Introduction
We can all agree that removing hair can be a pain. Shaving leaves ingrown hairs and bumps, and waxing is painful and can sometimes leave areas looking blotchy and uneven. The worst part of it all—it always grows back, and the cycle continues. The only solution to achieving smooth, hairless skin without constant touch-ups is laser hair removal. At Elevation Medical Aesthetics in Queensbury, our expert aestheticians with decades of experience under their belt perform these treatments for patients just like you each day. Patients report feeling at ease with results they love, knowing that they’ll never have to go back to tedious forms of hair removal ever again.
Tired of constant shaving, waxing, or tweezing? Laser hair removal offers a long-lasting solution for unwanted hair, leaving your skin smooth and carefree. Using advanced laser technology, we target hair follicles to reduce regrowth safely and effectively, with minimal discomfort.
Perfect for virtually any area and on ANY skin color—legs, arms, bikini line, face, and more—our treatments are customized to your skin type and hair color for optimal results. Say goodbye to razor burn and ingrown hairs and hello to a hassle-free beauty routine.
The most sought-after benefit of laser hair removal is long-term, sometimes permanent, results. This treatment eliminates the need for shaving, waxing, plucking, and hair-removal creams, all of which offer temporary solutions to hair-free skin. While the treatment involves several key appointments to achieve satisfactory results, the outcome is long-term, meaning that touch-ups are no longer necessary.
If you want to go to the beach on a whim, no more worrying about shaving before heading out! No more worrying about shaving your legs for the summer, it’s already taken care of. This gives patients peace of mind, as it’s one less thing to worry about.
Laser hair removal is available for adults who have unwanted hair in areas such as the legs, armpits, arms, bikini line, or other areas of the body. For children and minors, we offer laser hair removal for certain concerns in consultation with parents and guardians.
Specifically, ideal patients should have a strong contrast between their skin color and hair color, meaning those with fairer skin tones and darker hair. While some patients with darker skin tones may be candidates, it is best to consult with one of our professionals in Queensbury to ensure that this treatment is safe for you. For the best results, we suggest a holiday from waxing for at least 30 days prior to your treatments.
Those who are pregnant, taking medications (such as Accutane), have certain tattoos, or have recently been exposed to the sun or tanning may not be suitable candidates.
To find out whether you’re the right candidate for laser hair removal, we invite you to sit down with one of our experienced laser technicians in Queensbury. This is an opportunity for you to review your goals, concerns, and medical history to determine whether laser hair removal or another treatment is best suited for your needs. We will conduct a thorough examination of your skin, the areas of concern, and review your background information, while also providing an opportunity for you to ask questions and be as informed as possible about the procedure. If it is determined that you are a suitable candidate, we will review pricing, a treatment schedule, and any necessary pre- and post-treatment care before scheduling your first appointment.
One of our experienced laser technicians in Queensbury will guide you through the process again, address any last-minute questions, and ensure the treatment area is clean and prepared. You may be asked to shave the area ahead of time.
During the session, the laser device is passed over the treatment area, emitting targeted light energy that’s absorbed by the hair follicles. You might feel a slight snapping or warming sensation, but many find the experience very tolerable, especially compared to waxing. Treatment time varies depending on the size of the area, but sessions are quick and efficient, typically taking less than 15 minutes.
Recovery after laser hair removal is minimal, making it a popular choice among patients with busy schedules. You may notice some redness, slight swelling, or sensitivity in the treated area for the first 24 to 48 hours, but this is completely normal and usually subsides quickly with gentle care and the use of cooling compresses, if needed.
We recommend avoiding sun exposure, hot showers, saunas, and rigorous workouts for the first day or two to prevent irritation. You’ll also want to skip any exfoliating products for a few days. As the hair follicles respond to treatment, you might notice hair gradually shedding over the next one to three weeks.
The cost of laser hair removal in Queensbury really depends on the areas being treated and the amount that needs to be removed. Generally, these can cost anywhere from $200 to $ 1,000 or more and may require multiple sessions to complete. Since everyone is unique, your consultation with our laser technicians will provide an exact quote tailored to your specific needs and goals. Packaged pricing and financing may also be available.
