What is laser hair removal?

If unwanted body hair is a concern for you, you’ve come to the right place. At Valar Aesthetics, we offer exceptional laser hair removal services. Laser hair removal, a globally recognized cosmetic procedure, effectively eliminates unwanted hair from various body parts.

The procedure involves the emission of a concentrated light beam into the hair follicles, which eliminates the hair from its root and results in a marked reduction of hair growth in the treated areas.Rest assured, the laser technology is designed to specifically target the hair follicles without causing damage to the surrounding skin, enhancing the safety and efficacy of the procedure.

What Is The Procedure Like?

The laser hair removal experience is a journey, it isn’t a one-and-done treatment. Laser hair removal takes between 6 and 12 months (6 to 12 treatments) to achieve maximum results. This is because there are 4 stages of growth to any hair, and hair can only be effectively treated during the 4th growth stage. For this reason, appointments must be spaced 4 weeks apart to ensure adequate treatment.

For the procedure, some patients prefer to numb while others do not. It depends on the color and thickness of the hair in the desired treatment area. Gray, white, and light blonde hairs cannot be treated effectively with laser hair removal. If you choose to use topical numbing, typically we will numb for 30-45 minutes and the procedure will take between 10 minutes and an hour, depending on the area. You will be given protective eyewear to ensure your eye safety during laser operations. A medical grade ultrasound gel will be applied to the treatment area to help the laser handpiece glide and assist with patient comfort.

Pulses of laser energy are delivered to the hair follicles, eliminating hairs that are in the proper growth stage.

Risks?
What to do before the procedure?

RISK:
There is a risk of burning, scarring, and skin color changes if administered by an inexperienced individual. You significantly reduce these risks by having your laser hair removal performed by our experienced medical professionals.

During your laser hair removal journey, hair in the treatment area may lighten and may also appear patchy until treatment series is completed.

What to do before the procedure?
Before each laser hair removal visit, it is essential that you shave the treatment area 2-3 days before coming into the office. If the hair is too long or too short, the treatment may not be appropriate and more treatments may be needed. To minimize discomfort, we also recommend stopping any skin sensitizing skincare for a week prior to your appointment. This includes AHAs, BHAs, other chemical exfoliants, Vitamin C and retinols.
