What is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is a permanent hair removal solution that uses laser energy to heat and destroy hair follicles from the surface of the skin. Once the desired hair follicles are treated with laser energy, they will no longer be able to produce hair. Although the use of lasers can be intimidating, laser hair removal devices are safe and gentle enough to be used all over the body. Common treatment areas for laser hair removal include:

  • Armpits
  • Back
  • Legs
  • Bikini line
  • Upper lip
  • Chest
  • Abdomen

At Suite Six Medical Aesthetics, we offer laser hair removal with the Cutera Excel HR and the Soprano ICE Platinum laser hair removal systems. These options allow us to fulfill all hair removal goals, regardless of skin type, hair type, or gender.

What is Alma Soprano ICE Platinum Laser Hair Removal?

At Suite Six Medical Aesthetics, we are proud to use the Alma Soprano ICE Platinum system for laser hair removal. The Alma Soprano ICE Platinum laser is a state-of-the-art laser technology that is considered the best option for laser hair removal due to its unique features and advantages. The main advantage is its “in-motion” technology. This technology allows the laser to target the hair follicles more effectively and efficiently, resulting in faster treatment times and more comfortable procedures for the patient. Additionally, it uses a dual-wavelength technology that allows it to target melanin in the hair follicles without affecting the surrounding skin. This makes it safe for all skin types, including Fitzpatrick I-VI and even tanned skin. In summary, the benefits of Soprano ICE Platinum for laser hair removal include:

  • Faster treatment times
  • Safe and effective for all skin types
  • Painless treatment
  • Permanent hair removal

Is Laser Hair Removal Pain-Free?

While laser hair removal is not widely considered to be a comfortable experience, that is no longer the case with the Alma Soprano ICE Platinum laser system. It is considered to be the most painless laser hair removal treatment available today, and many patients have described the experience as pain-free!

This is because the Alma Soprano ICE Platinum laser is equipped with an advanced cooling system that cools the skin before, during, and after each laser pulse, which helps to minimize any discomfort or pain that patients may experience during the treatment. The cooling system works by using a combination of sapphire cooling tips, contact cooling, and cold air flow. The sapphire cooling tips are in direct contact with the skin and help to conduct heat away from the skin’s surface. The contact cooling is designed to keep the skin at a consistent temperature throughout the treatment, which helps to reduce pain and discomfort. Finally, the cold air flow is used to cool the skin between laser pulses, which helps to further minimize discomfort.

How Much Does Laser Hair Removal Cost in Boston & Newburyport, MA?

The cost of your laser hair removal at Suite Six Medical Aesthetics can vary depending on the extent of treatment necessary to deliver your desired results. During your initial consultation, we will assess your treatment goals in order to develop an individualized treatment plan. Once we determine the treatment approach that is best for you, we will be able to provide you with the exact cost of your treatment. We accept traditional payment methods and offer financing through CareCredit® for your convenience.

How is Laser Hair Removal Performed?

The laser hair removal treatment is virtually pain free, so no anesthetic is needed. Both the Cutera Excel HR and the Soprano ICE Platinum systems offer surface cooling components, which help to keep the skin cool and comfortable during treatment. When treatment begins, a handpiece will be passed over the skin as it emits laser energy to the targeted hair follicles. This process destroys the hair follicles in the treated area, preventing future hair growth. The length of this treatment can vary depending on the size of the area being treated, but most laser hair removal treatments are performed in under an hour.

Is There Downtime After Laser Hair Removal?

When using the Alma Soprano ICE Platinum laser, there is no downtime required after laser hair removal! This is because The Alma Soprano ICE Platinum laser carefully destroys hair follicles without damaging the surrounding skin. This gentle heating approach, combined with the built-in cooling system, minimizes the risk of side effects such as redness, swelling, or discomfort during or after the treatment. Additionally, because the laser energy is delivered in short pulses, the skin has time to cool down between each pulse, further reducing the risk of damage or discomfort. As a result, patients can return to their normal activities immediately after treatment, without any downtime required.

In contrast, other laser hair removal treatments require limited downtime, as the skin will be red and sensitive. Following these treatments, patients will need to limit sun exposure for a few weeks. However, these effects typically fade within a few days, and should not limit patients from returning to their normal activities.

What Results Can I Expect From Laser Hair Removal?

After laser hair removal, the treated hair follicles will shed over the following days. Laser hair removal prevents treated follicles from growing hair in the future, so the results from laser hair removal will be permanent. In order to ensure that every hair follicle in a given area is effectively treated, patients will need to undergo multiple laser hair removal treatments to achieve complete hair removal.

Laser Hair Removal FAQs

How does laser hair removal work?

Laser hair removal works by using a concentrated beam of light (laser) to target the pigment (melanin) in the hair follicle. The heat generated by the laser damages the follicle, which prevents future hair growth.

Is laser hair removal permanent?

Laser hair removal can provide long-lasting results, but it is not always permanent. The effectiveness of the treatment depends on various factors, such as hair color, skin color, and the type of laser used. At Suite Six Medical Aesthetics, we use the most advanced laser systems available to ensure long-lasting results for all patients.

Is laser hair removal safe for all skin types?

Laser hair removal can be safe for all skin types, but it may not be suitable for everyone. Darker skin types may be at a higher risk of skin damage or discoloration due to the laser targeting the melanin in the skin. At Suite Six Medical Aesthetics, we offer laser hair removal treatments that are safe and effective for all skin types by using industry-leading laser systems.

Are there any side effects of laser hair removal?

Some common side effects of laser hair removal may include redness, swelling, and temporary skin discoloration. In rare cases, blisters, scarring, or skin infections may occur. It is important to discuss any potential risks and side effects before undergoing laser hair removal.

How long does laser hair removal take to see results?

The results of laser hair removal can vary depending on several factors, such as hair color, skin color, and the area being treated. Generally, it takes multiple sessions to see noticeable results, and the interval between sessions can range from four to six weeks. Some people may start to see a reduction in hair growth after the first session, but it typically takes three to six sessions to achieve the desired results.
