Laser hair reduction is one of the most popular treatments at Derma Luxe, and for good reason: it offers long-term reduction of unwanted hair without the routine of waxing, threading or shaving.
How it works
The laser targets the pigment in the hair follicle and gently heats it, which reduces its ability to grow new hair. Our Alma Soprano Ice Platinum combines three wavelengths (755, 810 and 1064 nm) in one applicator, so treatment can be adjusted for different skin tones and hair types. Its gradual heating technique and built-in cooling are designed to keep sessions comfortable.
Why you need several sessions
Hair grows in cycles, and the laser works best on hairs in the active growth phase. That is why treatment is done as a course of sessions, usually spaced several weeks apart. This is also why our full body packages come as 6 or 8 sessions.
Before your session
- Shave the area a day before, but avoid waxing, threading or plucking for a few weeks.
- Avoid tanning and strong sun exposure on the area.
- Tell your dermatologist about any medicines, skin conditions or recent treatments.
After your session
- Mild redness is common and usually settles within hours.
- Use sunscreen on treated areas and avoid hot baths or saunas for a day or two.
- Treated hairs may take a couple of weeks to shed. This is normal.
Results vary from person to person, and occasional maintenance sessions may be needed. Your dermatologist will set expectations at your consultation. See our laser package prices.
