session.

Once we’re done, you’re free to go about the rest of your day without downtime. You’ll need multiple treatments to keep up with your hair growth cycle.

You may notice minor redness, which typically fades within hours. To achieve optimal results, multiple sessions spaced weeks apart are recommended. Our team will provide post-care tips to enhance your results and keep your skin feeling its best.

How it Works

Laser hair removal targets and disables hair growth at its root. During treatment, concentrated light energy is absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicle. This energy converts to heat, which damages the follicle enough to slow or stop future growth while keeping the surrounding skin protected.

1

The Science Behind Follicle Targeting

Each pulse of the laser selectively seeks out melanin within the hair shaft. Because the beam is so precise, it affects only the follicle and not the surrounding tissue. As the follicle absorbs the heat, its ability to produce new hair is gradually reduced. Over time, repeated exposure weakens the follicle to the point where hair becomes finer, lighter, and less noticeable.

2

Why Multiple Sessions Are Needed

Hair grows in cycles, and the laser can only disable follicles that are in the active growth phase. Since not all hair is in this stage at the same time, multiple treatments are necessary to catch each follicle at the right moment. With consistent sessions, you’ll see a significant reduction, smoother texture, and long-term improvement.

Common treatment areas include the arms, underarms, legs, chin, upper lip, bikini line, and back. These zones often show the most noticeable improvement because they tend to experience irritation from shaving and waxing. With each visit, you get closer to lasting smoothness and minimal maintenance.
