Say Goodbye to Unwanted Hair: What to Expect with Laser Hair Removal at Lume Aesthetics
Unwanted hair can be a persistent annoyance that requires constant upkeep through shaving, waxing, or plucking. If you’re tired of the endless maintenance and looking for a long-lasting solution, laser hair removal might be the perfect treatment for you. At Lume Aesthetics in Wisconsin, we offer advanced laser hair removal services that help you achieve smooth, hair-free skin with minimal discomfort and downtime.
What is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is a non-invasive procedure that uses concentrated beams of light to target hair follicles beneath the skin. The laser energy damages the follicles, inhibiting future hair growth and leading to a significant reduction in unwanted hair over time. This method is safe, effective, and suitable for many skin types.
How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
During the treatment, a specialized laser device emits pulses of light absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair. This energy converts to heat, which damages the hair follicle, disrupting its ability to produce new hair. Because hair grows in cycles, multiple sessions are necessary to target all hairs during their active growth phase.
What Areas Can Be Treated?
Laser hair removal can be used almost anywhere on the body, including:
- Legs
- Underarms
- Bikini line
- Upper lip and chin
- Back and chest
- Arms
Whether you want a completely smooth look or prefer to maintain a specific shape, our expert providers at Lume Aesthetics will customize the treatment to your preferences.
What to Expect During Your Treatment
Your first appointment will begin with a consultation where your provider assesses your skin type, hair color, and treatment goals. They will explain the procedure and create a personalized plan.
During the session, you’ll wear protective eyewear while the laser technician applies the laser device to the target areas. Most patients describe the sensation as a mild snapping or warm pinprick. Treatment time varies depending on the area, typically ranging from 15 minutes for small zones to over an hour for larger areas.
How Many Sessions Are Needed?
Because hair grows in cycles, it’s necessary to schedule multiple treatments—usually between 6 to 8 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart—to achieve optimal results. After completing your series, you can expect a permanent reduction of up to 80-90% of hair in the treated areas. Occasional maintenance sessions may be recommended to manage any new growth.
