What is laser hair removal?

Laser hair removal is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure designed to reduce unwanted hair using concentrated light energy. At Elevate Medical Aesthetics in Ardmore, PA, we offer professional laser treatments that provide long-lasting smoothness and freedom from daily shaving or waxing. The treatment works by targeting the pigment (melanin) in the hair follicle, effectively damaging it to prevent or slow future hair growth. It’s commonly used on the face, underarms, legs, bikini line, back, and more. Laser hair removal is ideal for individuals seeking a more permanent solution to unwanted hair, with fewer ingrown hairs and less irritation. Our licensed experts ensure a safe, clean, and results-driven experience from consultation through to your final session.

How does laser hair removal work?

Laser hair removal works by delivering pulses of concentrated light into the hair follicles. The pigment in the follicles absorbs this light, converting it into heat that damages the follicle and inhibits future hair growth. At Elevate Medical Aesthetics in Ardmore, PA, we use advanced medical-grade lasers suitable for various skin types and hair colors. The treatment is most effective on dark, coarse hair and requires multiple sessions for optimal results, as hair grows in cycles. Each session targets actively growing hairs. Over time, the treated areas show a noticeable reduction in hair thickness and density. Our technicians customize each treatment plan based on your goals, skin tone, and hair type to deliver the best possible outcome.

Is laser hair removal safe for all skin types?

Yes, laser hair removal is generally safe for all skin types when performed by trained professionals using the correct technology. At Elevate Medical Aesthetics in Ardmore, PA, we use FDA-cleared laser devices with adjustable settings that can be customized for different skin tones and hair textures. Safety and precision are our top priorities. Darker skin tones require special care due to increased melanin levels, and our experienced team uses wavelengths specifically designed to avoid pigment damage. Before beginning treatment, we provide a thorough skin assessment and test patch to ensure compatibility and effectiveness. Our protocols minimize risks such as burns, discoloration, or irritation, ensuring a safe, comfortable experience regardless of your complexion.

What to expect during the laser hair removal procedure?

During your laser hair removal procedure at Elevate Medical Aesthetics in Ardmore, PA, expect a quick and comfortable experience. The treated area is first cleaned, and a cooling gel may be applied to reduce discomfort. You’ll wear protective eyewear, and the technician will adjust the laser settings according to your skin tone and hair type. As the laser pulses across the area, you may feel a snapping sensation, similar to a rubber band on the skin. Treatments can last from 10 to 60 minutes depending on the area. Afterward, mild redness or swelling is normal and usually fades within a few hours. Our staff provides aftercare instructions and schedules your next session for optimal results.

What should I expect during a laser hair removal session?

At Elevate Medical Aesthetics in Ardmore, PA, your laser hair removal session will begin with a consultation or quick skin check to confirm your treatment area is ready. The area must be clean-shaven and free of lotions or products. You'll receive protective eyewear, and a cooling device or gel may be applied for comfort. As the laser moves over your skin, you might feel brief stings or heat—most clients find it very tolerable. Small areas like the upper lip take just minutes, while larger areas like legs or back may take up to an hour. There’s no downtime, and aftercare is simple—avoid heat, sun exposure, and irritating skincare for 24-48 hours.

What are the side effects of laser hair removal?

Laser hair removal is a safe procedure, but like any cosmetic treatment, it can have mild side effects. At Elevate Medical Aesthetics in Ardmore, PA, our trained professionals take every precaution to minimize risk. The most common side effects include temporary redness, slight swelling, and sensitivity in the treated area—similar to a mild sunburn. These typically subside within a few hours. Rarely, clients may experience pigmentation changes, blistering, or scabbing, usually due to improper aftercare or unqualified providers. We perform a patch test before your first session and provide thorough instructions to ensure a safe, smooth recovery. Following our expert guidance helps you achieve the best results with minimal discomfort or complications.
