Is laser hair removal safe?

Yes. At Lakewood Med Spa, we use the AresLite® system under strict FDA-cleared protocols. Treatment parameters are customized to your skin tone and hair type before every session to ensure safety and effectiveness.

Is the treatment painful?

The AresLite® system includes an advanced cooling mechanism that protects the skin surface and improves comfort throughout treatment. Most patients describe the sensation as a mild snap or warmth. Discomfort varies by treatment area.

How long does a session take?

Small areas such as the upper lip or chin take 5–10 minutes. Larger areas such as the legs or back may take 30–60 minutes. Multiple areas can often be treated in a single appointment.

What do I need to do before and after my appointment?

Before: shave the area 24 hours prior, avoid sun exposure and tanning for 2 weeks, and do not wax or pluck between sessions. After: apply gentle skincare, use SPF 50+ daily, and avoid heat (saunas, hot showers) for 24–48 hours. You may return to normal activities immediately.

How many sessions are needed?

A series of 6 to 8 sessions is typically recommended. Hair grows in cycles and laser energy only targets follicles in the active growth phase — multiple sessions are required to treat all follicles as they cycle through. Additional sessions may be needed for dense or hormonally driven hair growth.

AresLite® Non-Crystal Diode Laser Technology

The AresLite® system uses a non-crystal diode platform designed for consistent energy delivery, effective follicle targeting, and patient comfort across a wide range of skin tones and hair types. High output power, advanced cooling, and precision spot control allow treatment of both small and large areas efficiently.

✓Multi-wavelength diode platform targets follicles at varying depths

✓Non-crystal handpiece for stable energy output and durability

✓Advanced cooling protects the skin surface throughout treatment

✓Multiple spot sizes adapt to different body areas

✓High-power output for dense or coarse hair

Common Treatment Areas

Treatment parameters are chosen based on skin tone, hair caliber, density, and the body area being treated. This technology is appropriate for both coarse and fine hair when protocols are matched to the patient's characteristics.

→Upper lip and chin

→Underarms

→Arms and hands

→Legs

→Chest and abdomen

→Back and shoulders

→Bikini and Brazilian

Skin Tone & Hair Considerations

The multi-wavelength diode platform treats a wide range of skin tones when appropriate settings and cooling protocols are used. Fitzpatrick skin type, hair color, thickness, and growth pattern are all evaluated at consultation to guide session planning.

•Requires multiple sessions — laser targets actively growing follicles only

•Non-pigmented (very light, gray, or white) hair cannot be effectively treated

•Sun exposure and tanning should be avoided 2 weeks before and after each session
