Do you want to say goodbye to shaving, plucking, and waxing? Laser hair removal at Pine & River Aesthetics is a safe and effective procedure that lets you throw your razor away for good.
Laser hair removal is a safe, effective process of permanently reducing or eliminating unwanted hair on almost any part of the body except near the eyes.
Laser hair removal is a popular alternative to waxing and shaving. This is mainly because it often provides permanent results and is less expensive than maintaining a waxing and shaving routine for a lifetime.
Additionally, there’s no recovery time needed after treatment, so no more doing the waxing-waddle or battling razor burn. Instead, you’ll be left with silky smooth skin that you will love all seasons of the year.
Enjoy smoother skin all over, thanks to your complimentary VISIA scan when you book a consultation with Pine & River Aesthetics. VISIA is a digital imaging scan that helps us develop the perfect treatment plan for your skin and its areas of need.
Laser hair removal is a safe and effective way to permanently reduce or eliminate unwanted hair on almost any part of the body, except near the eyes. It’s a popular alternative to waxing and shaving because it often provides permanent results and is more cost-effective in the long run. Plus, there’s no recovery time needed, so you can avoid the discomfort of waxing or razor burn. You’ll be left with silky smooth skin that you’ll love all year round. Depending on the treatment area, the procedure can take 15-60 minutes. You may experience mild swelling around hair follicles and slight redness of the skin. We recommend multiple treatments because laser hair removal targets the active phase of the hair growth cycle. When hair is in the resting phase (telogen phase), it can’t correctly absorb light or generate enough heat to damage the growth center. For maximum results, we recommend 4 to 6 treatments every 6 to 8 weeks. We can work with nearly all skin types.
Intense Pulse Light (IPL) uses a broad spectrum of light wavelengths to target and treat multiple skin conditions simultaneously. This treatment is highly effective for addressing pigment issues like brown spots from acne and sun damage, blotchy red spots from broken capillaries, and rosacea. It also improves skin texture by targeting wrinkles and enlarged pores, resulting in smoother skin with an enhanced tone and complexion. After an IPL treatment, you may experience 3-5 days of redness similar to a sunburn, with dark spots darkening and flaking off during this period. A series of 3 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart is usually recommended for optimal results. Any discomfort is minimal and can be managed with topical numbing cream.
Laser Genesis is a non-invasive laser treatment that uses heat to enhance skin texture and appearance. It effectively addresses fine lines, wrinkles, acne, rosacea, and sun damage by stimulating the skin’s natural healing and rejuvenation process. The laser also targets tiny blood vessels to reduce redness. Benefits include minimal downtime, no discomfort, quick sessions under 30 minutes, and suitability for all skin tones and ages. We recommend 3 treatments every 4 to 6 weeks to get the best results! Additionally, we offer the Fire & Ice Facial, which combines Laser Genesis with our Signature HydraFacial for an even more comprehensive treatment.
The ResurFX fractional laser is a state-of-the-art, non-ablative skin resurfacing technology that targets only a fraction of the skin, leaving surrounding areas unaffected. This results in minimal recovery time compared to CO2 lasers, which can cause significant peeling and swelling. ResurFX stimulates new collagen and elastin fiber production, essential for radiant, youthful-looking skin. It’s excellent for treating hyperpigmentation, melasma, stretch marks, scarring, fine lines, wrinkles, large pores, and overall skin texture, providing great results with minimal downtime and maximum comfort.
Our microneedling pen is a high-speed microneedling device that is used to treat a variety of conditions including acne and surgical scars, wrinkles, stretch marks, pore size, and signs of aging. By creating microinjuries within the skin, this treatment also stimulates collagen and reduces pigmentation. The microchannels created within the skin allow serums to be absorbed better into the skin during the treatment. Downtime with this treatment is minimal with patients experiencing redness for 12-48 hours. A series of 3-4 treatments spaced a few weeks apart is typically recommended.
Morpheus8 is a radiofrequency microneedling device ideal for patients needing deeper treatment. It’s perfect for addressing skin laxity, moderate to severe acne scarring, wrinkles, dullness, and large pores. Downtime is typically 5-7 days, with redness, mild bruising, and scabbing. Pain is managed with Pro Nox and topical anesthetic. For best results, a series of 3 treatments every 4-6 weeks is recommended.
SmoothGlo combines Intense Pulse Light (IPL) and RF microneedling with the Legend Pro device. IPL targets dark spots and redness, while RF microneedling improves skin texture, wrinkles, and other concerns. This combined approach provides optimal results with 5-7 days of downtime. A series of 3 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart is recommended.
Photofractional combines IPL and ResurFX to address both tone and textural irregularities. By reducing pigmentation and redness while stimulating collagen production, it makes your skin more even in color and texture. With minimal downtime, you may experience some redness and swelling for a few days. It’s recommended to wear sunscreen post-treatment. For best results, a series of 3 treatments every 4 to 6 weeks is advised.
Laser hair removal uses light to target the melanin in hair follicles’ growth centers. The light then converts to heat to destroy the follicle at its source. Hair follicles can no longer grow in the treatment area without their growth centers.
We recommend getting multiple laser hair removal treatments because they target the active phase of the hair growth cycle. When hair is in the resting phase, known as the telogen phase, it can’t correctly absorb light or generate enough heat to damage the growth center.
If you follow your customized laser hair removal plan, you’ll likely gain long-lasting results. Laser hair removal effectively eliminates 80 to 90% of hair within the treated areas.
Even if you notice hair growing back, it is typically finer and less noticeable than it was before. For most people, that means there is no longer a need for daily shaving.
Laser hair removal can treat the bikini area, legs, underarms, neck, face, back, chest, and arms. Depending on the treatment area, the procedure can take 15-60 minutes. You may experience mild swelling around hair follicles and slight redness of the skin.
While most clients experience maximum results after 4 to 8 treatments, we encourage you to have the number of laser hair removal treatments that achieve their desired results.
The number of treatments required varies depending on your desired results and how your hair responds. Once results are achieved, a maintenance treatment every 6-12 months is typically recommended.
