Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is a medical treatment that uses concentrated light energy to target and damage hair follicles, reducing hair growth over time. At PI Aesthetics, treatments are performed by trained medical providers using advanced laser technology to deliver safe and effective results.

Laser hair removal can be performed on most areas of the body, including the face, underarms, legs, bikini area, back, chest, and more. Your doctor will assess the treatment area during your consultation and create a plan tailored to your goals.

Laser hair removal is highly effective (85-90% hair reduction), but the outcome depends significantly on two factors: the quality of the device used and the expertise of the provider operating it. In our experience, more than half of the results depend on the provider's ability to select the right settings for your specific combination of skin tone, hair type, and hair thickness. This requires meaningful clinical experience and a thorough assessment before each session. The remaining outcome depends on the quality of the laser machine itself. At PI Aesthetics, we use advanced laser technology, and our treatments are performed by trained medical providers who take the time to personalize your settings on every visit. This is typically what separates a treatment that delivers lasting results from one that falls short of expectations.

This is an important and common question. Traditionally, laser hair removal worked best on patients with lighter skin tones and darker hair, as the laser targets the pigment in the hair follicle. Treating darker skin tones with certain lasers carries a higher risk of pigment changes or burns. However, advances in laser technology have expanded the range of skin tones that can be safely and effectively treated. At PI Aesthetics, we will assess your skin type and hair color during your consultation and recommend the most appropriate treatment approach for you.

Most patients require between 6 and 8 sessions to achieve significant hair reduction, though some cases may require more. This is because laser energy is only effective on hair follicles in the active growth phase, which is why multiple sessions spaced over time are necessary. Sessions are typically spaced 4 to 12 weeks apart, depending on the area being treated, and maintenance sessions may be needed over time. Your doctor will give you a realistic estimate during your consultation based on your specific hair and skin type.

Cost depends on the area being treated (small, medium or large) and the number of sessions required. It is worth noting that treatment quality directly affects the total cost over time. A high-quality machine operated by a provider who understands how to select the right settings will maximize results and can reduce the number of sessions needed overall.

Like all medical treatments, laser hair removal carries known risks. We address these thoroughly during your consultation so you can make a fully informed decision. Our team is specifically trained to manage possible complications, and we approach every treatment with a high degree of clinical care and thoughtfulness.

In the weeks before your treatment, we recommend avoiding sun exposure, tanning, and hair removal methods that remove the root such as waxing, plucking or threading. Shaving is fine and is actually required before your sessions. Certain medications and skincare products may also need to be paused. Your doctor will provide you with specific preparation instructions during your consultation.

Most patients experience mild redness and sensitivity in the treated area for a short period after treatment, which typically resolves within a few hours. Downtime is not expected.

You will notice a reduction in hair growth after each session, with results becoming more significant as your treatment series progresses. Because hair grows in cycles, multiple sessions are needed to treat all follicles effectively. After each session there is a typical cycle to expect: for the first one to two weeks hair may appear to grow normally, then it begins to shed. This is followed by a period of little to no hair growth, after which some hair will start to return, though noticeably less than before. That point of regrowth is the ideal time for your next session.
