Laser Hair Removal has become an increasingly popular solution to reduce unwanted body hair, helping patients skip shaving, waxing and plucking altogether.
Your laser specialist will administer a cooling gel or topical anesthetic prior to initiating the procedure, before using a laser beam on any unwanted hair in your desired areas of skin to eliminate them.
Areas of the Body
Unsightly body hair can make us feel awkward, self-conscious, or downright uncomfortable – but that doesn’t have to be the case! Laser hair removal offers a quick and painless solution for unwanted body hair that reduces by up to 80% or more – often requested on arms, legs, bikini line, underarms, chin, back chest or other parts.
Though some medical issues and conditions can prevent laser hair removal from working for everyone, most individuals seeking to get rid of unwanted body hair should qualify as candidates. Light skin and dark hair typically offer better results as their difference in melanin pigment allows the laser light to penetrate more effectively and destroy hair follicles than with darker or tanned skin tones; but those of all tones still receive great results from laser treatments.
Like shaving and waxing, which can often be painful in sensitive areas, laser hair removal is generally pain-free when performed by an experienced medical provider. Your treatment session will begin by being provided a topical anesthetic to minimize any discomfort during treatment.
Once the treatment has concluded, your doctor will recommend applying cold packs to reduce swelling in the treated area. They may also give you sunscreen to use as aftercare for sun protection purposes. In between laser hair removal sessions, it is important not to shave, wax or pluck as this could compromise results and compromise results.
After receiving laser hair removal treatments, it is normal to experience some regrowth of hair; however, it should be much finer and lighter than what was removed initially. Multiple sessions will likely be necessary to achieve your desired results, since laser treatments only target hairs during their active growth phase; different areas of the body have differing rates of growth.
Type of Hair
Laser hair removal is an FDA-approved procedure that can effectively reduce unwanted hair growth on virtually all areas of the body, and one of only a handful of cosmetic treatments suitable for dark-skinned individuals.
During treatment, protective eyewear will shield you from the laser’s light. A topical anesthetic may be administered to alleviate any discomfort experienced; however, most patients tolerate their treatment without experiencing any issues. You can resume normal activities immediately following your session; however, be careful not to scrub or use razor on any area treated; aloe vera gel or another soothing agent can be applied afterward in order to soothe skin post-session, and sun exposure should be avoided whenever possible.
Laser light pulses administered during your sessions target melanin pigment found in hair and skin cells, so those with darker hair tend to achieve results similar to lighter-skinned individuals. Furthermore, melanin helps absorb more of the laser’s energy than its lighter counterpart.
As much as people may perceive laser hair removal to be permanent, it should be remembered that multiple sessions of laser hair removal may be necessary for optimal results.

Number of Treatments
The number of laser treatments needed to reach ideal results will differ for every person; it depends on your hair color and texture as well as how rapidly your body produces new hair growth. Results typically take 4-6 treatments or more; some areas like legs and backs respond faster. Intense treatments initially are likely more discomfortsome before discomfort gradually decreases with each passing hair follicle being destroyed.
Contact multiple providers in your area for price quotes and make sure the provider is medically licensed, as some states only permit doctors, nurses and PAs to perform laser hair removal treatments. Cosmetic procedures generally aren’t covered by insurance while reconstructive ones might be.
Laser hair removal offers several advantages over non-permanent methods for removing unwanted hair, such as shaving, waxing or depilation. It is safe for all skin types including darker complexions. Lasers offer greater precision compared to traditional methods; you can target individual follicles more accurately while still enjoying convenience when compared with waxing which often takes more time and shaving which may cause pain.
Recent technological advances have rendered laser hair removal safe and effective for most individuals, providing an ideal alternative for men and women looking for permanent hair removal without shaving, waxing or plucking. Laser is also safer than other permanent methods like electrolysis.
Many patients find the treatment sessions worth their while; their cost per session being much less than the total costs associated with purchasing razors and waxing products over time.
Signing up for multiple sessions of laser hair removal at once may save money, with many clinics offering discounted bundles at discounted rates – and offering financing options as an added incentive!
Financing Options

While you may experience some swelling following treatment, cooling gel or cold packs will often be provided to reduce inflammation afterward.
