If you're tired of constantly shaving, waxing, or plucking unwanted hair, it may be time to consider laser hair removal. This popular treatment can provide smooth, hair-free skin that lasts. 

At Victoria Roggio Beauty in Philadelphia, PA, we offer laser hair removal performed by experienced professionals using advanced technology. Read on to learn all about how laser hair removal works and the benefits it provides.

Achieve Lasting Smoothness With Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal targets the root cause of unwanted hair - the follicle itself. The laser emits a beam of highly concentrated light that passes through the skin and is absorbed by the melanin (pigment) in the hair. This damages the follicle so that it can no longer grow hair. The treatments are carefully delivered by a technician to only treat the unwanted hairs, leaving the surrounding skin undamaged.

With a series of treatments, laser hair removal provides lasting hair reduction in the treated areas. Most clients see a permanent reduction of 70% to 90% after a complete treatment regimen. The number of sessions needed varies based on your individual hair growth, but you can expect to need 4-8 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart for optimal results. Maintenance may be required periodically afterward to keep the area free of new hair growth.

The biggest benefit of laser hair removal is smooth skin that lasts for months or even years between treatments. You'll no longer have to deal with daily shaving or waxing. The hair that does grow back is finer and lighter in color. Laser hair removal is safe for all skin tones when performed by an experienced technician. We also provide other sought-after services like laser treatment for dark spots on face and dermaplaning in Philadelphia, PA, for glowing skin. 

Popular Treatment Areas

Laser hair removal can be performed almost anywhere on the body. The most popular treatment areas include:

Bikini Line and Brazilian

Enjoy a hair-free bikini area for beach season. Laser is safe and effective for delicate areas. No more irritation from shaving or waxing this sensitive zone. You can flaunt smooth, stubble-free skin in even the most revealing swimwear.

Underarms

Skip shaving your underarms and prevent irritation from ingrown hairs. Achieve silkier, smoother armpits without the hassle of daily upkeep. Laser hair removal eliminates coarse underarm hair and leaves skin soft.

Arms & Legs

Laser hair removal leaves your arms, hands, legs, and feet smooth and stubble-free. It's great for reducing thick, dark hair growth on the arms, thighs, lower legs, hands, and feet. Show off hairless limbs and sandal-ready feet.

Face

Remove unwanted facial hair on the upper lip, chin, and cheeks for a flawless look. Eliminate the need to tweeze, bleach, or wax facial hair on a regular basis. Laser can successfully treat fine facial hair that other methods miss.

Back & Shoulders

Laser can eliminate hard-to-reach back and shoulder hair. No more asking someone to shave your back or struggling with skin irritation from razors. Free your back and shoulders from unwanted hair for good.

Preparing for Your Laser Hair Removal Session

To get the best results, there are some tips for preparing for your laser session in Philadelphia, PA:

- Shave the area the day before treatment. This prepares the skin for optimal laser absorption while eliminating surface hair that can obstruct the laser's penetration.

- Avoid sun exposure on the area to be treated for at least one week before. Tanned skin is harder to treat effectively since the laser targets melanin in the hair follicle.

- Stop chemical hair removal methods like waxing and epilation for 4 to 6 weeks pre-treatment. These can alter the follicle and interfere with laser effectiveness.

- Avoid certain medications, if possible, that may increase sensitivity to lasers. Discuss your medical history and any medications with your technician beforehand.

- Come with clean skin that's free of lotions, deodorants, and perfumes near the area being treated. Products may absorb some of the laser's energy, impairing its hair removal capabilities.

The treatment itself only takes 15 to 45 minutes, depending on the size of the area being addressed. Most clients feel only a slight tingling sensation, like a rubber band snapping on the skin. We provide numbing cream for added comfort if desired. Following the treatment, the area may be red and swollen for up to 2 days as the skin recovers. Avoiding sun exposure, hot water, and friction can help minimize side effects.
