Laser Hair Removal: The Ultimate Solution for Smooth, Hair-Free Skin

Laser Hair Removal is the ultimate solution for achieving long-lasting, smooth, hair-free skin. It is a fast and highly effective method for reducing hair growth using precise laser energy. With the right combination of skin and hair type, it can be up to 97% effective in drastically reducing the number of hairs in a given area.

Why Choose Livinz Medspa for Laser Hair Removal?

At Livinz Medspa, we prioritize safety and efficacy by utilizing the advanced Sciton BARE™ BBL laser. This state-of-the-art system is far superior to less effective IPL (Photofacial) lasers used by some clinics, which can lead to disappointing results.

Our technology offers distinct advantages:

• Suitable for All Skin Types: The Sciton BARE™ BBL laser is effective for all skin types, including darker skin tones, thanks to its combination of three unique wavelengths (810, 940, and 1060 nanometers).
• Safety and Efficiency: The three optimal wavelengths ensure safe and efficient results, minimizing treatment time.
• Comprehensive Treatment: We can safely target the entire body for simple and effective hair reduction.

Laser Hair Removal vs. Temporary Methods (Shaving & Waxing)

Laser hair removal offers a permanent, long-lasting solution, providing a significant advantage over temporary methods like shaving and waxing:

• Longevity: Laser hair removal aims to provide long-lasting results, with most individuals experiencing an 80-90% reduction in hair that doesn't regrow later in life.
• Comfort & Irritation: Shaving can cause nicks and cuts, while waxing is often painful and leads to skin irritation. Laser is a much gentler solution.
• Cost-Effectiveness: Laser hair removal is a cost-effective solution over time, saving you the cumulative costs of razors, waxing kits, and creams.

Treatment Overview: What to Expect

The duration of laser hair removal treatment depends on the area being treated.

• Treatment Areas: Can be applied to the entire body, including the face, legs, arms, underarms, chest, back, and more.
• Treatment Time: Smaller areas (e.g., upper lip, underarms) may take just a few minutes. Larger areas (e.g., chest, back, legs) can often be treated in as little as 15 minutes.
• Series Recommended: We recommend a series of six to eight treatments for optimal results. A full series is typically completed within six months.
• Frequency:
• • Areas at or above the neckline: every 4 to 6 weeks.
  • Areas below the neckline: every 6 to 8 weeks.
  • Patients with darker skin types may need additional treatments for the best results.
• Results Timeline: Visible reduction can often be seen after just three treatments.

How Laser Hair Removal Works

The advanced Sciton BARE™ BBL laser uses focused energy that targets the hair follicle's bulb during the active growth phase. The laser energy heats and deactivates the hair follicle, which prevents future hair regrowth. Because hair grows in cycles, multiple treatments are required to effectively address all hair in various growth phases.

Comfort and Safety

• Does Laser Hair Removal Hurt? The sensation is typically described as a heated feeling resembling tiny pinpricks or rubber band snaps. Our advanced cooling technology keeps your skin at a comfortable temperature throughout the procedure, significantly enhancing your comfort.
• Is It Safe? Yes. When performed by experienced professionals using advanced technology like our Sciton BARE™ BBL laser, the treatment is safe and effective. We prioritize your safety and minimize the risk of complications during treatment.
• Side Effects: Common side effects are temporary and include a sunburn-like sensation, redness, inflammation, and swelling around the hair follicle post-treatment. These effects typically subside within hours, but some patients may have sensitivity and redness for up to a couple of days.

Is Laser Hair Removal Permanent?

Laser hair removal aims to provide long-lasting results. After a series of treatments, most individuals experience an 80-90% reduction in hair that doesn't regrow later in life. The longevity of results varies by skin type and commitment to the treatment plan.

Pricing & Preparation

• Cost: The cost of laser hair removal varies depending on the size of the treatment area and the number of sessions required. We provide cost estimates during your personalized treatment program development.
• Saving Money: Consider our Laser Hair Removal Package for a discount when purchasing a series of six sessions, which is a more economical approach.
• Financing: We accept various payment methods, including financing through CareCredit and Cherry for convenient payment options.

How to Prepare for Your Treatment

Preparation typically involves limiting sun exposure and refraining from using tanning products.

• Tanned patients may need to wait until their tan fades for more effective treatment.
• You can shave before treatment, but plucking and waxing should be avoided.
• Avoiding retinoid products is recommended before scheduled appointments for effective and comfortable treatment.
