At beyond|AESTHETICS, we utilize advanced laser technology to target hair follicles at the root, disabling growth while preserving the surrounding skin. Because hair grows in distinct cycles, achieving complete, smooth coverage requires a strategic series of treatments. Every session is calibrated to your skin type and hair density to deliver safe, effective, and lasting results.
No Alternative Hair Removal Methods: Do not wax, pluck, tweeze, sugar, or use depilatory creams (e.g., Nair).
Preserve the Root: The hair follicle and root must remain intact beneath the skin for the laser to effectively target and destroy it.
Keep Skin in Its Most Natural State: The treatment area must be completely free of active sun exposure, tans, sunburns, rashes, or skin irritation.
Avoid Artificial & Natural Tanning: Stop using self-tanners, tanning beds, or direct sun exposure prior to your session to prevent pigment complications or burns.
Pause Active Topicals: Avoid harsh exfoliants, active scrubs, or irritating skincare ingredients in the treatment area for a few days prior.
Shave the Treatment Area: Patients must shave the area being treated the day before or the day of the appointment. (Do not leave stubble or long hair on the surface).
Arrive with Clean Skin: Ensure the treatment zone is thoroughly clean and free of body lotions, oils, deodorants, perfumes, or heavy makeup.
Preparing your skin before laser treatment ensures your skin matrix is calm, uninflamed, and deeply hydrated—maximizing laser efficiency while minimizing the risk of adverse pigment reactions.
Why use pre-treatment: Skin must be in its natural state—completely free of active tanning, sunburns, or UV damage—prior to your session. Daily physical mineral broad-spectrum sunscreen protects skin from pigment complications.

Our priority is surpassing your expectations.
We typically recommend a series of 6 treatments for most patients. Because hair grows in distinct cycles and responds at varying speeds across different body areas, multiple sessions are required to target all follicles during their active growth phase.
It is typical to see a 10% to 20% reduction in hair per treatment. Over the course of your treatment series, you will notice significant cumulative reduction, finer hair texture, and much slower regrowth.
Yes. Patients must shave the treatment area the day before or the day of their appointment. Shaving leaves the hair root intact under the skin while removing surface hair, which prevents surface burns and allows the laser energy to focus directly into the follicle.
Yes. Immediately after treatment, it is completely normal to experience mild redness and small bumps around the hair follicles (follicular edema). The area may also feel like a mild sunburn. These reactions are temporary and usually resolve within 1 to 2 days. You can apply aloe vera or a cold pack for soothing relief.
