Laser hair removal is a cosmetic procedure that uses pulsed laser energy to remove unwanted hair from a targeted area, while leaving surrounding skin unharmed. Common areas on which laser hair removal is performed are the chin, upper lip, chest, underarms, back, bikini line and legs.
Although there are many temporary treatments, including tweezing, shaving, using depilatory creams and waxing, to remove unwanted hair, patients seeking more permanent and less irritating/painful methods are frequently good candidates for laser hair removal. Through what is a safe and usually painless procedure, hair can be removed from nearly any area of the body (the eye area is an exception because of the possibility of serious eye damage).
Benefits of Laser Hair Removal
Fast Procedure
Laser hair removal is a quick process. Each laser pulse lasts just a moment and can target several hairs at once. The laser can treat an area as large as a quarter in just one second. Smaller regions, like the upper lip, may be completed in under a minute, whereas bigger areas, such as the back or legs, might require up to an hour.
Laser Precision
Laser hair removal provides exceptional accuracy, focusing specifically on dark, coarse hairs without harming adjacent skin. It works by aiming at the melanin in the hair follicle, hindering future hair growth.
Long-Lasting Results
Laser hair removal provides long-lasting hair reduction, typically after three to seven sessions. Regrown hair is usually lighter and finer. Annual maintenance sessions can extend these results.
What Clients Love About Absolute Aesthetics
I have referred my patients for Laser with Shannon for years now. She is an expert in the field, and she has the highest quality lasers that are calibrated regularly. This gives the best, fastest, and safest results for laser hair removal and skin resurfacing. Not only is she a leader in her field, but her office staff is always professional, courteous, helpful, and a pleasure to work with. Ashley helped me set up one of my patients for treatments yesterday and is truly knowledgeable and made scheduling a breeze. I highly recommend Absolute Aesthetics for all of your laser needs.

Amy is amazing! She did my underarm laser and it was completely pain free and she was able to explain the steps prior and after treatment. The office is super clean and overall gorgeous. My mom also did laser in her hands to remove sun spots and after 3 sessions they're all gone!! I'm scheduling the laser for my legs next.

I have been here for IPL , Botox and consultation.
Professionals, great service, awesome people. Shannon and Amy are a fabulous team. Amy gave me genuinely honest information on a procedure others had encouraged me to do. Incredibly thankful for her candor and honesty.
I have scarring on my upper lip from a fall, had surgery but was hoping to use a touch of filler to even out scar. She explained why I don't want to use fillers in my situation. She was my third consultation, and what she told me made sense. I felt the other places I spoke with were not as knowledgeable as she was with regard to risks in using filler in an area with scarring. Every situation is different , of course, but very happy I chose Absolute Aesthetics and highly recommend them!

Frequently Asked Questions
Because the laser beams used to remove hair target its melanin (pigment), the best candidates have dark hair and light skin. Conversely, those with blond, red, gray or white hair and dark skin are usually not good candidates. Recent technological advances have made laser hair removal for those with dark skin more successful, while techniques for using lasers to effectively remove light-colored hair are being investigated.
Laser hair removal is performed while the target area is numbed by a topical anesthetic. A handheld device that emits intense laser pulses is moved across the area, focusing on individual hair follicles. There are several different methods of laser hair removal, some of which combine laser impulses with radiofrequency. The appropriate method for each patient is decided in consultation with the physician administering treatment.
Hair growth takes place cyclically, in three stages. The most effective laser hair removal takes place during the andogen (full-growth) stage, because the hair follicles in this stage are susceptible to laser energy. But, because all hair is not in the same stage of growth at any given time, several laser treatments, usually between three and five, spaced 4 to 8 weeks apart, are necessary. To some extent, the length of treatment depends on the texture of the patient's hair, and the location from which it is being removed.
Some redness, soreness or swelling may occur immediately after laser hair removal, but they almost always disappear within a few days. Cold compresses or ice packs, moisturizers, and anti-inflammatory creams may minimize discomfort. Sun exposure should be avoided as much as possible for some period of time.
The most common complication of laser hair removal is the regrowth of the unwanted hair. Frequently, however, the hair that regrows is finer and lighter than the hair that was removed. Usually, regrowth can be addressed with a few additional treatment sessions. Other complications that may arise after laser hair treatment include skin irritation such as blistering and crusting; changes in pigmentation or texture of the skin; and scarring at the removal site.
While generally painless, some may feel minor discomfort akin to a rubber band snap, which can be alleviated with numbing cream applied before the procedure and the use of cooling devices during it.
