Laser hair removal is a safe, permanent way of eliminating unwanted body hair. Treatment sessions are quick and simple.
During treatment, a laser emits a burst of high-energy light that targets and damages the pigment (color) of hair shafts, stopping their regrowth and ultimately stopping further treatments from taking place.
This treatment works well on individuals who have dark hair and light skin as the contrast allows hair follicles to absorb heat more readily and be destroyed more effectively.
Chest
Many men and women looking to remove unwanted chest hair have various options at their disposal, including shaving, waxing and depilatory creams. Unfortunately, these methods often irritate skin and require repeat applications; that is where laser hair removal comes in handy: this scientific FDA-approved procedure destroys individual follicles so they won’t grow hair again in future cycles.
At times during treatment, clients may experience slight discomfort similar to when a rubber band snaps against their skin; this should only last for a momentary period of time. Clients should shave the area being treated several days in advance so that follicles can be targeted without interference from surrounding hair growth; over time clients should experience a gradual reduction in chest hair growth as they continue treatments.
Reaching a hairless chest can be accomplished with multiple laser hair removal treatments spaced four to six weeks apart, typically starting with laser hair removal treatment on the chest area. While not an instantaneous solution, laser hair removal remains one of the most permanent means of eliminating unwanted body hair and alleviating skin conditions associated with growth like folliculitis and discoloration.
Laser hair removal can be applied to virtually all areas of the body, with the exception of eyelids and any tattooed areas. Some smaller areas that often receive treatment include the chin, arms, upper lip and bikini area while larger treatments could cover chest shoulders and areola areas. While laser treatments can be uncomfortable at first, they will yield lasting results!
Underarms
Laser hair removal targets the dark pigment found in hair follicles under the skin, using light energy that penetrates to convert to heat that damages or destroys them in order to stop future hair growth. Due to this process, no surrounding tissues are affected – making laser hair removal an ideal option for the underarm area and combatting sweating which is a common issue among women.
The procedure is painless and comfortable; immediately following treatment you may experience redness or swelling to your underarm skin; however, these effects usually subside quickly. The number of sessions required for permanent results varies based on skin tone and hair color – typically five to ten.
laser hair removal is both more cost- and time-effective than waxing, and less invasive as you won’t experience cuts, nicks or razor burns underarm region.
Laser hair removal provides an alternative to shaving that effectively targets hair roots for permanent removal, leaving behind smooth underarms that are hair free. Furthermore, treatment sessions typically only last 10 minutes or less.
For optimal results, it is crucial that you shave your underarms the day prior to your appointment. In addition, any creams, lotions, or deodorant applied may impede with the laser’s ability to penetrate skin layers and interact with hair follicles. Tanning may make your skin lighter while diminishing any contrast between hair color and skin color – then, be ready to enjoy your smooth hair-free underarms!
Back
Men seeking hair-free backs may find laser hair removal to be an excellent solution. It eliminates the need for shaving, waxing or plucking as well as stubborn hair in hard-to-reach places – while simultaneously preventing razor burn, ingrown hairs and red marks from occurring in hard-to-reach spots – providing an affordable permanent solution against unwanted hair growth.
Laser hair removal is a safe cosmetic treatment suitable for most healthy adults, including both women and men of all skin colors. To maximize results from your laser hair removal session on either your chest or back, tanning or using suntan lotion must be avoided at least six weeks beforehand to reduce hyperpigmentation on your skin which could otherwise interfere with results of laser treatment.
Most patients require multiple laser hair removal sessions over three to four weeks for optimal results, to allow hair follicles in the dormant phase to move into active growth stage and be successfully targeted by laser light. Furthermore, spreading out treatment sessions helps ensure your skin doesn’t become overly sensitive or irritated from too many sessions at once.

Legs
Laser hair removal treatments on legs have become an increasingly popular solution for women. Snipping or waxing to remove unwanted leg hair can be time consuming and often results in ingrown hairs; laser hair removal offers silky-smooth results much faster and safer than these methods of removal.
Underarms (axillae) are another popular area for laser hair removal treatments. Since most people shave their underarms daily, it can be challenging to maintain smooth underarms that do not quickly develop stubble again. Laser hair removal may help delay growth as well as eventually stop it altogether.
Many men suffer from unwanted hair on their chest, arms, back and abdomen. Laser hair removal offers an alternative to shaving or waxing to eliminate unnecessary stubble as well as reduce perspiration odor. Chest and back treatments may require the use of numbing cream for added comfort during laser hair removal sessions.
If you’re considering laser hair removal to get rid of unwanted hair, contact us immediately for a consultation. At EpiLaze Detroit, our three lasers can treat all skin types. With just 5-7 treatments needed for permanent reduction, say goodbye to razors, waxing and plucking forever. For optimal results it is important not to tan or use any sunless skin creams prior to starting laser treatment as this will ensure hair follicles have enough darkness for lasers to work effectively and plucking or waxing should also wait until after treatment has finished before proceeding with plucking or waxing in treated area until complete as this allows maximum laser effects to take effect and is complete for permanent hair reduction in that treated area until after completion of laser treatment has taken place.
Face
Men who are fed up with shaving their face and neck with razors or waxing and want a permanent solution should consider laser hair removal treatment. While shaving may cause skin irritations such as ingrown hairs, laser treatment safely and permanently removes unwanted facial hair without the risk of irritation to surrounding tissues. Laser treatments also make an excellent solution for sensitive skin since laser light targets hair follicles rather than surrounding tissue, providing the safest possible removal method.
Men with dark hair who want to reduce the time they spend shaving or waxing may opt for laser hair removal treatments as a means of speeding up their grooming time. They may also find this procedure effective at eliminating unwanted hair on their neck, chest or arms; ingrown beard hairs on cheeks or beard area can also be eradicated through laser sessions; many find that permanent reduction in hair growth around ears, nose or eyebrows enhances their look.
Laser treatments have become safer, offering an easier alternative to plucking, shaving or waxing for people of all skin colors. A light beam passes over your skin and targets pigment found in hair follicles to absorb light and heat and damage them permanently – although those with darker hair might require multiple sessions before seeing a reduction in hair growth.
After receiving laser hair removal treatments, your skin might feel tender or puffy – similar to when receiving a pinprick or shaving. To reduce discomfort during laser treatments, cold compresses may help soothe discomfort; using topical anesthetics could also provide some relief. It is wise to stay out of direct sunlight as exposure could make results less effective or cause complications with your skin.
