Laser Hair Removal in Marietta, GA

If you're tired of shaving, waxing and dealing with unwanted hair, laser hair removal offers a longer-term approach to reducing hair growth.

At New You Aesthetic in Marietta, laser hair removal treatments are customized by treatment area, hair characteristics and skin type. Because hair grows in cycles, laser hair removal is performed as a series of treatments rather than a one-time appointment.

How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?

Laser hair removal uses light energy that is absorbed by pigment in the hair. That energy is converted to heat and damages targeted hair follicles, helping reduce future hair growth.

The treatment works best on hairs that are in an active growth phase. Since all of your hair isn't in that phase at the same time, multiple sessions are necessary to treat follicles as they cycle through growth.

What Areas Can We Treat?

Laser hair removal can be used on many areas of the face and body. Common treatment areas include:

• Underarms
• Bikini area
• Legs
• Arms
• Back
• Chest
• Beard and neck area
• Other areas with unwanted hair, when appropriate

Treatment time varies considerably depending on the size of the area.

Why Do I Need a Series?

A series matters because laser is most effective when hair is actively growing. Each session targets a different group of active follicles, which is why treatments are spaced over time rather than performed all at once.

At New You Aesthetic, our laser hair removal packages are sold in six-treatment packages, but that does not mean everyone will be finished after six sessions. Six treatments are a starting series, not a guarantee of completion.

Laser hair removal takes several treatments, and some clients may need up to 12 sessions to achieve their best level of hair reduction. The total number depends on the treatment area, hair color and density, skin type, hormones, individual growth cycles and how consistently treatments are scheduled.

Some clients may also benefit from occasional maintenance treatments over time, particularly when hormonal changes influence new hair growth.

What Results Should I Expect?

The goal of laser hair removal is long-term hair reduction. Hair that does regrow may become finer, lighter or less noticeable over the course of treatment.

Results vary based on hair color, skin type, hormones, treatment area and consistency with the recommended schedule. Laser hair removal should not be presented as a guarantee that every treated hair will disappear permanently.

Does Laser Hair Removal Hurt?

Sensation varies by person and treatment area. Many clients describe treatment as a brief warm or snapping sensation. We'll talk through what to expect before beginning your treatment.

How Should I Prepare?

• Shave the treatment area as directed before your appointment.
• Avoid waxing, plucking or tweezing the area before and during your treatment series because the laser needs the hair follicle to be present.
• Avoid tanning and excessive sun exposure before treatment.
• Tell us about medications, recent sun exposure, self-tanner and changes in your medical history.

Your provider will give you specific pre-treatment instructions based on your skin and treatment area.

Laser Hair Removal FAQs

How many sessions will I need?

There is no single number for everyone. Our packages include six sessions, but six sessions should not be considered a guarantee that treatment is complete. Some clients may need up to 12 treatments depending on the area, hair characteristics, hormones and individual growth cycles. Your response will be evaluated throughout the series, and we'll help you understand whether additional sessions are appropriate.

Can I wax between appointments?

No. Waxing, plucking and tweezing remove the follicle target needed for laser treatment. Shaving is generally the preferred method between sessions.

Does laser work on every hair color?

Laser hair removal relies on pigment in the hair, so hair color affects how well it responds. Very light, gray, white or red hair may respond poorly. An assessment helps determine whether treatment is likely to be appropriate for you.

Can I have laser hair removal if I'm tan?

Recent tanning and sun exposure can affect treatment safety. Let us know about natural tanning, tanning beds, self-tanner and upcoming sun exposure so your treatment can be scheduled appropriately.

Will I need maintenance?

Some clients may benefit from occasional maintenance treatments over time. Hormonal changes and other factors can influence future hair growth.
