Book Your Laser ConsultationHow Laser Hair Removal Works
Laser hair removal uses concentrated light energy to target the melanin (pigment) inside hair follicles. When the laser energy is absorbed, it heats and disables the follicle, preventing future hair growth. At Aera Medical Aesthetics in St. George, Utah, we use advanced laser technology that delivers precise energy pulses while protecting the surrounding skin.
Because hair grows in cycles — active growth (anagen), transition (catagen), and rest (telogen) — multiple sessions are needed to catch each follicle during its active growth phase. This is why a series of 6 to 8 treatments, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, delivers the best results for permanent hair reduction.
Janessa Kraupp-Sampson, MSN, FNP-BC — a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner with a clinical background in dermatologic conditions — personally performs and calibrates every laser hair removal session. She also trains other nurses in injectables and laser care through a 90-day program. Provider experience matters more than the platform: settings are optimized for your unique skin tone, hair color, and treatment area, which is what keeps results strong and side effects minimal across the full Fitzpatrick scale.

Safe for All Skin Types
One of the most common concerns about laser hair removal is whether it works on darker skin tones. At Aera Medical Aesthetics in St. George, Utah, we are proud to offer technology that is safe and effective across the full Fitzpatrick skin type scale — from the fairest to the deepest skin tones.
The key to safe laser hair removal on all skin types is using the right wavelength and energy settings.

This individualized approach minimizes risk and maximizes results, regardless of your skin color.
