Drop the Razor…Think Laser!

Are you seriously still shaving?

With summer's sun slowly fading, now is the perfect time to consider one of our most sought-after treatments: Laser Hair Removal.

 
 

 As the vibrant colors of fall begin to emerge this October, it's time to reflect on how your skin is adapting to the change in seasons. You’ve been diligent with your regular facials, skin treatments and professional skincare routines at S. Thetics Medspa & Wellbeing, but what about preparing the rest of your body for the cooler months ahead? Let’s talk Laser Hair Removal!

 

While body hair is entirely natural, many people opt for hair removal for a variety of reasons—whether for aesthetic preferences, comfort, or to reduce irritation and eliminate painful ingrown hairs.

 
Is Laser Hair Removal Right for You? 
At S. Thetics, we understand that you may have questions about whether laser hair removal is the right choice for you. The truth is, there are numerous benefits that come with making the switch from traditional shaving or waxing to laser treatments. Unlike shaving—which merely trims hair at the surface—laser hair removal targets the hair follicle itself, inhibiting future growth. This means that you can enjoy long-lasting smoothness and say goodbye to the hassle of frequent shaving or painful waxing sessions. 

 
 

Why Choose Laser Hair Removal? Laser Hair Removal is favored because it provides a longer-lasting solution to unwanted hair. After a series of treatments, which typically range from 4 to 8 sessions based on your specific hair and skin type, you’ll notice that hair is significantly reduced or eliminated altogether. Imagine stepping into fall without the worry of unwanted hair—no more irritation or unwanted stubble! 

Preparing for Your Treatment:

As you prepare for your laser hair removal sessions this fall, please note that we recommend avoiding sun exposure, tanning beds or self-tanning products for two weeks prior to each treatment. This ensures optimal results and minimizes any risk of adverse reactions.

On average, the hair will start to grow back within a couple of weeks. Laser hair removal is favored over these methods because it is a much longer-lasting solution to unwanted hair. Laser Hair Removal targets the hair follicle, inhibiting future hair growth, so the hair does not come back once the initial series of treatments have been completed. Subsequent single maintenance treatments are later required to keep the hair from returning.


Another common question that comes along with laser hair removal is, “How safe is it?”

Safety Comes First Your safety is our top priority at S. Thetics. Our laser hair removal device is FDA-approved, it is both safe and highly effective. The laser hair removal process is quick and straightforward. The laser delivers heat and light directly to the hair follicle, destroying its growth center. Some patients start to see results after just one treatment, but most notice slower growth and thinning hair after every treatment, the results of each treatment are cumulative.  And with laser hair removal at S. Thetics, there is no downtime after each treatment.  Although rare, some report a little redness or irritation that goes away within an hour or two—allowing you to get back to your daily routine seamlessly.


 
 

Laser Hair Removal treatments are relatively quick, depending on the area being treated, and you will typically start seeing results after just one treatment and keep seeing more of a reduction of hair after each treatment of your initial series.

For optimal results, we recommend 4-8 treatment sessions, which will be determined by your Laser Hair Removal specialist depending on your hair and skin type and the area being treated. There is no downtime with laser hair removal, and you can shave any unwanted hair that can grow between treatments. Once your treatments are complete, you can ditch the razors and enjoy your smooth, hairless skin! 

After optimal results are achieved from your initial series, maintenance is required to sustain the results of your series.  This will be discussed with you & determined by your provider but maintenance typically ranges from 2 - 4 single treatments per year.

Something to know…

With our most advanced laser, we do require that you have not had any sun exposure or used any self tanning products for 2 weeks prior to each treatment. This will impede your treatment results and could possibly cause an adverse reaction.


Another great thing about Laser Hair Removal is that it can be performed on anyone and everyone! It is a great way to remove unwanted hair on both men and women on just about any area of the body, aside from the sensitive area of skin around the eyes.

Some of the most common areas that we treat at S. Thetics Medspa and Wellbeing are legs, arms, underarms, bikini area, Brazilian, face, back, and chest. However, other areas can be treated as well. If you deal with unwanted hair on another area of your body, you can consult with one of our team members to see if you are a candidate for laser hair removal.
