What is Laser Hair Removal?

Our painless laser hair removal in Charlotte, NC is a fast and virtually painless procedure that destroys hair follicles at their roots, preventing them from continuing to grow hair. This means your skin is smooth, soft, and ready to go for the long term. At the Beck Aesthetic Surgery medspa, we utilize the Motus AY, a cutting-edge proprietary laser device and the new laser of choice for hair removal.

How Laser Hair Removal Works

Laser hair removal utilizes a scientifically designed laser to target and heat the hair follicles in the skin, which renders them unable to produce hair. Laser hair removal can be done anywhere on the body, targeting:

  • Leg hair
  • Facial hair
  • Back hair
  • Arm hair
  • Underarm hair
  • Upper lip hair
  • Neck and beard hair
  • The bikini area
  • Hair on the fingers and toes

Benefits of the Motus AY

  • Fewer and shorter treatment sessions are required
  • Great for all skin types and ethnicities
  • Reduces 50-90% of hair

Your Consultation

Laser hair removal begins with an assessment of your skin type and hair color to determine which type of laser will be most effective and the number of treatments you will need. We generally recommend starting with six treatments, but more may be necessary. 

When laser hair removal first became available, it was only suitable for those with fair skin and dark hair because the laser would only target dark pigment. With today’s advances in science, virtually painless laser hair removal in Charlotte, NC, is effective on a wider range of hair colors. However, laser hair removal is not effective on white, gray, blonde or red hair.

What to Expect During Treatment

If you're considering laser hair removal in Charlotte, here's what you can expect from your treatment at our practice. The procedure begins with the application of a cooling gel, and protective eyewear will be provided. The laser is then applied to the treatment area or areas. You may experience a slight stinging or burning sensation as the laser works, but the majority of patients find the treatment very tolerable. The technology reduces any discomfort typically associated with laser hair removal. 

Depending on the size of the area to be treated, your treatment will require a bit more or less time but are not typically lengthy. The number of treatments needed varies from person to person. A typical treatment regimen is six or more sessions, each spaced about a month apart, depending on which area is being treated.

Results After Laser Hair Removal Treatments

You will notice less hair after the first laser hair removal treatment. Once the full series of treatments are complete and all the hairs in the area have been treated by the laser during their growth phase, you will be able to enjoy your final results–a significant reduction of unwanted hair and the prevention of future hair growth. 

During the healing process after your treatments, protect your vulnerable skin from direct sub and use high SPF sunscreen. Do not pluck, tweeze or shave the treated area during the healing phase.

Laser Hair Removal FAQ

Is laser hair removal permanent?

How should I prepare for each session?

Can I be treated during the summer?

What happens if I miss a session?

Are there risks or side effects?

Can multiple areas be treated in one visit?

Will laser hair removal help with hormonally driven hair growth?

Is laser hair removal permanent?

Laser hair removal produces long-term reduction in hair growth, but it is more accurate to call it a significant and lasting reduction than a guaranteed permanent result. Most patients see a dramatic decrease in hair density and thickness after their treatment series. Occasional touch-up sessions may be needed over time to address any minor regrowth.

How should I prepare for each session?

Shave the treatment area one to two days before your appointment. Avoid plucking, waxing, or any method that removes the root, as the laser needs the follicle intact to work. Stay out of the sun and avoid tanning beds for at least two weeks prior to each session.

Can I be treated during the summer?

Treatment is possible during summer months, but sun-exposed skin requires extra care. Fresh tans and active sunburns should be fully resolved before your appointment, and diligent sun protection between sessions is essential. Many patients find it easier to stay on track when scheduling appointments during lower-sun-exposure periods.

What happens if I miss a session?

Missing a session does not restart the process, but some follicles may cycle through their growth phase unaddressed in the meantime. Getting back on schedule as soon as possible is the best course of action.

Are there risks or side effects?

Temporary redness and mild sensitivity in the treated area are the most common responses. More significant side effects, including pigmentation changes or blistering, are uncommon when treatment is performed by a skilled provider using appropriate settings for your skin type.

Can multiple areas be treated in one visit?

Yes. Smaller areas like the upper lip or underarms are often combined into a single appointment. Larger areas such as the legs or back may require more time, but the Motus AY is significantly faster than older laser systems, making multi-area sessions practical for most patients.

Will laser hair removal help with hormonally driven hair growth?

Hormonal conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome can cause persistent or recurring hair growth that may require more sessions than average. The Motus AY can still deliver meaningful reduction in these cases, though the underlying hormonal factor may contribute to some regrowth over time.
