Men and women suffering from excessive hair growth can find relief through laser therapy. It can remove unwanted hair from both their face and body without waxing or plucking, providing a less-invasive alternative.
This cosmetic treatment targets pigment of hair follicles during their growth phase to temporarily stop hair growth cycle and achieve permanent hair reduction. Most patients require between four to six treatments; when hairs do regrow they tend to be finer and lighter colored.
Face
Laser treatments offer an effective means of eliminating facial hair. You can use laser treatments on any area where there is excess hair growth – including your chin, earlobes and jawline. Plus, this procedure uses intense bursts of light that absorbs into melanin pigmented hair follicles while leaving surrounding skin undamaged – leaving facial hair reduced almost unnoticeably!
Laser hair removal may be more painful than traditional methods like shaving, but it provides long-term solutions to unwanted hair growth. Shaving only removes surface hairs while leaving root hairs intact for growth – something laser hair removal targets to give permanent solutions to unwanted hair growth.
Preparing for laser hair removal requires that you stop shaving and plucking at least six weeks prior to your session. In addition, any sunless skin creams that darken skin tone as well as blood-thinners such as aspirin or anti-inflammatory drugs should also be avoided. Trim any above skin hair but wait to shave until arriving at your session session.
Bikini Area
Laser hair removal offers the ideal solution to remove stubborn pubic hair permanently for a beautiful and smooth bikini line.
Though it may feel uncomfortable at first, the sensation is no worse than rubber band snapping against your skin for a fraction of a second. Once the laser heat destroys the root of the hair, it won’t come back, leaving behind smooth and hair-free skin.
There are various bikini area laser treatments available, depending on your preferences. A standard bikini line treatment covers up to three inches from your panty line for an ideal look with swimsuit bottoms. French or Brazilian styles leave behind either a small triangle of hair commonly known as a landing strip; or can completely bare the area, depending on personal choice.
A full Brazilian is an extensive laser hair removal treatment designed for bikini areas that covers more than just the typical bikini line, such as front of labia and inner buttocks. Some individuals choose even further with Super Brazilians, which remove all leg and lower back hair as well. Both treatments are great options for women and men; our team can help you decide what will work best.
Underarms
Underarm hair removal via laser treatment is an excellent solution, quick and painless. Most patients describe the sensation as similar to being hit by a rubber band followed by a cooling sensation.
An effective way to ascertain whether laser hair removal is the appropriate treatment option for you underarm area is by consulting with a professional and attending a consultation session. Here you can discuss results, possible side effects and ask any pertinent questions about the process itself.
At the actual treatment stage, a professional will place a handheld device against your underarms that emits light which converts into heat by melanin found in your hair follicles, damaging their structure and stopping them from producing new hair growth. Over time, treated hair begins to fall out, becoming finer and lighter colored in tone than before treatment began.
For optimal results, it’s necessary to undergo multiple underarm treatments at different intervals. These sessions should give your skin the time it needs to heal between sessions while also making sure all hair follicles are at an ideal stage in their growth cycle prior to treatment. Be sure to shave armpit areas two or three days before each appointment, and avoid waxing, plucking and other hair removal methods on this area of treatment.
Legs
Unwanted leg hair can be an enormously frustrating problem. Shaving is often messy and uncomfortable, while waxing often leads to ingrown hairs and nicks. For those searching for a long-term solution for their leg hair needs, laser hair removal treatments offer relief by sending light energy directly into each individual hair follicle to destroy its growth potential and prevent future growth of new strands of hair from emerging.

Chest
Chest hair can be an inconvenience for men as it quickly grows back, often making wearing shirts uncomfortable and leading to painful ingrown hairs that require removal with razor blades – sometimes leading to scabs as a result! Laser hair removal treatments offer another solution by permanently decreasing how much chest hair grows back, creating a sleek, bare appearance.
Before beginning laser hair removal treatments on your chest area, it’s a good idea to shave it first as this will allow the laser heat to effectively target each individual follicle root. Furthermore, tanning beds or self-tanners should also be avoided in order to provide effective results from treatment sessions. Lastly, inform anyone performing the treatments if you have had previous issues with skin issues or are taking medications which might make your skin more sensitive to light.
Laser hair removal treatments involve applying a cream to protect the skin from the intense heat generated by the laser and then sitting back and relaxing while it works its magic. Most patients report that laser hair removal doesn’t hurt as much as they anticipated; many describe it as feeling small stings while doing its work.
Back
If your back hair growth makes wearing shorts or swimwear difficult, laser hair removal may provide long-term solutions. Most patients require two to six treatments over the course of several months before experiencing no more new growth on treated areas; any regrowth usually takes the form of thinner and lighter hued strands than before.
At your consultation, we will review your medical history, examine the area of unwanted hair growth and ascertain whether laser treatment would be an appropriate treatment option for you. It is crucial that you choose a provider with extensive experience with lasers who understands both your skin type and experience with laser hair removal procedures; if considering spa or salon services as options for laser hair removal treatments make sure their doctor overseeing these sessions is board certified in dermatology.
Preparing for laser hair removal requires you to avoid plucking, waxing or using depilatory creams on the area in which you will be having treatment. Instead, shave it before your appointment so that the laser has a target to hit. A topical anesthetic may be applied; most people do not require it. Following treatment, aftercare instructions include keeping out of sunlight and wearing broad spectrum sunscreen daily after sun exposure as some areas may experience redness and swelling similar to sunburn; such reactions usually subside within hours after exposure to sun.
