How to Pay for Aesthetic Treatments: Financing, Memberships and Specials
Laser hair reduction uses light energy to damage hair follicles so they produce less hair over time, and most people need a series of about six to eight sessions for lasting results. At Allied Medical Aesthetics, we use Sciton® laser technology with settings customized to your skin and hair.
The laser targets the pigment in the hair. That energy travels down the hair shaft and heats the follicle, reducing its ability to grow new hair. Because only hairs in their active growth phase respond, sessions are spaced out to catch each hair at the right time.
Hair grows in cycles, and only a portion of your hair is actively growing at any one time. A series of treatments, usually spaced four to eight weeks apart depending on the area, treats each wave of growth. Most people see a significant, long-lasting reduction after a full series, with occasional maintenance sessions.
Most people describe a quick snap or warm pinch. Built-in cooling helps keep sessions comfortable, and small areas take just minutes.
Mild redness, warmth and small raised bumps around follicles are common and usually settle within a few hours to a day. Treated hairs may seem to keep growing before they shed, which is normal. Avoid heat, intense exercise and sun on the area for a day or two, and wear SPF.
It provides long-lasting reduction. Some hair may return over time, especially with hormonal changes, and occasional touch-ups keep results going.
Laser works best on hair with pigment. Very light blond, gray or red hair responds less. Your provider will assess your skin and hair at a consultation.
Fall and winter are ideal because sun exposure is lower, and starting then can give you smoother skin by summer.
