Laser Hair Removal

How does Laser Hair Removal work?

Melanin is what gives your hair and skin its color. We set the laser wavelength to match the color of the melanin in the hair shafts in the treatment areas. Then, when we direct the laser light down onto those hair shafts, the melanin absorbs the light energy and it converts to heat. That heat travels down the hair shaft into the follicle at the base. The heat then damages or destroys the hair follicle, preventing it from producing hair.

How long the procedure take?

The length of a session depends on the size of the area being treated. Some areas will take only a few minutes while some larger areas like the legs can take an hour.

Is it painful?

Opulent Aesthetics laser hair removal and has an advanced cooling feature that keeps you comfortable during your treatment. Patients tell us the feeling during the laser pulses is similar to that of a small rubber band being snapped against the skin, followed by a cooling sensation. Some areas are more sensitive than others, but these brief laser hair removal treatments are still more comfortable than shaving or waxing every couple of weeks forever.
