Enjoy Lasting Freedom
From Unwanted Hair
Hair grows from tiny structures beneath your skin called hair follicles, which function like miniature factories that continuously produce new hairs. Each follicle cycles through phases of growth, rest, and shedding, meaning not every hair is actively growing at the same time. This natural cycle is why unwanted hair keeps returning after shaving, waxing, or plucking: these methods only remove the visible hair, not the follicle responsible for producing it.
At Pink Opal Aesthetics, we use the advanced Aerolase Neo Elite to deliver targeted laser energy into the pigment within active hair follicles. This heat disrupts the follicle’s ability to grow new hair while leaving the surrounding skin largely unaffected. Because hair grows in cycles, a series of treatments is typically recommended to achieve smoother, long-lasting hair reduction.

How Aerolase Laser Hair Removal Works
The Aerolase Neo Elite uses a 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser to deliver concentrated light energy into the hair follicle without significantly heating the surrounding skin. The pigment (melanin) inside the hair absorbs this energy, converting it into heat that disrupts the follicle’s ability to grow new hair. Its 650-microsecond pulse technology delivers energy quickly, helping maximize comfort while safely treating a wide range of skin tones with long-lasting hair reduction.
What Happens During Laser Hair Removal?
Your appointment begins with a consultation to evaluate your skin tone, hair color, and treatment goals. The treatment area is cleansed, and the Aerolase Neo Elite laser delivers quick pulses of light to the hair follicles. Most patients describe the sensation as a brief snap or warming feeling. Sessions are typically fast, allowing you to return to your day with little interruption.
FAQs
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
Because hair grows in cycles, only follicles in the active growth phase respond to treatment. That’s why most patients need a series of treatments spaced weeks apart for optimal results. We will recommend the ideal treatment schedule for your goals.
When Will I Start Seeing Results?
You may notice treated hairs shedding over the next one to three weeks. Hair becomes finer, grows more slowly, and appears less dense after each session. Since every hair follicle follows its own growth cycle, the results continue to improve throughout your treatment series.
Are There Any Side Effects or Downtime?
Most patients experience little to no downtime. Mild redness or warmth around the treated area is common and fades within a few hours. Because the Aerolase Neo Elite targets hair follicles while minimizing heat in the surrounding skin, treatments are generally comfortable.
