ABOUT LASER HAIR REDUCTION/REMOVAL

Laser hair removal is a safe, non-invasive treatment that uses concentrated light energy to permanently reduce unwanted hair. At Ethos Med Spa, we use the Lumenis Stellar M22 IPL system, one of the most advanced and trusted technologies in the world.

During treatment, the device delivers pulses of intense light that are absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in your hair. This light energy heats the hair follicle and disrupts its ability to grow-without damaging the surrounding skin. Over a series of sessions, hair grows back more fine, more slowly and eventually not at all.

Our IPL technology is designed to target a wide range of skin tones and hair types with precision and comfort. whether you’re treating your face, underarms, bikini line or full body, laser hair removal is a long-term solution that leaves your skin smoother and more refined with every visit.

WHAT IT IS

What should I expect from Laser Hair Removal?

When you come to Ethos Med Spa for laser hair removal with the Lumenis Stellar M22, you can expect a treatment experience that’s fast, effective, and tailored to your skin and hair type.

Heres what to expect:

Quick treatments - Sessions are short and efficient, depending on the area treated. Small areas like the upper lip take just minutes, while larger areas like the legs or back may take 30-60 minutes.

Minimal Discomfort - Most clients describe the sensation as a quick snap, like a rubber band against the skin. Our IPL device includes advanced cooling for enhanced comfort.

Gradual Hair Reduction - After each session, you’ll notice less hair regrowth. Most clients need a series of 6-8 sessions spaced several weeks apart (depends on area of treatment) for optimal results.

No Downtime - You may have mild redness or sensitivity for a few hours post treatment (similar to a mild sunburn), but you can return to your day immediately - just skip heat and sun exposure for minimum of 48 hours , but preferably refrain from excess sun exposure for the duration of your series.

Long-Term Smoothness - With consistent treatments and proper aftercare, you’ll experience permanent hair reduction and smoother skin with fewer ingrown hairs, bumps, or irritation.

At Ethos, we prioritize your safety and results, using the most advanced IPL technology available to deliver expert-level outcomes with every visit.

Laser hair removal works by targeting the pigment (melanin) inside each hair follicle with concentrated light energy. At Ethos Med Spa, we use the Lumenis Stellar M22 IPL system, which safely delivers intense pulses of light that are absorbed by the hair shaft. That heat energy travels down to the root and disables the follicle’s ability to grow hair.

This process is called “selective photothermolysis”-which means we’re precisely targeting hair while leaving the surrounding skin untouched. Each treatment only affect hairs in their active growth phase (anagen), which is why multiple sessions are needed for the most effective, long-term reduction.

As sessions progress, hair becomes lighter, finer, and grows back more slowly- until many of the follicles stop producing hair all together. The result? Smooth, stubble free skin without the irritation of shaving or waxing.
