Laser Hair Removal in Pittsburgh

Laser hair removal is, without a doubt, the most effective way to get rid of unwanted hair anywhere on the body. It’s quick, simple, and will save you so much time by no longer needing to shave. Acqua Blu Medical Spa provides laser hair removal in Pittsburgh for both men and women, and we will be happy to design a program that will have you free of unwanted hair in no time.

Laser hair removal works simply and painlessly to reduce hair growth. The laser will beam away unwanted hair by directing concentrated light onto the hair follicle, destroying the hair’s ability to grow and leaving skin smooth and permanently hair-free. Our professionally trained and experienced medical professionals use two different devices to provide the most effective results in laser hair removal.

With Sciton Broad Band Light technology and the Emvera Diolux laser, we will make laser hair removal a reality for you. Designed with sensitive skin in mind, these devices are safe enough to be used on any part of the body and with any skin type. They also feature a unique, dynamic cooling device that helps to soothe and protect the skin so you can be guaranteed a safe and comfortable treatment.

How Laser Hair Removal Works

Acqua Blu Medical Spa’s Pittsburgh laser hair removal treatments use either the Broad Band Light or the Emvera Diolux laser to permanently remove unwanted hair follicles, while also eliminating discomfort during treatment. These lasers focus heat energy onto the capillaries that feed unwanted hair follicles, cauterizing the blood vessel and permanently shutting down hair follicles.

What Happens During a Laser Hair Removal Treatment?

During your laser hair removal treatment, we will target the laser device on the specific area you want treated. The laser will deliver the same amount of heat energy to the follicle as other lasers, but it does so with less intensity over a longer period of time. You will experience a brief “snapping” sensation with little to no pain.

The laser hair removal process is very quick and precise, targeting only the area that you want to be free of hair. For example, treatment of a male’s back will usually take 20-30 minutes, while treatment for the upper lip will be done in less than five minutes.

What are the fees for laser hair removal?

As each client will have a different amount of hair to remove and will require a different amount of surface area to be treated, costs will vary. We will give you a personalized quote when you come into our Pittsburgh offices for your consultation. Below is an overview of costs.

Laser Hair Removal Results

Our Pittsburgh laser hair removal is a permanent procedure. Once you undergo the laser treatment, the hair in that area will not grow back. However, it’s good to note that some factors do impact the effectiveness, and should be kept in mind:

Skin Color

Effectiveness of the laser hair removal procedure depends on the absorption of light and heat by the melanin in the hair follicle, rather than the melanin in the skin. That being said, dark hairs in light-skinned people are the easiest to remove because the melanin in darker skin absorbs some of the light before it gets to the hair follicle. Additionally, blond, gray, and white hairs don’t absorb much heat.

Number of Sessions

Since hair growth is cyclical—meaning only about a third of your hairs are actively growing at any time—and light-based hair removal only works when the hair is actively growing, you will need multiple treatments. About four to six treatments spaced four weeks apart will completely eliminate all unwanted hair. Our team will help you ascertain your particular hair-growth cycle and the number or duration of appointments necessary to achieve your hair-removal goals.
