FAQ: Laser Hair Removal at The Glow Lab

What makes Aerolase safer than other lasers?

Unlike traditional hair removal lasers that use high-heat or require contact with the skin, Aerolase uses a gentle 1064nm wavelength in a contact-free method. This reduces the risk of burns, pigment changes, or post-inflammatory irritation—especially for sensitive skin and darker Fitzpatrick types.

Is this safe for all skin tones?

Yes. Aerolase is FDA-cleared and clinically proven safe for all skin types, including Fitzpatrick IV–VI. It targets the hair follicle while preserving the surrounding skin, making it ideal for clients with deeper melanin.

How many sessions will I need?

Most clients need 6–8 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Hair grows in cycles, so consistent appointments are key to targeting each follicle at the right phase.

Does it hurt?

Most clients describe it as heat from a hair dryer heat—quick, tolerable, and much more comfortable than waxing or traditional lasers. Aerolase doesn’t use numbing cream or messy gel, so treatments are fast, clean, and efficient.

Can this help with ingrown hairs or folliculitis?

Absolutely. Aerolase helps reduce ingrown hairs, bumps, and inflammation caused by shaving or waxing. It’s a top choice for clients struggling with recurring folliculitis, especially in areas like the bikini line or underarms.

Is there downtime after treatment?

None. You may experience minor redness or warmth for a few hours, but you can return to work, gym, or social plans immediately.

How do I know if I’m a candidate?

We recommend booking a skin consultation to ensure your skin and hair type are a match. Most clients are great candidates—and we’ll walk you through a customized treatment plan based on your goals and history.
