Laser Hair removal

Laser hair removal is a medical procedure that uses a laser device to remove unwanted hair from various parts of the body. At Nava Aesthetics, we use the Alma Soprano Platinum, which is a state-of-the-art laser machine that combines three different laser wavelengths (755nm, 810nm, and 1064nm) into a single device. Each wavelength targets a specific depth of the hair follicle, allowing for more effective treatment of a wide range of hair types, including finer and lighter hairs that are difficult to treat with traditional laser hair removal devices.

  • The Alexandrite (755nm wavelength) targets the melanin in the hair shaft and is effective for treating finer and lighter hairs. 
  • The 810nm wavelength is effective for medium to dark skin types and coarser hair. 
  •  The 1064nm wavelength (Nd:YAG) penetrates deeper into the skin and is effective for treating deeply rooted hair and darker skin tones.

The Alma Soprano Platinum features the patented IN-Motion™ technology, which gradually heats the skin and targets the hair follicles while keeping the surrounding tissue cool and comfortable. This technology helps to minimize discomfort and reduce the risk of skin damage during the hair removal process, and ensures that there are no missed spots in the area being treated. It also makes the procedure super fast – a full back or a full leg treatment takes only 15 minutes!

The procedure begins with the application of a cooling gel on the skin to protect it and reduce discomfort during the treatment. The laser handpiece is then passed over the skin, emitting short bursts of laser energy to target the hair follicles. The laser energy is delivered in pulses to ensure that only the hair follicles are damaged while the surrounding skin is left unharmed. There is no downtime after the treatment.

The number of treatment sessions required depends on the individual’s skin type, hair color, and the area being treated. Typically, multiple sessions are required to achieve the desired results. The treatment is most effective on dark, coarse hair and less effective on light, fine hair. The Alma Soprano Platinum is safe for all skin types, including tanned skin (so you can continue your treatments in the summer months).

FAQ's

Preparing for laser hair removal treatment involves several steps to ensure that the procedure is effective and safe. Here are some things you can do to prepare for your laser hair removal appointment:
  1. Avoid sun exposure: It is recommended to avoid sun exposure for at least two weeks before the treatment. Sunburned skin is sensitive and can cause complications during the laser hair removal process.

  2. Avoid waxing, plucking, and electrolysis: You should avoid any hair removal treatment that removes hair from the root, such as waxing, plucking, or electrolysis, for at least four weeks before the laser hair removal appointment. Laser hair removal targets the hair follicle, and these treatments remove the follicle, making laser hair removal ineffective.

  3. Shave the treatment area: On the day of your appointment, shave the treatment area. The laser targets the hair follicle, so it is essential to shave the area to ensure that the laser reaches the follicle.

On the day of the appointment, wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing to avoid irritating the treatment area. We will provide drapes and a robe as needed, depending on the treatment area.

Typically, 6 to 8 sessions are recommended (every 4-6 weeks), and additional “top up" sessions can be done every 6 to 12 months to address dormant hairs. The number of sessions will be different from person to person with a minimum of 6 treatments being required.
 
Laser hair removal only targets hair follicles in the anagen (actively growing) phase. These actively growing hairs that have been treated should not grow back. However, because some dormant hair follicles can start growing later, it is not unusual for patients to have an additional session once every 6 to 12 months, depending on the hair type.
