Face and Body Laser Hair Removal in Cincinnati, OH

Are you tired of the constant cycle of shaving, waxing, or plucking hair only to have it return days later? Not only is this routine time-consuming, but it can also lead to skin irritation, ingrown hairs, and even scarring. Fortunately, laser hair removal offers a long-term solution by targeting hair at the root, effectively reducing regrowth without the abrasive effects of traditional methods.

At Choosi Skin Face and Laser Spa in Cincinnati, OH, laser hair removal treatments are led by Dr. Tiffany Hall, who is a board-certified OB/GYN with more than 15 years of experience in cosmetic treatments. This treatment removes unwanted hair from the face and body for smoother skin and long-lasting results.

What Is Facial and Body Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is a cosmetic treatment that uses concentrated beams of light to target and destroy hair follicles and reduce hair growth on the treated area. This method allows for the treatment of small areas like the upper lip, chin, or sideburns, or larger areas like the back and chest. It is popular among those looking to reduce or eliminate the need for regular shaving or waxing. The laser selectively targets melanin in the hair follicles, leaving the surrounding skin undamaged.

How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?

Laser devices emit a concentrated beam of light that is absorbed by pigment in actively growing hair. The light energy converts to heat, which disrupts the follicle’s ability to grow new strands. Because hair grows in cycles, multiple sessions are needed to catch more follicles in their active phase. Professional laser hair removal systems are calibrated to deliver consistent energy levels based on the patient’s skin tone and hair characteristics.

What Are the Benefits of Laser Hair Removal?

Precision

Laser facial hair removal targets hairs right down to the follicle, offering a high-precision treatment that avoids damaging the surrounding skin. This accuracy is particularly beneficial for delicate facial areas.

Speed

Each laser pulse takes a fraction of a second and can treat several hairs at once. This speed provides treatment in small areas like the upper lip in under a minute.

Reduced Hair Growth Over Time

Each session progressively reduces hair growth, leading to less frequent maintenance. After several sessions, most people achieve permanent hair reduction.

Convenience

The treatment eliminates the need for daily shaving and decreases the frequency of waxing appointments. This convenience saves time and simplifies personal grooming routines.

Fewer Ingrown Hairs

Unlike waxing or threading, laser hair removal drastically reduces the occurrence of ingrown hairs. It’s ideal for those prone to ingrown hairs and skin irritation.

Tailored Treatments

Lasers can be adjusted according to an individual’s specific skin type and hair color. This customization ensures effective, safe, and tailored treatment outcomes for each person.

What Areas Can Be Treated With Laser Hair Removal?

Face

Whether it’s the chin, upper lip, or jawline, facial laser treatments can help simplify your routine and reduce the appearance of coarse or dark strands.

Armpits

Laser energy targets follicles in the armpits directly for smoother underarms with less visible growth.

Back

Laser sessions can address larger zones in fewer passes and cut down on frequent hair removal appointments.

Chest

Some choose to thin the hair on their chest, while others prefer complete removal. The treatment allows for either approach, depending on your preferences.

Legs

Treatments can be done on full legs or focused areas like the lower legs or thighs. Hair becomes finer and less noticeable between sessions.

Bikini Line

Bikini laser hair removal can be customized to suit your coverage goals, whether you’re interested in a clean edge or a more extensive reduction in the area.

Candela GentleMax Pro for Laser Hair Removal

The Candela GentleMax Pro employs a dual-wavelength laser platform that merges a 755 nm alexandrite laser with a 1064 nm Nd laser. It is suitable for treating all skin types, from very light to dark. It includes Dynamic Cooling Device (DCD) technology that cools the skin before delivering laser pulses, enhancing patient comfort and protecting the skin.

The device is known for its speed, which is facilitated by its ability to deliver fast pulses and accommodate large spot sizes, significantly reducing treatment session duration. This system provides long-lasting hair reduction across diverse skin and hair profiles.

What to Expect With Laser Hair Removal

Preparation

Before each face and body laser hair removal treatment, it is important to avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and topical irritants like retinoids or acids on the treatment area. Shaving is recommended 24 hours prior so the laser can effectively reach the follicle without singeing the surface hair. Avoid waxing or plucking, since these remove the root that the laser targets. Keep the skin clean and free of makeup on the day of the session.

During Treatment

During your laser hair removal service, you will wear protective eyewear while the laser device is used on the area. You may notice a warm or snapping sensation as the laser pulses target the follicles. Treatments for small facial areas, like the upper lip or chin, take just a few minutes, while larger body zones will require more time.

After Treatment

After a laser hair removal session, it’s common to experience some redness and swelling in the treated area, similar to mild sunburn. These symptoms usually subside within a few hours to a couple of days. Protecting the skin after your session is important, especially in the first 24 hours. Avoid hot showers, exercise, direct sun exposure, or anything that increases heat or friction in the treated area. Use gentle skincare and skip exfoliating products until any redness or sensitivity fades.

Laser hair removal results become more noticeable as the treated hair sheds and future growth slows between sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Long Does a Laser Facial and Body Hair Removal Session Take

The duration of a laser hair removal session depends on the area being treated. Small areas of the face, such as the upper lip or chin, can be treated very quickly, typically taking just a few minutes. Larger facial areas, like the cheeks or full beard area, might require up to 20 minutes. If you are treating a large area like the back or legs, expect to be in our office for 30 minutes to an hour or more.

Is Laser Facial and Body Hair Removal Painful?

The discomfort experienced during laser facial and body hair removal varies from person to person, but most describe it as a slight snapping sensation against the skin. Our modern laser system has a cooling mechanism to minimize discomfort, making the treatment more bearable. For those particularly sensitive to pain, topical numbing creams can be applied beforehand to help reduce discomfort.

Who Are Ideal Candidates for Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal works best on individuals with a noticeable contrast between hair color and skin tone, such as darker hair against lighter skin. Advances in technology have expanded options for more skin tones and hair types, but lighter blonde, red, or gray hairs are still harder to treat due to low pigment. Good candidates are those who are in good health, not pregnant, and do not have active infections or skin conditions in the treatment area. Those seeking to reduce unwanted facial or body hair should also be willing to commit to multiple sessions.

How Many Sessions Are Needed for Effective Results?

Typically, multiple sessions are necessary to achieve optimal results with laser hair removal. The exact number of sessions varies depending on the individual’s hair type, color, thickness, and the area treated. Generally, six to eight sessions about four to six weeks apart are recommended to catch all hair follicles in their different growth phases.

Are the Results of Laser Facial and Body Hair Removal Permanent?

Laser facial and body hair removal can significantly reduce hair growth, but it is not guaranteed to be completely permanent. Many individuals experience a substantial decrease in hair growth that can last several years, and some may require occasional maintenance treatments to manage regrowth. Factors like hormonal changes can influence hair regrowth over time.
