Laser Hair Removal
Pittsburg

The Motus laser device emits a beam of light that is absorbed by the pigment in the hair shaft. This absorption raises the temperature of the hair follicle and destroys it. The laser only targets actively growing hairs, so multiple treatments may be necessary to achieve desired results.

During your laser hair removal in Pittsburg, our cosmetic providers will carefully examine your treatment areas, discuss your goals, and curate the ideal treatment plan. The Motus laser device is adjusted according to your specific skin type to ensure optimal results without harsh side effects.

The laser hair removal procedure is relatively simple and quick. First, the area to be treated will be cleansed, and a cooling gel will be applied. Next, the laser device will be passed over the treatment area. The entire process usually takes less than an hour. Most people experience little to no discomfort during laser hair removal. However, some people may feel a mild stinging sensation.

The side effects of laser hair removal are typically mild and temporary. You might experience mild post-treatment redness, swelling, tenderness, and bruising. These side effects typically resolve within a few days.

After your laser hair removal treatment, it’s important to avoid sun exposure and use sunscreen when outdoors. But there’s no downtime, so you can resume your daily activities immediately.

Your hair will grow out sparser and thinner after each session. But this procedure can only target actively-growing hair follicles, so you’ll need multiple sessions. Most patients need 6 to 9 sessions for almost complete hair removal in the targeted area.

Laser hair removal is almost permanent. Once the unwanted hair follicles are destroyed, they can’t grow new hairs. But you may still notice mild hair growth in the targeted area occasionally. You may need one or two maintenance sessions a year to maintain completely hair-free skin.
