Laser hair removal is a safe, noninvasive way to permanently reduce unwanted hair. Unlike shaving or waxing, which temporarily disable the follicles that produce new hair growth, laser treatment destroys them permanently preventing further hair growth.
In order to properly prepare for your treatment, it’s best to avoid plucking or waxing any area three weeks prior. Furthermore, on the day of your session it’s advisable to use a fresh razor when shaving this region.
1. Permanent Results
Laser hair removal offers one primary advantage – permanent reduction of unwanted hair+. Unlike shaving or waxing, which only remove the surface hairs, laser treatments target their roots directly; as a result, when your new growth does return it will appear thinner and sparser, saving both time and money in maintenance costs over time.
Laser treatments can be used to safely and effectively eliminate unwanted hair on almost any part of the body, such as legs, armspits, bikini line, chin and more. For optimal results it’s essential that certain pretreatments be followed; such as refraining from tweezing, plucking and waxing for several weeks prior to scheduling an appointment and shaving with a new razor before your session begins. Furthermore, perfumes or lotions applied directly can impede laser’s ability to target hair follicles effectively.
Dark skin poses unique challenges when it comes to laser hair removal due to its higher concentration of melanin, which can result in burning and blistering during treatment. However, technological advancements continue to make laser hair removal more accessible across skin tones.
Your laser hair specialist will select an energy level appropriate to your skin type and tone before conducting a test spot on the surface of your skin. Once it has been confirmed that it works well with this energy level, treatments typically last 15-120 minutes depending on its size – multiple sessions may be necessary in order to see results.
2. No Pain
Laser hair removal can be much less painful than waxing or shaving – plus, you won’t have to deal with razor burn!
Laser energy penetrates into hair follicles to destroy them and stop new hair from growing – eliminating waxing and shaving which only remove the shafts with short-lived results that won’t last very long.
Treatment sessions will last between 15 minutes to one hour depending on the area being addressed. Our team will apply protective gel to the targeted area prior to beginning their treatments; once complete, a specialist will test a spot on your skin to ensure its compatibility with their chosen energy level before initiating their session.
Some areas may need multiple treatment sessions; after finishing your schedule you should see permanent hair reduction+. Your specialist can tell you exactly how many sessions are recommended to achieve the results that you desire.
Laser treatment stands out from the crowd because it can be applied on almost any part of the body – including legs, chest, arms and back.
Some hair growth may still occur post-laser treatment; however, the new growth is typically finer and lighter in color due to changes in your growth cycle or simply being dormant at the time of your treatment.

3. Less Expensive Than Waxing or Shaving
Laser hair removal can be a cost-effective alternative to waxing or shaving. Over time, the costs associated with maintaining either routine can add up considerably – one reason more men and women are opting for permanent laser hair reduction as opposed to conventional methods of hair removal.
Laser treatments use intense light beams to use laser light as a weapon against unwanted hair growth, leaving behind silky-smooth skin with lasting, touchable smoothness.
Laser hair removal procedures are safe, quick, and relatively painless. Once applied to your skin, a protective gel will be applied before performing a test treatment spot to assess your comfort and how your skin reacts. Once this test spot has cleared up, your specialist will begin treating; depending on which part of your body it treats, sessions typically last anywhere between 15 minutes to an hour.
Once your treatment is over, a cool compress will be applied for several minutes to ease any lingering redness or swelling that may have appeared – this should fade quickly as soon as it subsides.
Neighborhood Wellness Clinic and Medical Spa’s laser system utilizes innovative light technology to safely reduce unwanted hair+. Most individuals with dark-colored locks may qualify for laser hair removal; however, those with white, silver, or blonde locks cannot take this route due to a lack of pigment required by laser light technology to damage hair follicles effectively.
4. No Downtime
Are You Tired of Shaving, Waxing and/or Plucking Unwanted Hair?+ Laser hair removal may be your perfect permanent solution+! At Neighborhood Wellness Clinic and Medical Spa in Schertz Texas we use FDA approved XEO and ICON laser technology to permanently reduce live hair follicles to make unwanted hair growth a thing of the past.
Before your laser hair removal treatment session begins, your practitioner will apply topical anesthetic to reduce discomfort. Next, the laser device will deliver short bursts of light energy aimed at dark pigment of hair follicles to destroy them permanently and ensure no further growth of hair follicles can sprout back up again. While you relax during your session using Gentle Pro Dynamic Cooling Device’s soothing sounds – further minimising any sensation from laser sessions.
Your results should become immediately noticeable as soon as your hair follicles start to shrink and die, with many clients experiencing noticeable reduction after just one treatment session; however, multiple sessions spaced about 4 weeks apart are typically required for optimal results.
Before scheduling a laser hair removal session, to best prepare, it is advisable to refrain from any non-laser solutions such as tweezing, plucking and waxing for at least 3-4 weeks prior to your scheduled session. In addition to avoiding tanning lotions that increase skin sensitivity to laser light exposure and sun exposure altogether. It is also essential that on the day of treatment, your face will need to be freshly shaven as this increases efficacy of treatment and will ensure best results.
5. Fast
Laser hair removal is an efficient, non-invasive alternative to waxing and shaving, taking only approximately an hour per session, depending on the size of the area being treated. By targeting live follicles directly, laser treatments reduce their number so that any new growth back into this area will be much thinner and sparser; meaning you can extend time between treatments without fear of ingrown hairs reemerging.
Laser hair removal can be used on nearly any area of the body that’s bothered by unwanted hair, such as arms, back, chest, stomach and breasts. It is an ideal solution for women wanting to wear bikinis without covering up with thongs and for men looking to avoid stubble caused by razors.
