Laser hair removal with Venus Versa is a treatment that uses Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) with SmartPulse™ technology to target and reduce unwanted hair. It’s not technically a laser—it’s an advanced IPL system—but it works in a similar way to destroy hair follicles and prevent regrowth. Venus Versa is a medical aesthetic device that is FDA-cleared!
Since it is a permanent solution to unwanted hair, laser removal could save you money in the
long run, as the average person spends $30,000 and 1400 hours over their lifetime on shaving
and waxing.
HOW IT WORK
Laser hair removal does not just disintegrate the hair outside the skin or cause the existing hair to fall out, rather it destroys the hair at the root and renders the hair follicle inactive. Hair has three phases of growth but is only affected by laser light when it is in the anagen, or active growth phase. That is because hair follicles in the active growth phase have the most melanin, and it is the melanin that attracts energy from the laser.

COMMON QUESTIONS
The best candidate is someone who has unwanted hair on their face or body, and who wants to reduce hair growth in a particular area. For safety reasons, you may not be able to get this treatment if you have/are:
- Metal or other implants in the treatment area
- Current or history of cancer
- Pregnant or nursing
- History of skin disorders, keloids, unusual wound healing, or excessively dry and/or sensitive skin
- Any surgical procedures within the past 3 months
- A tattoo or permanent makeup in the treatment area
- Excessively tanned skin
Most patients receive 6-10 treatments per area. The exact number will depend on each individual person and the area being treated.
Treatments are done 4-6 weeks apart for the face and 4-8 weeks apart for the body.
Make sure your skin is clean. Do not apply lotions, creams, or makeup before your session, and stop using any products that might irritate your skin 2-3 days before. You should also avoid
tanning. Depending on where you’re getting treatment, you may be advised to shave the area on the day of your treatment. Remove all jewelry around the area being treated.
The applicator is equipped with a built-in cooling feature to maximize your comfort during the treatment, It feels like a light snap with an elastic band against your skin, or like if someone lightly flicked you, as the applicator moves around the treatment area. However, in case you’re
treating a sensitive area such as the bikini line, you may experience slight discomfort. If the discomfort becomes too much, please inform the operator, who can then adjust the treatment to suit your needs.
It really depends on how your hair grows. Some people may see permanent hair removal from 85%- 95%, while others see sporadic hair growth and may need touch-up treatments to maintain the results.
Avoid tanning for at least 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after your treatment and wear sunscreen. You should also avoid hot baths, massages, or any treatment that requires direct contact with the skin for the first 2 days after your treatment.
