Hair can grow in all the wrong places – whether you’re born with hairy arms and legs or you’re going through hormonal changes that cause hairs to grow where they shouldn’t. If you’re tired of spending most of your days shaving, plucking, or waxing unwanted hair, then you might want to consider laser hair removal treatments at Ethos Spa.
Hair removal using laser therapy involves delivering controlled laser light energy to each hair follicle in the treated area, causing it to get damaged and fall out. This treatment is one of the most commonly performed non-surgical cosmetic treatments today with millions of Americans relying on lasers to keep their legs, upper lips, arms, chests, and backs smooth and hairless.

Laser hair removal is an effective way to get rid of the pesky, unwanted hair that grows in different parts of your face and body. It works by sending a specific wavelength of a laser beam to the treatment area. This targets the melanin that gives the skin its dark color, resulting in thermal injury that destroys the hair follicle or delays the growth of the hair shaft.
Since the treatment only targets the pigment of the dark hair, laser hair removal won’t affect the surrounding skin of the treatment area. This also makes the treatment more effective for patients with dark hair and light skin. Patients with dark skin tone or light hair color may still try this treatment, but it’s best to consult with a doctor first to find out if they have the appropriate laser devices for your skin type or hair type.
Although laser hair removal treatments are safer and more convenient than shaving and waxing to get rid of unwanted body hair, it may not be the best nonsurgical procedure for everyone. Laser hair removal treatments work best for patients who:

Getting laser hair removal is a quick and easy procedure that only takes less than an hour to complete. Here’s what you can expect during your laser hair removal appointment at Ethos Spa:
Like most treatments at Ethos Spa, our laser hair removal treatments also start with a consultation. During this time, we examine your skin and check your medical history to find out if you’re qualified for the treatment. Once you’re good to go, we schedule your treatment session and provide you with a list of instructions to prepare for it.
We usually ask our patients to stay out of the sun, avoid other hair removal treatments, and avoid blood-thinning medications for weeks before their appointment. It’s also important to trim some of the hair in the treatment area to make the procedure smoother. Don’t hesitate to ask us anything you need to know about laser hair removal.
Before the treatment session, we apply a numbing cream to the treatment area to protect your skin and minimize discomfort during the treatment. The laser device is then activated to pass through your skin, heat the hair bulb, and inhibit hair growth in the area.
The entire treatment session usually takes less than an hour, but it may be longer for a patient who wants to treat larger areas. There might be some redness and swelling, but they usually subside after a few hours or days. Call us immediately if these symptoms persist or worsen.
Your skin becomes sensitive after a laser hair removal treatment, so it’s important to pay extra attention when taking care of it. This ensures that you’re getting the best results while ensuring that no complications or side effects might occur.

There might be some pain or discomfort during the treatment, but it’s definitely less painful than waxing treatments. Most of our patients described the sensation as something similar to the flick of a rubber band against the skin. You can always ask our doctors about using topical anesthetic during your laser hair removal consultation.
No, a laser can’t cause more hair to grow in the treated areas. However, patients need to remember that our body goes through a lot of changes as we age – this includes new hair growth in places where there wasn’t before. The laser destroys hair follicles, but new ones might still develop in your body.
The risk of scarring is slim with laser hair removal, as long as you have an experienced technician like our providers at Ethos Spa. We have already performed this kind of treatment for hundreds of patients before, so you can trust us to proceed with extra care and caution.

A: Although it takes a long time for some of the treated hair follicles to grow hair, this procedure doesn’t guarantee permanent hair removal. Instead, the hair shafts only grow lighter and finer so they’re easier to remove on your next treatment.
A: This depends on the type of hair you have and the size of the treatment area. Removing facial hair takes fewer treatment sessions than eliminating hairs in the back or chest. Most patients need about 4 to 6 treatments, but you still need to consult with an expert to know how many sessions are required for you.
A: Although laser therapy has lots of different applications, the laser devices used for these treatments are quite different. The patient needs to consult a dermatologist first to find out which type of laser therapy is the best for them.
A: Technically, intense pulsed light (IPL) treatments aren’t a type of laser treatment. Some providers might offer IPL for hair removal, but laser treatments are far more precise and effective.
At Ethos Spa, we want our patients to regain their confidence in their own bodies. We understand how hair in the legs, armpits and other places can hinder you from flaunting them, so we offer laser hair removal treatments to eliminate unwanted body hair. Our team uses advanced YAG laser devices that work well even for patients with darker skin tones.
