How does laser hair removal work?

Laser hair removal involves directing a concentrated light into hair follicles, destroying the hair at its root. The heat renders the follicle unable to grow hair, leaving you with smooth skin. 

At Chi Aesthetics Medspa and Wellness Center, the team uses the innovative Soprano™ ICE laser, which offers precision and comfort for all skin types.

Why should I consider laser hair removal?

Laser hair removal provides longer-lasting results than traditional approaches like shaving or waxing. The precision of Soprano Ice’s laser technology minimizes damage to the surrounding skin, making it a safer and more effective choice.

Treatment sessions are quick, even for larger treatment areas like the legs. You can return to your normal activities right after your session, too.

What areas of the body can you treat with laser hair removal?

Laser hair removal is effective for nearly all areas of the body, including the face, underarms, legs, bikini line, and more. Consider it for anywhere you have unwanted hair. 

How many laser hair removal sessions will I need?

The number of sessions needed varies based on factors like hair color, skin type, and the targeted area. Laser hair removal using Soprano Ice is effective on all skin types.

Chi Aesthetics Medspa and Wellness Center providers usually recommend multiple sessions to catch hairs in different growth phases. Laser hair removal is most effective when hair is in a growth cycle and not all hairs are in this cycle simultaneously.

Does laser hair removal hurt?

Soprano ICE makes laser hair removal painless, but discomfort levels vary from person to person. The Soprano ICE laser is gentle and feels like a massage.

The Soprano ICE is effective on all skin types and sensitive and hard-to-reach areas, like the ears, bikini line, and nostrils.

Does laser hair removal require downtime?

You may experience mild redness or swelling right after your procedure. These side effects typically last just a few hours. You can resume your daily activities immediately after the procedure. 

Avoid direct sun exposure for a few weeks after laser hair removal sessions. The laser treatment makes your skin particularly sensitive to UV rays.
