Advanced Laser Treatments Serving Albany, New York

Laser hair removal provides a permanent solution to unwanted body hair, eliminating the need for constant shaving, waxing, or plucking. At The Artistry of Face, our skilled medspa providers deliver powerful laser hair removal in Albany using the cutting-edge Diolaze™ system by InMode.

What Is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is a process that uses concentrated light energy to target and destroy hair follicles at their root. The Diolaze™ diode laser beam penetrates the skin and is absorbed by melanin in the hair shaft. This energy converts to heat, damaging the follicle and preventing future hair growth.

Areas of treatment:

  • Legs
  • Arms
  • Underarms
  • Shoulders
  • Bikini area
  • Chest
  • Stomach
  • Back
  • Neck
  • Chin
  • Sideburns

Good Candidates for Laser Hair Removal

Ideal candidates for laser hair removal are individuals who are tired of temporary hair removal methods and want long-lasting results. The treatment works best on clients with darker hair and lighter skin tones. Good candidates should have realistic expectations and be committed to completing the recommended treatment series. Schedule a consultation today to see if laser hair removal is right for you!

The Procedure

Before treatment, the area is cleansed, and excess hair is trimmed to optimal length. The Diolaze™ system features one of the largest cooling surfaces available, making sessions comfortable. The majority of clients report experiencing only a mild snapping sensation, similar to a rubber band.

During your session, the laser handpiece is gently moved over the skin while delivering controlled pulses of light energy to the hair follicles. Treatment times vary depending on the area size, with smaller areas taking just minutes to complete.

After Laser Hair Removal Therapy

Recovery from laser hair removal is minimal, allowing clients to head home or back to work immediately afterward. The treated area(s) may appear slightly red or feel like a mild sunburn for a few hours following the session. Be sure to avoid sun exposure and apply sunscreen to protect the treated skin. Hair will begin shedding naturally over the following weeks, revealing smoother skin underneath.

Laser Hair Removal FAQs

How many appointments will I need?

K
L

Most clients require four to six sessions to achieve optimal results, though the exact number varies based on individual factors like hair color and type. Multiple sessions are necessary because laser hair removal specifically targets hair follicles in their active growth phase, and at any given time, your hair exists in different stages of growth.

Should I shave or wax before coming in?

K
L

Do not shave before your consultation so that we can properly assess your hair growth. However, please shave the treatment area the night before or morning of your procedure to enable easier laser access to the underlying hair follicles. Avoid waxing, plucking, or using depilatory creams for at least four weeks before treatment, as these methods remove the hair root that the laser needs to target.

How far apart are laser hair removal sessions?

K
L
Appointments are generally scheduled several weeks apart to allow additional hairs to enter a treatable stage of their growth cycle. The recommended interval varies depending on the body area and individual hair growth patterns.

What happens if I miss a laser hair removal appointment?

K
L
Missing an appointment will not erase the progress you have already made, but it can extend the overall treatment timeline. Your medspa provider can help you determine when to schedule your next session.

Does laser hair removal work on gray or white hair?

K
L
Laser hair removal is generally ineffective on gray and white hair because they contain little to no melanin for the laser to target. A consultation can help determine whether your hair color is suitable for Diolaze™ treatment.

Is laser hair removal safe for sensitive skin?

K
L
Having sensitive skin does not automatically rule out laser hair removal. We can evaluate your skin and determine whether treatment settings can be appropriately customized.

Can men get laser hair removal?

K
L
Yes, laser hair removal is commonly performed for men who want to reduce unwanted body or facial hair. Treatment can be tailored to the desired degree of hair reduction and the specific area being addressed.

Do I need maintenance laser hair removal treatments?

K
L
Some clients choose occasional maintenance treatments after completing their initial series to address new or remaining hair growth. The need and frequency vary based on individual hair patterns, hormones, and long-term response to treatment.
