Anne Therese Aesthetic Medicine has expanded its service offerings at its Lewis Center, Ohio location to include laser hair removal. The procedure employs focused light energy to target hair follicles at their roots, effectively slowing future hair growth while minimizing skin irritation and reducing dependence on traditional hair removal methods like shaving or waxing. Board-certified physician Dr. Anne Therese Stubbs and her aesthetic team administer the service, integrating it into the clinic's broader array of energy-based and skincare treatments.
During each treatment session, providers first cleanse and prepare the targeted area before applying the laser device, which selectively targets active hair follicles. Patients may notice a brief warming sensation or light snap during the procedure, but most find the experience manageable. Visible hair reduction typically begins after the initial session, with optimal results generally achieved after approximately 6 to 10 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. The procedure requires no significant downtime, allowing patients to return to their daily activities immediately. Treatment durations vary from 15 minutes for smaller areas to 60 minutes for larger zones.
The laser hair removal service offers multiple benefits, including long-lasting reduction of hair growth, smoother skin with fewer ingrown hairs or razor bumps, and compatibility with various skin types and tones. The technology is most effective on dark, coarse hairs. Some patients may experience temporary redness similar to mild sunburn, but aftercare requirements are minimal. Providers customize laser settings based on individual comfort levels and specific skin or hair characteristics during consultations.
Since the procedure is safest when sun exposure is limited, beginning treatments during fall or winter months is often advisable. The Lewis Center team assists with scheduling and develops personalized treatment plans that typically include 6 to 10 sessions followed by annual maintenance as needed.
