About Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal can address unwanted hair growth in different areas. This minimally invasive treatment uses concentrated beams of light to target the root of your hair.

Laser hair removal utilizes a process called “selective photothermolysis,” where the laser energy targets specific areas, leaving the surrounding tissues undamaged. (1) During each laser hair removal session, the laser device emits specific wavelengths of laser energy to the treatment area. The pigment in your hair absorbs the energy and converts it to heat energy. This damages the follicle of the hair itself, preventing any future growth from occurring. Our specialists can perform this treatment on most areas of your body, including your:

  • Legs
  • Arms
  • Bikini Area
  • Chest
  • Back
  • Chin
  • Shoulders
  • Stomach
  • Neck

Benefits

There are several benefits associated with laser hair removal, such as:

  • Comprehensive Hair Reduction: Laser hair removal targets the root of the hair to prevent new, unwanted hair growth.
  • Long-Term Results: Laser hair removal offers long-lasting results, especially when compared to traditional methods like waxing and shaving.
  • Versatile Treatment Areas: Your specialist can perform this treatment on several parts of the body, such as the arms, legs, bikini area, back, and more.
  • Customized Treatment Plan: Our team of specialists designs each treatment plan around each individual’s anatomy and goals, creating tailored results that align with their personal expectations.
  • Reduced Irritation: Laser hair removal can reduce the number of ingrown hairs and razor bumps patients experience.

Candidates

Laser hair removal is a safe and effective procedure for a wide range of skin tones and types, making most patients eligible to receive this treatment. (2) This treatment is ideal for anyone interested in removing unwanted hair growth from around their body. Those who frequently experience ingrown hairs, razor bumps, or irritation when shaving or waxing may also benefit greatly from laser hair removal.

Anyone interested in this treatment should be in good general health without any underlying medical conditions. Patients should also hold realistic expectations regarding the results of their procedure. Our team of specialists will finalize each individual’s candidacy during their consultation.

Personal Consultation

During your consultation, your specialist will meet with you individually to confirm your candidacy and create your treatment plan. They will discuss your medical history, concerns, and treatment goals with you. They will also perform a physical evaluation to assess your desired treatment areas.

After gathering the necessary information, your specialist will create your treatment plan. They will recommend the most suitable laser setting for your case, and they may suggest pairing your procedure with additional treatments, depending on your personal and aesthetic goals. Throughout your consultation, they will also take the time to address any questions or concerns you may have. By the time you leave this meeting, you will have a full understanding of how laser hair removal works and how it can help you achieve smoothness.

Preparation

Once you schedule your first treatment session, your specialist will give you a set of detailed preparation instructions. They may instruct you to:

  • Avoid waxing or plucking hair in the treatment area.
  • Refrain from excessive or direct sun exposure, as well as tanning or tanning products.
  • Shave the treatment area the day before your procedure as instructed.

Preparation is an essential step in each treatment, no matter how significant or subtle your results are. Following these instructions helps maximize your results and ensures the best possible outcome.

Procedure

On the day of your appointment, a member of our team will lead you to a private treatment room where they will cleanse and sanitize your skin. They will apply a topical anesthetic to ensure your comfort throughout your treatment and provide you with protective eyewear.

Your specialist will then pass a handheld device over the entirety of the treatment area. The device will emit pulses of laser energy, which are absorbed by the pigment in your hair. As your hair absorbs the laser energy, it is converted to heat energy. The heat then damages and destroys your hair follicle, preventing any future growth from occurring. Your specialist will repeat this motion until they address the entire treatment area.

The duration of your appointment will vary depending on the size of the treatment area, with most patients benefitting from a series of regular treatments.

Recovery

After your treatment, it is common to experience some swelling, bruising, or tenderness around the treated areas. These effects will subside on their own within several days, but you may also manage them using a cold compress. Your specialist will provide you with additional recovery instructions in person.

Results

You may notice a significant reduction in unwanted hair growth after just a single treatment session; however, most patients achieve their ideal results after undergoing a series of regular treatments. This is because the treatment is only effective during the growth phase of the hair cycle, making it necessary to undergo multiple treatment sessions.

The results of laser hair removal are long-lasting, allowing you to enjoy smooth, hairless skin that is free from any razor bumps or ingrown hairs.

FAQ

How many laser hair removal sessions will I need?

The number of treatment sessions you receive will vary depending on the thickness and color of your hair. Most patients end up receiving anywhere between four and eight treatments spaced apart. In any case, multiple sessions are necessary, as the hairs grow in different cycles.

Will my laser hair removal treatment hurt?

Most patients describe their treatment as a rubber band snapping or a warm stinging, but this may vary depending on your personal pain tolerance. To enhance your experience, your specialist may apply a topical anesthetic to the treatment area before starting your treatment.

Can I undergo laser hair removal if I have darker skin?

Yes, laser hair removal is safe for all skin tones and types. Your specialist will adjust the settings of your laser to ensure the treatment is suitable for your specific skin tone and hair type.

Will laser hair removal help me address ingrown hairs?

Yes, laser hair removal is highly beneficial for anyone struggling with ingrown hairs, recurring irritation, or razor bumps. Because this treatment targets the hair follicles, it reduces the thickness and density of your hair. This makes it less likely for any hair to curl back into the skin.

Can I combine my laser hair removal treatment with another?

Yes, your specialist may combine your treatment with another for more comprehensive results. For further information and personalized recommendations, please schedule a consultation online.

Is laser hair removal permanent?

Laser hair removal is considered to be permanent hair reduction—this is because it doesn’t technically remove all the hairs permanently. However, the result is much less hair growth, making hair removal much easier to manage.

How should I prepare for laser hair removal?

Your specialist will let you know what you can do to prepare for laser hair removal—steps often include shaving the area 24 hours before your appointment to ensure optimal length for the laser approach, as well as avoiding using any products on the skin.

Are there side effects of laser hair removal?

There are some side effects that patients can experience after laser hair removal, including redness, tenderness, and minor irritation. These side effects typically resolve very quickly on their own. Patients can take over-the-counter medication and use a cold compress to improve discomfort from the treatment.
