Unwanted Body Hair
Shaving, waxing and threading are effective in the short term, but they are also time consuming, repetitive and often irritating to the skin. Laser hair removal offers a long term alternative that progressively reduces hair growth over a course of treatments, leaving you with significantly less to manage and more time back in your day.
At Bella Sante MD, every treatment is tailored to your skin tone and hair type for safe and consistent results.
FAQs on Unwanted Body Hair
Shaving and waxing remove hair at the surface or root but leave the follicle intact, which means the hair grows back on the same cycle. Laser hair removal works differently by targeting the follicle itself, progressively reducing its ability to produce new hair over a course of treatments.
Most patients require 6 to 8 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart to achieve significant hair reduction. This is because laser hair removal is only effective on hair in the active growth phase, and not all follicles are in this phase at the same time.
Modern laser systems treat a broader range of skin tones than older technology, though suitability still depends on the specific combination of skin tone and hair colour. We assess this at your consultation and will tell you honestly whether laser hair removal is the right option for you.
Most patients achieve significant and lasting reduction after a full course of treatments, with occasional maintenance sessions recommended to address any regrowth over time.For most patients, it dramatically reduces the time and effort spent managing unwanted hair.
