Many men and women prefer a hairless look that allows them to show off their body.
At Revive Medical Aesthetics in Longview, Washington, you can reduce your body hair permanently with laser hair
removal or remove your hair at the root with face and body waxing.
To explore hair removal options and try something other than shaving every few days, call Revive Medical
Aesthetics or reserve an appointment online today.
How does hair removal work?
If you prefer to have hairless skin, there are several different ways to remove the hair from your body.
Shaving and plucking are two ways to do it at home, but you might find yourself missing patches, getting razor
burn, or getting tired of the constant maintenance.
As a solution to these inconveniences, Revive Medical Aesthetics offers several hair removal options.
Less maintenance
Laser hair removal and waxing offer alternatives to shaving every few days.
Hair removal options at Revive Medical Aesthetics
Waxing
Waxing pulls out your body hair and the roots of the hair for longer-lasting results than shaving, which
cuts the hair off and keeps the root in place.
Before a wax, your face or body hair should be about half an inch long.
Moveo® laser hair removal
Moveo is an advanced, in-motion Alexandrite and Nd:YAG laser delivery system that glides directly on your
skin, using a cooling sapphire tip to disable your active hair follicles with heat — virtually pain-free,
with no numbing agents or cryogen required. Because different follicles are in different stages of growth,
you need several sessions to disable all of the follicles in your treatment area.
Moveo is designed to work comfortably and effectively across all skin tones, from light to dark.
Elite iQ® laser hair removal
Elite iQ is a dual-wavelength laser (755nm Alexandrite and 1064nm Nd:YAG) that specializes in removing
darker, pigmented hair. It features the Skintel® Melanin Reader, the industry’s first FDA-cleared melanin
reader, which objectively measures your skin to help your provider choose the safest, most effective
settings for you.
The heat from the laser disables the active follicles, and you need several sessions to affect all of the
follicles in your treatment area.
Remove hair from the areas you normally shave, pluck, or don’t bother to reach at home.
From which areas of my body can I remove the hair?

home with waxing or laser hair removal.

microblading.

How many treatments do I need for laser hair removal?
Several initial sessions
You need several initial sessions with both Moveo and Elite iQ laser hair removal.
Moveo
Most patients need between three and six treatments with Moveo to see a major difference in body hair
growth.
Elite iQ
Most patients need between five and seven treatments with Elite iQ to see a major difference in body hair
growth.
Long-lasting hair removal with state-of-the-art options.
About one year after your first rounds of laser hair removal, you may need a follow-up treatment.
The results of laser hair removal are different for everyone: You might see a complete, permanent removal of
your body hair or a notable reduction that needs maintenance.
However, you must refrain from waxing or plucking between laser hair removal sessions so that the laser can
target the pigment in your hair.
