Laser Hair Removal

Using the Elite IQ™ Laser, hair follicles responsible for hair growth on the body are targeted and destroyed, without damaging the surrounding skin. After the treatment, the follicles are permanently damaged, resulting in hair growth reduction. Say hello to smoother skin!

Using patented Skintel® technology, our advanced Laser Technicians at NuSkin Laser can customize Laser Hair Removal treatments to suit all skin types, including those with darker skin tones. Skintel® allows for an adjustment of treatment settings in real-time, ensuring maximum comfort and effectiveness. 

It's important to keep in mind that complete hair removal is not possible, but with a series of treatments and minimal maintenance, we can get very close to near-permanent hair reduction!

During your Laser Hair Removal treatment at NuSkin Laser, you can expect the following:

Consultation

Before the treatment, you will have a consultation with a NuSkin Laser Technician who will evaluate your skin and hair type, medical history, and other relevant factors to determine if you are a good candidate for the treatment.

Preparation

The treatment area will be cleaned and prepped for the treatment. If necessary, a topical numbing cream may be applied to the area to minimize discomfort.

Treatment

The Elite IQ™ Laser will be used to target the hair follicles in the treatment area. The laser emits a concentrated beam of light that is absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicles, damaging them and preventing future hair growth.

Cooling

To minimize discomfort and protect the skin, the Elite IQ™ Laser has a built-in cooling system that will be activated during the treatment.

Post-Treatment Care

After the treatment, you will be given specific aftercare instructions on how to care for the treated area. This will include avoiding sun exposure and using a gentle moisturizer to soothe the skin.

It's important to note that the number of treatments required will vary depending on factors such as the area being treated, hair thickness, and skin type. Your NuSkin Laser Technician will discuss a customized treatment plan and expectations with you.

Laser Hair Removal at NuSkin Laser is designed to minimize discomfort during the procedure. While everyone's pain tolerance is different, most people experience minimal to moderate discomfort during the treatment, which is often described as a snapping or stinging sensation. To ensure that the patient is as comfortable as possible, the Elite IQ™ Laser has a built-in cooling system that helps to soothe the skin during the treatment. Additionally, a topical numbing cream can be applied to the area being treated to further minimize discomfort. Overall, Elite IQ™ Laser Hair Removal is a well-tolerated treatment that can provide effective and lasting results with minimal discomfort.

While Laser Hair Removal can significantly reduce hair growth, it cannot guarantee complete hair removal. This is because the laser targets the hair follicles, and some hair follicles may be less responsive to the treatment than others.

Additionally, new hair follicles can sometimes develop over time, which may require additional treatments to maintain the results. However, with a series of treatments and proper maintenance, Laser Hair Removal can achieve near-permanent hair reduction.

At NuSkin Laser, we use advanced technology so that Laser Hair Removal can be used to treat hair on virtually any area of the body, including:

Face: Upper lip, chin, cheeks, sideburns, and neck.

Body: Arms, underarms, chest, abdomen, back, shoulders, bikini line, and legs.

Intimate Areas: Buttocks, genital area, and nipples.

Laser Hair Removal is safe and effective on all skin types, including dark and tanned skin. However, it's essential to keep in mind that the number of treatments required will vary depending on the area being treated and the individual's hair growth cycle. Your treatment provider will help determine the best treatment plan for your specific needs.

The treatment plan for Elite IQ™ Laser Hair Removal is customized based on individual hair removal needs and the target area. Generally, optimal results are achieved after 6-8+ sessions. The treatment plan is flexible and designed to fit your unique lifestyle. You can discuss the treatment plan thoroughly with a Laser Technician at NuSkin Laser during your complimentary consultation.

It's important to note that Laser Hair Removal only targets hair during the active stages of growth. Therefore, multiple treatments are required to achieve desired results. As each treatment progresses, you can expect to see a gradual reduction in hair thickness and the amount of hair in the treated area, until the desired outcome is reached.

To prepare for your Laser Hair Removal treatment at NuSkin Laser, follow these guidelines:

Avoid sun exposure

It's essential to avoid sun exposure and tanning beds for at least two weeks before your treatment. If you have a sunburn or a tan, the treatment may cause additional discomfort or damage to your skin.

Shave the treatment area

Shaving the treatment area the day before your appointment is recommended. This will allow the laser to target the hair follicles more effectively.

Avoid waxing or plucking

It's important to avoid waxing, plucking, or threading the treatment area for at least 3-4 weeks before your appointment. These methods can remove the hair follicles, making the laser treatment less effective.

Avoid skincare products

Refrain from using skincare products that contain alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs), or retinoids for at least one week before your appointment. These ingredients can make your skin more sensitive and increase the risk of side effects.

Wear comfortable clothing

Wear loose, comfortable clothing to your appointment that will allow the treatment area to be easily accessible.
