Laser hair removal is back at Michigan Advanced Aesthetics in Royal Oak. If smoother skin is on your list for next year, now is a good moment to begin. Laser hair removal works as a series spread over several months, and starting in fall lines that timeline up with the season when most of us spend less time in the sun.

Laser Hair Removal Is Back at Michigan Advanced Aesthetics

Our laser hair removal treatments use the LightSheer QUATTRO by Lumenis, a diode laser system with four handpieces. Your provider selects the handpiece based on your skin tone and hair characteristics, so treatment can be customized for different skin tones, hair types and treatment areas, from smaller, delicate areas to larger areas such as the back and legs.

Why Timing Matters: Laser Hair Removal Is a Series

Laser hair removal is not a one-visit treatment. A series is needed for optimal hair reduction, and every new treatment area begins with six treatments. Sessions are generally spaced four to eight weeks apart, depending on the area being treated.

That means a full series for one area usually spans roughly five to nine months from first session to last. Start this fall, and you can be finishing your series by spring or summer, depending on the spacing your provider recommends for your area.

Why Fall Works Well for Laser Hair Removal

Sun avoidance is easier. You should avoid tanning and unnecessary sun exposure both before and after treatment, and apply broad-spectrum sunscreen to treated areas that are exposed to the sun. In Michigan, fall and winter bring shorter days and more layers, which makes those guidelines easier for many people to follow than in July.

Fewer conflicts with summer plans. Aftercare asks you to avoid excessive heat, hot tubs and strenuous exercise for a period after each session. Those limits tend to be easier to work around during the cooler months than in peak pool and vacation season.

Your progress builds before warm weather returns. Because results come gradually over the series, starting now gives your treatments time to work before shorts and swimsuit season.

What a Session Feels Like

The LightSheer QUATTRO uses cooling and vacuum-assisted technology to help improve comfort during treatment. You may feel warmth, light pressure or a brief snapping sensation, and comfort varies depending on the treatment area and your individual sensitivity.

Afterward, temporary redness, warmth or mild swelling around the hair follicles is normal and typically subsides within several hours. You can typically return to your regular activities right away.

Planning Your Series With the MAA Smooth Series

Our MAA Smooth Series program offers both single-session and series pricing. If you need more sessions on an area you have already treated, you can add them individually at the series rate. Financing options can also help spread out the cost.

Your journey starts with a consultation, where your provider reviews detailed pre- and post-treatment instructions with you.

Laser Hair Removal FAQs

How many laser hair removal sessions will I need? Every new treatment area begins with six treatments, spaced four to eight weeks apart. Individual results and the number of treatments needed will vary.

Is laser hair removal permanent? Laser hair removal provides a gradual reduction in hair growth and density over your series. Results vary from person to person, and your provider can discuss what to expect for your hair and skin type.

Can I start if I have a tan? Avoid tanning and unnecessary sun exposure before treatment. If you have recently tanned, let us know when you book so your provider can advise on timing.
