Laser Hair Reduction
New Hope, PA | Newtown, PA | Upper Dublin, PA | Ellis Preserve,PAstart
Traditional hair removal methods such as shaving, waxing, electrolysis, and tweezing provide temporary results.
However, laser hair reduction remains the top treatment for achieving the highest level of long-term hair reduction. Treatment outcomes vary from person to person due to factors like genetics and hormones.
At La Chelé, we use the latest technology to reduce unwanted hair from virtually any part of the body with unmatched speed, safety, and effectiveness.
Our lasers are tailored to treat a range of skin types and color of hair, allowing us to serve a diverse range of patients more effectively than many other centers. It’s important to note that hair grows in cycles, and only about one-third of the hair is visible at any given time. For optimal results, we recommend multiple treatments spaced several weeks apart.
Laser hair reduction is a medical procedure that uses concentrated light energy to target and destroy hair follicles, preventing future hair growth. At La Chelé Medical Aesthetics & Wellness, we use advanced laser technology that effectively treats unwanted hair while providing a more permanent solution compared to waxing, shaving, or plucking. Traditional hair reduction methods such as shaving, waxing, electrolysis, and tweezing are effective temporary hair removal techniques; however, laser hair removal still stands as the top treatment for as much hair reduction as possible. Treatment results may vary from person to person depending on many genetic factors.
Using the latest technology available, our medical aestheticians can lessen unwanted hair from virtually any part of your body with unparalleled speed, safety, and efficacy. Each of our lasers is specific to certain skin types and colors of hair, allowing us to treat the full spectrum of unique skin types more effectively than other laser centers. This treatment works by emitting a beam of light that is absorbed by the pigment in the hair. The energy is then converted into heat, which damages the hair follicles and inhibits future growth. Laser hair reduction is quick, effective, and offers long-lasting results.
It is important to note that hair grows in cycles, and only about one-third of a patient’s hair is visible above the skin at any time. Therefore, for optimal hair clearance, it is recommended that patients undergo a series of multiple treatments, spaced several weeks apart.
The INMODE Triton Laser utilizes multi-wavelength hair reduction energies that work together to address a wide range of concerns. During treatment, laser beams from advanced wavelengths (Diode, Alexandrite, or NdYag) pass through the skin, targeting hair follicles. The energy is absorbed by the hair and converted into heat, damaging the stem cells to prevent future growth. The Triton laser is the first and only FDA-cleared device that simultaneously fires multiple wavelengths, allowing for safe treatment of all skin types.
During the session, the laser is passed over the treatment area. The device emits light pulses, targeting the hair follicles. Depending on the size of the area being treated, the procedure takes 15 to 45 minutes. Our skilled technicians customize treatments to meet your unique needs based on your skin type, ethnicity, and lifestyle. We also offer the Candela GentleMax Pro at select La Chelé locations. This industry-leading laser is another highly effective option for hair reduction and is safe for all skin types.
Laser hair reduction is a great solution for anyone who wants to reduce or eliminate unwanted hair. Common areas treated include:
Unlike shaving and waxing, laser hair reduction can offer long-lasting results. After a series of treatments, hair growth significantly diminishes, and the skin remains smooth for months or even years.
Lasers can target multiple hair follicles at once, making the process much faster than traditional methods. Areas like the legs or back can be treated in under an hour.
The advanced technology used in our laser hair reduction ensures that it’s effective for various skin tones and types, making it suitable for nearly everyone.
Laser hair reduction is generally well-tolerated. Any discomfort during treatment is brief and mild compared to the pain associated with waxing.
Unlike shaving or waxing, which can cause ingrown hairs, laser hair reduction directly targets the hair follicle to prevent future ingrown hairs.
Laser hair reduction is the gold standard for both men and women looking to reduce unwanted hair from nearly any area of the body.
It offers the freedom to be hair-free without shaving, waxing, or tweezing and can significantly reduce ingrown hairs. However, it’s important to note that laser hair reduction is not effective for individuals with “peach fuzz” on the face, light blonde, grey, red, or silver hair. The ideal candidate has dark, coarse hair. To ensure safety and effectiveness, we recommend avoiding sun exposure and self-tanning products at minimum of three to four weeks prior to treatment.
One of the greatest benefits of laser hair reduction is its minimal recovery time.
After your treatment, you may experience mild redness and swelling in the treated area, but can generally return to normal activities right away. However, to maximize results and minimize side effects, it’s important to follow a few simple aftercare guidelines:
Most patients begin to see noticeable hair reduction after 6-12 sessions, with results becoming more dramatic as the treatments continue. Following the recommended treatment plan, you can expect to see:

Most patients describe laser hair reduction as mildly uncomfortable, with a sensation similar to a warm snapping rubber band. We encourage patients to arrive about 20 minutes before their appointment so we can apply a topical numbing agent if needed. Some patients find the treatment tolerable without numbing.
Hair grows in cycles, and hair in the active growth phase responds better to laser treatments. Because hair is in various stages of growth at any time, the number of treatments required depends on factors like hair density, color, and hormones. Laser hair reduction may require ongoing maintenance. With each session, you’ll notice a progressive reduction in hair. Patient compliance is crucial for optimal results.
We recommend shaving the area one day before treatment, leaving the hair one to two millimeters in length. The shorter the hair, the safer and less painful the treatment. Avoid tweezing, waxing, or other depilatory methods for at least two weeks before laser treatment and throughout the course of your sessions.
The most common side effects after laser hair reduction are erythema (redness) and follicular edema (swelling) at the treatment site, which may last a few hours. Applying ice or a cold compress can reduce discomfort and swelling, and you may take acetaminophen for pain relief.
As with any laser treatment, there is a rare risk of hyperpigmentation (darkening of the skin), hypopigmentation (lightening of the skin), and burns, especially for those with darker or tanned skin.
No, laser hair removal does not get rid of peach fuzz on the face. The laser targets dark, coarse hair.
Pricing for laser hair removal varies depending on body location.
No, laser hair removal only works on dark, coarse hair.
Laser hair reduction can be done on areas with tattoos, but it requires caution. We can safely treat around tattoos, but not directly. The laser targets the pigment in the hair, and tattoos contain pigment that can absorb the laser energy, which may cause skin damage or fade the tattoo.
