Laser Hair Removal in Lambertville
Laser Hair Removal
Unwanted body or facial hair can be time consuming and costly to get rid of. Time and money spent shaving, tweezing, epilation, or waxing can make your skin irritated, only to have the hair grow back soon after. All of these factors can cause unnecessary stress over unwanted hair, making the need for a long-term solution: laser hair removal.
At Angie Scott Medical Aesthetics, laser hair removal in Lambertville permanently reduces hair on the face or body by killing the hair follicle and the hair’s ability to grow. The laser technology behind this treatment targets the melanin, or pigment, of the hair to zap the hair follicle at the source. Laser hair removal can work on many body zones, and patients love the long-term effects and smooth skin from this treatment.

Why Try Laser Hair Removal in Lambertville?
01
Long-Term Results
Simply put, laser hair removal is the most effective hair removal technique. You'll enjoy unwanted body hair changing from a nuisance to an afterthought.
02
Less Skin Irritation
Many forms of hair removal come with skin irritation like razor burn, bumps, and itchiness as your hair regrows, especially shaving. Though you may experience some sensitivity right after treatment, once the hair follicles can no longer grow hair, there is virtually no irritation.
03
Increased Confidence
For some, unwanted body hair makes them feel more self-conscious in certain types of clothing. Laser hair removal in Lambertville can help you feel carefree and confident in your skin.
The Laser Hair Removal Process.
What to Expect?
Consultation.
Before your laser hair removal in Lambertville, you'll meet with Angie Scott for a consultation. We will assess if you are a good candidate for laser hair removal. Certain skin and hair colors do not respond well to laser hair removal, so it's important to ensure that you are an ideal candidate before the treatment. Once we determine that you are a candidate for laser hair removal, we will determine how many treatment sessions you'll need based on your desired results.
Laser Hair Removal Treatment.
For your laser hair removal treatments, your laser specialist will give you protective eyewear and ensure you are comfortable before beginning. Then, they will start and run the handpiece over the treatment area(s). You will feel a heat and tolerable snapping sensation from the laser, similar to a rubber band. How long the procedure takes depends on the size and amount of treatment areas.
Next Steps.
After your laser hair removal session at Angie Scott Medical Aesthetics, Angie Scott will explain any aftercare protocol. A series of laser hair removal treatments produces the best results, so we will set your next session appointment(s) afterward.
Before your treatment for laser hair removal in Lambertville, you should:
- Avoid excessive sun exposure, tanning beds, and other activities or products that increase photosensitivity.
- Shave 24 to 48 hours before your appointment. This is to ensure the laser can easily target the hair follicle, not the hair itself.
- Come to your appointment with clean bare skin without oils, creams, or lotions.
- Consult with your doctor about any medications that may interact with laser hair removal.
After your laser hair removal in Lambertville, we recommend you:
- Do not shave, exfoliate, or do anything else abrasive to your skin, as it is sensitive immediately after treatment.
- If needed, apply cooling products like aloe vera.
- Protect your skin with SPF and avoid excess sun exposure.
- Do not use products that increase photosensitivity.
