HOW DOES A LASER WORK?
The science behind the laser hair removal is quite straight-forward. During laser hair removal, a laser emits a light that is absorbed by the skin pigment melanin in the hair. The light energy is converted to heat, which damages the tube-shaped sacs within the skin called hair follicles that produce hairs. This damage inhibits or delays future hair growth.
The following picture shows different types of lasers and their penetration depths. We will first analyze your skin type and make a determination on how to apply the laser correctly to address your hair removal.

THE LASER MATTERS
All lasers are not created equal. Many medical spas in our area use antiquated equipment for hair removal and those hurt. In contrast, we have state-of-art equipment the Motus AX with the Moveo® technology (Alexandrite-based technology) that makes the process of eliminating hair painless. We also have 810nm diode laser which can be applied for certain areas if our expert aesthetician think that you will benefit from it.

COST FOR THE TREATMENT
Cost for Laser Hair Removal in Portland falls in a wide range. Some providers use antiquated equipment and provide very cheap deals. Yes, those Groupon deals can result in very bad experience. We do get a number of clients who signed up for Groupon deal and then they come to us. Some are there to use a bait and switch deal and offer a few treatments at a very cheap price and then sell the rest at a higher price. We get a lot of clients at Rivière Med Spa for laser hair removal who have been to one of these places and want to get things done the right way. We don’t have any gimmicks, our prices are fair for the service we provide and expert professionals that deliver the service and care.
Our treatment prices are fair and competitive for the quality we provide. We do offer discounts for packages and our membership also comes with benefits that can be applied to laser hair removal treatment. As a guideline, the bigger the area the more the price of the treatment. Our advice would be to schedule a complimentary consult with our expert aesthetician and decide what is right for you.
We understand that a laser hair removal package for a big body area or multiple areas can add up, for those clients we offer financing via our partner Cherry
QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE
Laser hair removal gets rid of hair by focusing laser energy into the bulb of the hair follicle to stop the growth. You lie down and our aesthetician will glide a laser wand that will deliver the laser. Yes, ours does not hurt – its painless!
Not at Riviére Med Spa! Traditionally laser hair removal has been a relatively painful process resulting in people shying away from the treatment. Many laser companies state that their lasers are painless, however, it seems that those lasers just have superior cooling processes, making the treatment less painful, not painless. Thanks to new technology Riviére Med Spa is able to offer a truly painless laser experience with the MOTUS AX. You will be comfortable from start to finish!
Laser hair removal can have permanent and very long-lasting results. Occasionally, a “touch-up” may be necessary, although it is expected that the hair should never grow back to full volume.
The average number of treatments needed to see a complete reduction of hair is typically 6 sessions spaced 4-10 weeks apart, depending on the area. The best results are observed when the patient commits to staying on the schedule recommended by their practitioner. It is worth noting that 6 treatments are just a general estimate. It is always possible that more treatments will be needed.
With the MOTUS AX, we are able to treat adults with all skin types and tones. The skin of color should always be treated with caution for the safety of the patient, of course. Your practitioner will educate you on the best way to prep the skin for laser hair removal.
While the upfront cost of laser hair removal can seem expensive, when it’s compared to the overall cost of waxing and shaving you’ll find that you can save money and time, in the long run.
Yes, we do offer Brazilian treatment for both men and women and members of our LGBTQ community. We maintain a very professional environment with very high respect for privacy. If there is anything we can do to make you more comfortable, then just ask and we will make it happen.
Absolutely. We welcome our clients who are transitioning and would love to help you in your journey to identify with your true self.
Yes it is. Many of our clients have darker skin – people from India, South-Asia and members of african-american community, our devices can treat all skin-types. . Some times, darker skin may need a few more sessions. It will be best to discuss this with our expert aesthetician.
Laser Hair Removal treatment costs are based on the treatment area and the number of sessions that you are scheduled for. A small touch up can be done around $100 whereas a full body treatment can run in thousands of dollars. We offer financing plans with Cherry for you to manage your cost. When compared with Groupon deals on Laser Hair Removal, it may seem that our prices are higher. But let us share something with you, we see a lot of clients who have gone through on of those Groupon deals and come totally unsatisfied with the results and the treatment. In the end, you get what you pay for – we have the state-of-art brand new equipment and very qualified aestheticians. That is what we offer – “uncompromised experience”.
We primarily use state-of-the-art Alexandrite laser from DEKA with Moveo technology. Additionally, we have a Diode laser that can be used for hair removal. Our expert aesthetician will be able to guide you as to which technology will best suit your needs.
Well, you always get what you pay for. Our focus is to offer you the best service with the latest technology. We don’t cut corners.

I was visiting Portland and wanted to get a Hydrafacial. My friend recommended Rivière and my experience was nothing less than stellar. They are all about customer service - they took such good care of me. The Hydrafacial left me feeling flawlessly clean and glowing. They answered all my questions patiently and also recommended some products for skincare but did not push me to get those. I got 2 of the products and am absolutely loving those!
The location is simply beautiful too! Truly boutique experience! Highly recommend!

I had a facial from here for an acne flair up I've been experiencing for quite some time which had left my skin looking lifeless and overly textured. It went great! My face looks and feels better than it has since my breakout began. Perla (who conducted the facial) was not only gentle and precise, but she was extremely knowledgeable about different skin types and gave me plenty of ideas about potential product options I can try going forward. I'm really pleased and will be going back before the end of the month. Thank you!

I’m a single working mom of a 2.5 yo and taking me time is few and far between. So when I do, I come here. Between hydrafacials, Botox, and my lips they are 100% the people I trust. The girls are just wonderful, professional, kind, and sincere. The club members rewards program reminds me to take ‘me time’ at an excellent price! I couldn’t recommend this place more!

This is such a great med spa. I get hydra facials and microneedling here. The technician is skilled and friendly. It's evident that they care about the client, and their outcome. The front desk receptionist and owner are also really sweet. Communication is easy - I've asked them all sorts of silly questions and they always patiently reply! Booking is also easy, and they have good package deals. I'm glad I found a med spa I can trust.
