Get Long-lasting Silky, Smooth Skin

There are many ways to achieve smooth, hair-free legs. Unfortunately, most of those options, like waxing, shaving, and tweezing, are actually quite painful. They are only short-term solutions that require frequent repetition, sometimes daily, to keep hair growth under control. If you want a more long-lasting, permanent solution, laser hair removal is the right choice.

Laser Hair Removal at Spitale Laser Spa uses a variety of innovative laser systems. Our lasers destroy hair follicles without affecting the surrounding skin and deliver ultra-short energy pulses at optimal temperatures, ensuring safety and comfort.

How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?

Laser hair removal offers a revolutionary solution for long-term hair reduction by targeting the pigment in your hair, known as melanin, and disabling hair follicles from regrowing. During each session, a burst of high-energy light from the laser is absorbed by the hair's root, not the surrounding skin, effectively damaging the hair follicle and preventing future growth.

Multiple sessions are typically needed to achieve the best results. This is because hair grows in three distinct stages, and laser treatment is most effective during the anagen, or “active,” phase when the hair contains the highest levels of melanin. At any given time, only about 20-30% of your hair is in this phase. Your aesthetician will create a customized treatment schedule to ensure you get the most effective results, boosting your confidence throughout the process.

The number of sessions required will depend on the specific area being treated, but with each session, you'll notice a significant reduction in hair growth. Say goodbye to the hassle of shaving and waxing and embrace the smooth, hair-free skin you've always wanted with laser hair removal.

Laser Hair Removal Aftercare & Downtime

Protecting your skin from the sun after laser hair removal is crucial to prevent possible side effects. Follow these guidelines

• Avoid direct sunlight on the treated area.
• Do not use tanning beds, sun lamps, or any other indoor tanning equipment.
• Adhere to your dermatologist’s after-care instructions.

Post-treatment, you may experience some redness and swelling, similar to
a mild sunburn. Applying a cool compress can help alleviate discomfort.

Laser hair removal typically does not require any downtime. Although your treated skin may be red and swollen immediately after the procedure, most people can resume their normal activities immediately.

Experience Revolutionary Hair Removal with Our Innovative Technology

We offer two different laser systems for LHR. These include:

• Candela GentleMax Pro Plus Laser
• Alma Platinum SHR Laser

Candela GentleMax Pro Plus Laser

Spitale Laser Spa is proud to have the gold-standard GentleMax Pro Plus laser by Candela for hair removal, skin tightening, spider vein removal, and many other treatment modalities.

The GentleMax Pro Plus platform is Candela’s latest evolution in the top dermatologist-recommended brand for laser hair removal. Built on over 20 years of clinically proven performance across all skin types, it is designed to exceed your expectations.

With increased power, speed, and larger spot sizes, the GentleMax Pro Plus effectively targets fine, residual hair using short pulse durations, ensuring comprehensive treatments.

Alma Platinum SHR Laser

We also have the newest three-level laser wavelengths, Alma Platinum Laser, to treat almost any skin tone client effectively.

Alma has pioneered a groundbreaking method for truly effective hair removal, providing a simple, one-stop solution. The unique SHR (Super Hair Removal) technology uses gradual heating to effectively damage hair follicles while protecting the surrounding skin from injury.

The innovative In-motion delivery technique keeps the laser in constant motion, ensuring complete coverage of the treated area. This improved coverage helps practitioners avoid common issues like “Zebra stripes” often associated with older, stationary methods.

Alma’s SHR patent is integrated into all its laser hair removal devices, offering superior results and a smoother, more reliable hair removal experience.

The Difference is in the Wavelengths

Most hair removal devices use one specific type of laser wavelength. The most common ones are the 755nm, 808nm, and 1064 nm wavelengths. Each has unique characteristics and different absorption levels in Melanin, the chromophore determining a person’s skin and hair color. Alma’s newest Soprano laser devices combine all these wavelengths simultaneously, making them suitable for all skin types.

Safe, Virtually Painless Hair Removal

Simultaneous contact cooling, introduced with Alma’s award-winning Soprano ICE laser, prevents burns and allows for more comfortable treatment. The specialized applicator allows you to treat large areas in less time than before.

Whether you have light, dark, or tanned skin or coarse or fine hair, Alma’s hair removal solutions achieve maximum results for all areas of the body with treatments that are safe, quick, and, best of all, virtually painless.
