Hair Removal Services
Have you ever been bothered by unwanted hair on your face and body? Are you tired of endless shaving and waxing and only see it come back in a few days? In some cases there are even more unpleasant with ingrown hairs and red bump around the hair follicles. If you are looking for more permanent solution to these problems, Huang Aesthetics and Wellness Center is offering what you exactly need. The light-based technology ensures reduction of future hair growth in the area thus resulting in smoother, hair-free skin after a few sessions.
How do Hair Removal Treatments work?
We use Venus Versa™, a new generation Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology to get rid of unwanted hair on the face and body. The pulses of highly concentrated light are emitted from the source into the hair follicles. The pigment in the follicles absorbs the light and that light-based energy destroys the hair follicles under the skin’s surface, which stops it from growing. The large spot size allows for faster and more effective treatments.
It can treat all body parts, including underarms, face, legs, back and bikini area. Patients who are good candidates for the procedure report permanent hair loss after an average of four to six quick sessions. The exact number of treatment needed will depend on each individual person and the area being treated.

Who are the best hair removal candidates?
The best candidate for hair removal treatment is someone who has unwanted hair on their face or body, and who wants to reduce hair growth in a particular area.
Venus Versa™ hair removal treatments work best for light to medium skin tones. The treatment may work on darker skin, but there is a higher risk of discoloration because darker skin has more pigment in it. It’s best to consult with the provider to see if the treatment is right for you. We will perform a test spot and wait between 15 minutes to 48 hours, depending on your skin tone, to assess your reaction to the light.
These treatment sessions are fairly quick due to highly efficient technology it utilized. You may be able to complete the treatment during your lunch break, depending on what part of the body you’re getting treated. If it’s a smaller area, it may only take as little as 15 minutes. A larger area, like two full legs, may take up to 60 minutes.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Before the Treatment:
1. How often/far apart should the treatments be?
Treatments are done 4-6 weeks apart for the face and 4-8 weeks apart for the body.
2. Do I need to do anything to prepare for the treatment?
Make sure your skin is clean. Do not apply any 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 a treatment, you will be advised to shave the area on the day of your treatment. Remove all jewelry around the area being treated.
During the Treatment
1. How long does a treatment session last?
It depends on what part of the body you’re covering—an upper lip will be much faster than both legs.
2. What does the treatment feel like?
It feels like a really light snap with an elastic band against your skin, or like if someone lightly flicked you, as the applicator moves around the treatment area.
3. Will it be painful?
The applicator has a cooling feature built into it to make the treatment as comfortable as possible, but you might feel a bit of discomfort if you’re treating a more sensitive area, like along the bikini line. If you find it too uncomfortable, let the operator know and they can adjust the treatment accordingly.
After the Treatment
1. How will I feel after my treatment?
If anything, your skin may look dry and feel a little itchy due to dryness. The area may be slightly red which usually resolves fairly quickly. Moisturizing can help relieve the itch. Other than that, you shouldn’t really feel any different after your treatment.
2. How long will the results last and are they permanent?
It really depends on how your hair grows. Some people may see permanent hair removal, while others who see sporadic hair growth in the area may need touch-up treatments to maintain the results.
3. Is there any downtime?
There is no downtime. You can return to your daily schedule immediately after your treatment.
4. Do I need to do anything after my treatment?
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.
5. If I got a treatment on my face, can I put makeup up on right after?
Yes, you can apply makeup immediately after your treatment, but make sure you put on sunscreen first.
