Laser Hair Removal: Say Goodbye to Unwanted Hair

Are you tired of temporary solutions? Painful hair removal methods like plucking, waxing and even shaving often leave painful razor burns and embarrassing missed hairs! If so, it is time to consider laser hair removal. Here at Aesthetic Skin & Laser Center, we offer the most advanced and effective laser hair removal treatments in Pittsburgh, PA. Our hair removal treatment provides a long-term solution to unwanted hair for all skin tones and hair types.

What is Laser Hair Removal?

At Aesthetic Skin & Laser Center, we utilize the state-of-the-art Lutronic Clarity II device, known for its superior hair removal capabilities. This advanced technology combines Nd:YAG and Alexandrite lasers, delivering targeted wavelengths (1064 nm and 755 nm) to destroy hair follicles at the root, resulting in long-lasting hair reduction.

This treatment is highly effective for reducing hair on areas like the legs, arms, underarms, back, chest, and face. The laser’s energy is absorbed by the pigment in the hair, which heats up and damages the follicle, inhibiting its ability to grow new hair. Laser hair removal is suitable for most skin types and hair colors, though it works best on darker hair. With multiple sessions, you can achieve long-lasting results and reduce the need for traditional hair removal methods.

How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?

The Clarity II device emits precise laser energy, destroying hair follicles at the root of the hair and inhibiting future hair growth. With each additional treatment, you’ll notice continued hair reduction, resulting in smooth and hair-free skin. Each pulse of the laser treats multiple hairs at once, making it an efficient option for larger areas like the legs or back. The treatment is relatively painless, with most patients describing the sensation as similar to a light snap or rubber band on the skin. Depending on the area being treated, sessions typically last between 15-60 minutes. Multiple sessions are required for optimal results because hair grows in cycles, and the laser can only target active follicles.

We understand that each individual is unique, and our laser hair removal treatments are tailored to meet your specific needs. Our experienced team will assess your skin and hair traits to create a personalized treatment plan optimized for your desired results. Whether you have light or dark skin or hair, we ensure the treatment is safe and effective for your skin type.

Superior Device Comparison: Lutronic Clarity II vs. Candela Gentle Max Pro

When compared to the Candela Gentle Max Pro, the Lutronic Clarity II stands out as the best-in-class hair removal device. With its wider range of pulse durations, larger effective spot sizes, adjustable skin cooling, IntelliTrak technology, and a broader range of applications, the Clarity II offers superior performance, comfort, and safety.
