At European Style Aesthetics in Manhattan and Brooklyn, NY, we use the Sciton Joule for Laser Hair Removal that is safe on most skin types and skin colors. This system uses laser light – an intense, pulsating beam of light that passes through the skin to the hair follicle where the energy is absorbed and transformed into heat, disabling the follicle while leaving the surrounding area unaffected.
Sciton Laser Hair Removal offers longer-lasting results then other hair removal methods such as shaving, tweezing or electrolysis.
Sciton Laser Hair Removal is recommended in packages of three or more in order to disable all of the active hair follicles.
Commonly Asked Questions
Laser Hair Removal utilizes laser treatments to offer a safe and effective method of removing unwanted body hair.
Laser Hair Removal can permanently disable the hair you have in an active growth cycle on the day of your treatment. Follicles that are not active will enter the growth phase in a few weeks and will then be treatable. Most active hair follicles must be treated more than once. Circumstances such as pregnancy, menopause, certain medications and hormonal conditions can trigger a dormant follicle to grow in. Dormant follicles are not active and therefore not able to be treated. The new growth, however, will be much lighter in color and considerably finer in texture because of the procedure. If this should happen, a touch-up treatment would be required.
Anywhere on the skin surface.
Tanned skin can be unsafe to treat so always inform us if you have been tanning or exposed to the sun within the last three weeks. We will adjust your treatment settings or alter your treatment regime accordingly to give you the safest most effective experience.
A treatment normally takes between 15 and 45 minutes, although time varies depending upon the area being treated.
The hair that was treated will begin to work its way out of the follicle and will start to fall out between 10-14 days after the treatment.
Side effects may include slight redness (most clients return to natural color within 20 -30 minutes). Pigmentary changes of the skin, blisters and hot spots are rare but occasionally occur.
Each body area has a different price and every person’s skin requires a different number of treatments for the best results. Please contact us for a specific cost.
