Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal can remove unwanted hair faster and more effectively than traditional methods. Below are answers to some of the most common patient questions.

How does it work?

To eliminate hair, the laser emits gentle pulses of energy that pass through the skin to the hair follicle. This energy is then absorbed into the hair follicle to weaken it's regrowth. Following several sessions of laser treatment the hair follicle miniaturizes and thus it is unlikely that hair will grow again.

Am I a viable candidate for laser hair removal?

Laser hair removal can be applied to all areas of the body and on all types of skin (even tanned or dark skin).

Does it hurt?

The laser treatment causes only minimal discomfort. Patients often say it feels similar to the snap of a rubber band. Slight redness or localized swelling can occur, but this usually subsides within the first 48 hours after treatment.

How many laser hair treatments are required?

Typically patients will see results in 4 - 6 treatments, though this number will vary based upon skin tone, hair color and several other factors. Your doctor or practitioner will talk to you about variables that may affect your individual results.
