IRMO, SC (WOLO) — Tyler met with Andrea Sarata from Vivid Aesthetics to talk about the benefits of laser hair reduction.

Laser Hair Q & A

“Laser hair reduction is one of the most popular aesthetic treatments—and for good
reason. It can significantly reduce unwanted hair and save people years of shaving or
waxing. The key is using the right technology, the right candidate, and being consistent
with treatments.”
What Is Laser Hair Reduction?
“Laser hair reduction works by targeting the pigment in the hair follicle. The laser energy
heats and damages the follicle so it can no longer grow hair effectively. Over time, that
leads to thinner, lighter hair—or no regrowth at all.”
What Makes Your Technology Different?
“We use the Motus AZ+, which is exciting because it’s safe and effective for all skin
tones, from very fair to very deep. That hasn’t always been the case with older laser
technology.”
Two Treatment Options: Comfort vs. Speed
“One thing patients love is that we can customize the experience:
●Traditional point-and-shoot laser delivers energy in pulses. It’s usually a bit
more spicy, but it tends to be slightly more effective, meaning fewer treatments
overall.
●The slide laser gently glides across the skin and is virtually painless. The
tradeoff is that it typically requires a few more sessions to reach the same level
of hair reduction.
So it really comes down to personal preference—comfort versus speed.”
Who Is a Good Candidate?
“For laser hair reduction to work, the hair needs pigment. The best candidates
have brown, dark red, or black hair. Blonde, gray, or white hair unfortunately won’t

respond because there’s no pigment for the laser to target.”
Why Multiple Treatments Matter
“This is where consistency is key. Hair grows in cycles, and laser only works on hairs in
the active growth phase. That’s why treatments are spaced out and why sticking to the
schedule is so important. Skipping sessions can slow results.”
When Will People See Results?
“Most patients start noticing less regrowth after just a couple of treatments, but true,
long-term reduction happens gradually. With consistent sessions, we can get close
to resolution, meaning very minimal regrowth that’s much finer and easier to manage.”
Closing Takeaway (10–15 seconds)
“Laser hair reduction isn’t a one-and-done treatment—but when it’s done correctly, with
the right technology and consistency, it can be a total game changer.”
