Austin Laser Hair Removal

Get Rid of Unwanted Hair at the Speed of Light

Austin Dermal Fillers

Aesthetica Med Spa offers two highly successful methods of Austin Laser Hair Removal. This gives you the advantage of being offered the technology that best suits your individual needs.

LightSheer Hair Removal
Made by Lumenis, the same company that pioneered Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology, the LightSheerT diode laser is considered the industry "gold standard" in achieving permanent hair reduction. The LightSheer laser works on a range of hair colors and all skin types, including tanned skin, and has been proven to improve the appearance of razor bumps, benign pigmented lesions, sun damage and superficial leg veins in addition to removing hair. An innovative cooling device on the end of the laser wand soothes the skin after each pulse of light, ensuring that treatment is nearly pain-free.

EpiLight Hair Removal System
Using advanced pulsed light technology, the non-invasive EpiLightT Hair Removal System swiftly and painlessly removes hair from any area of the body, including the face (chin, upper lip, cheeks, nose, ears), legs, arms, underarms, back, chest, or bikini line. In a series of ten- to 30-minute sessions, the skin is coated with a cool gel before the EpiLightT hand-held treatment unit is touched to it. Pulses of light loosen hairs from their follicles beneath the skin's surface. Much of the hair can be wiped off along with the gel when the procedure is over; most of the rest falls out on its own within a week or two. Regular activities can be resumed immediately, including going to work, although the skin should be kept out of direct sunlight at first.

Permanent Hair Removal Treatments in Austin, TX

Removal of unwanted hair is one of the primary reasons many people first consider any cosmetic procedure. Today's laser hair removal devices provide quick, efficient, and affordable permanent hair reduction. The laser light is specifically tuned to be absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicle. The best candidates for hair removal are people whose hair color is much darker than their skin. In this way, the unwanted hair absorbs the laser energy and the lighter colored skin repels that same energy. Hair removal is still usually possible if your skin is darker or your hair lighter, but you may need more treatments.

Any area of the body can be treated. Virtually all the hair can be removed or perhaps you might prefer just less thick hair growth, as in the case of men's chests or beards. This can be accomplished because only the actively growing hair is destroyed by the laser. About 20% of the hair grows at any one time. Thus, for complete hair removal or major reduction, you need about five treatments. Austin laser hair removal is minimally uncomfortable, but some areas of the body are more sensitive than others. We use a very effective topical anesthetic and a laser that significantly cools the skin during the treatment. Extra sun exposure and tanning of your skin will make the process more difficult. It's better to wait on your hair removal if you have had a lot of sun. Another thing to remember is that once your hair turns white or gray as you age, then laser hair removal will not be effective. Anyone thinking about hair removal from their mid-thirties on should consider beginning the process immediately.

We are often asked, "Does every hair go away-forever?" The answer is no. By FDA law, we really call this process, permanent hair reduction. Most hair will indeed go away forever. Others will return finer and lighter. At Aesthetica MedSpa, we offer very inexpensive touch-up treatments for as long as you like if you have done your initial package with our clinic. If you're tired of shaving, bothered by excessive hair on your neck, back, or anywhere then Austin laser hair removal is the procedure for you. You can have the clean, smooth, modern look you want.
