Hair Removal

Say goodbye to shaving and plucking with permanent hair removal at Essentia. You’ll feel little or no discomfort as a trained member of our team uses advanced laser technology to target your follicles and stop future hair growth. You may need multiple treatments for desired results.

How to Prepare

Ask your provider how to get ready for your procedure. Follow his or her instructions to support the best possible results. You may be asked to:

• Avoid exposure to the sun
• Stop waxing or plucking the area to be treated six weeks before treatment

Waxing is a temporary method of hair removal that takes the hair out from its root. Rely on our estheticians to use the latest techniques for a virtually pain-free waxing experience. Ask about waxing services for your:

• Lip
• Eyebrows

Expect hair to grow back in two to eight weeks. The new growth will be soft and fine, not sharp and coarse like hair after shaving. If you have repeat waxing treatments, hair regrowth is less common. Eventually, some hair may never regrow.

How to Prepare

Ask your provider how to get ready for your treatment. Follow his or her instructions to get the best results. Preparation varies depending on the area being waxed—you may need to:

• Let hair grow for two to three weeks before waxing
• Avoid lotions, creams, or other products the day of your treatment

Tell your provider about any allergies or health conditions you have, and if you take any medications.

What to Expect

In a private room, your provider will clean the waxing area. Warm wax will be spread onto your skin. After the wax is cool, your provider will remove it in the opposite direction of your hair growth. Ask your provider how to care for your skin after your treatment.

The cost for hair removal depends on the size of the area and the number and type of treatments. Talk to our staff for more information.
