What Is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal at The Modern Medical Spa is a safe, effective, and long-lasting solution for eliminating unwanted hair. Using the advanced Motus AY laser, this non-invasive treatment targets hair follicles without damaging the surrounding skin, making it suitable for all skin types and ethnicities. The procedure is virtually pain-free, offering a comfortable and convenient alternative to shaving, waxing, or other temporary hair removal methods. Whether you’re looking to treat the face, legs, arms, underarms, or bikini area, laser hair removal can help you achieve smooth, hair-free skin.

During your initial consultation, our experienced team will carefully assess the treatment area and perform a test spot to ensure optimal results. Most patients achieve the best outcomes with a series of six treatments, spaced 4–8 weeks apart, depending on hair growth cycles, skin type, and the targeted area. While laser hair removal is highly effective, it does not treat peach fuzz or gray hairs. With proper care and maintenance, you can enjoy long-lasting smoothness and confidence year-round.

Laser Hair Removal FAQs

Laser hair removal works by delivering highly concentrated light energy into the hair follicles. The pigment in the hair follicles absorbs the light, which generates heat and damages the follicles, preventing future hair growth.

Laser hair removal is considered a long-term hair reduction method, but it may not result in permanent hair removal. Some hair may eventually grow back, but it is typically finer and lighter in color. Maintenance sessions may be needed to keep the area hair-free.

Laser hair removal can be performed on nearly any area of the body, including the face, legs, underarms, bikini area, chest, back, and more.

The number of laser hair removal sessions required varies depending on factors such as hair color, hair thickness, skin type, and the treatment area. Most individuals need a series of 6 sessions, typically spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, to achieve desired results.

The duration of a laser hair removal session depends on the size of the treatment area. Small areas like the upper lip may take only a few minutes, while larger areas like the legs or back can take up to an hour or more.

Laser hair removal is generally considered safe when performed by a trained and experienced healthcare provider using FDA-approved equipment. It's essential to follow pre- and post-treatment care instructions to minimize the risk of complications.

Advancements in laser technology have made it possible to treat a wider range of skin tones and hair colors - Motus AY laser hair treatments are safe on all skin types/tones as long as the hair follicle has pigmentation. Motus AY works to target the melanin within the hair follicle, meaning the darker the hair shaft is, the better the result will be.

Laser hair removal can be performed on various skin types, but the effectiveness may vary. It's crucial to consult with a qualified practitioner who can assess your skin type and recommend the most suitable laser system for your needs.
