Hair Removal
An innovative laser technology has brought the end of an era of cumbersome and painful hair removal techniques such as waxing, plucking, shaving and electrolysis. These costly, archaic techniques are only temporary and do not provide the permanently smooth, kissable skin produced by laser therapy.
Our Refresh MedSpa & Aesthetics laser hair removal procedure is safe and proven effective for men and women of all ages who struggle with extra hair on their legs, chest, arms, shoulders, abdomen, bikini region, neck, nostrils, buttocks, sideburns or ears. Its automatic cooling system ensures that clients are completely comfortable and at ease throughout the entire hair removal process. All you feel is a mild tingling sensation that lets you know the laser is doing its job.
This luxurious grooming technique takes anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour or more, depending on the amount of hair targeted. Note that the laser energy can only destroy hair follicles undergoing the growth phase, so multiple treatments are required for comprehensive improvement. Most clients benefit from 4-8 sessions spaced at least six weeks apart. Over time, silky, stubble-free skin is achieved and maintained long term. Come in for some of the best laser hair removal Refresh MedSpa & Aesthetics has to offer.

The first step is the application of a topical anesthetic, if the patient requires it.
Our versatile handpiece has a variety of settings and can be applied to almost any area of the body. It is also appropriate for all pigmentations, and for those who are suntanned. The aesthetician doles out temperature-controlled micro pulses of laser energy which pierce the hair follicles at their roots, disrupting the active growth phase of the hair.
While the laser works, the device emits a waft of cool air, soothing the skin and counteracting any discomfort. The laser handpiece is continuously in contact with our computer systems, ensuring safe levels of heat at all times.
Each hair comes from a follicle which is the hair’s root. The root is nourished by blood vessels and capillaries. Every 23 to 72 hours, cells at the hair’s root divide. This is faster than almost any other cell in the human body. In other words, if you simply cut, shave or tweeze the hair above the follicle, it will quickly regenerate.
Hair passes through four phases: anagen, catagen, telogen and exogen. Hairs are continuously passing through each of these stages, but not altogether, which is why our Refresh MedSpa & Aesthetics laser hair removal can only target that small proportion of hair that is within the anagen, or growing phase. The other phases are known as the regression phase, shedding phase and resting phase, and none of these lend themselves to the laser hair removal process.
While discomfort is typically minimal with the procedure, some clients may experience redness or flushing at the laser sites. These side effects will fade within a day or two and should not be considered serious. Other than redness, there is nothing preventing you from returning to work and normal activities directly after laser hair removal treatment.
While certain clients may be tempted to undergo laser hair removal at the hands of unlicensed technicians at a day spa or other beauty establishment, there is real benefit in choosing vetted, experienced practitioners for this delicate hair removal process. For one thing, if there are any complications or side effects, a medical doctor is on hand, ready and able to address them. You can trust that The Refresh Med Spa will give you a Refresh MedSpa & Aesthetics laser hair removal treatment you will love.
For another thing, Dr. Venessa, who oversees our Refresh MedSpa & Aesthetics has over 20 years of experience in the cosmetic industry, and is known for his exacting and artistic eye.
