Is Laser Hair Removal Right for You?

The best candidates for LHR have fair skin and dark hair, as this will maximize the effectiveness of the procedure. However, women and men of any skin tone can still achieve beautiful results. Candidates for laser hair removal may be seeking a long-term alternative to their shaving or waxing frustrations or have embarrassing face or body hair.

Laser hair removal can:

• Permanently remove hair on the face and body
• Reduce hair growth density
• Result in significant improvements after only a few treatments
• Effectively destroy the hair follicle without harming the surrounding skin
• Get rid of embarrassing hair or hair that is difficult to reach
• Help you feel confident on the beach or at the gym

Laser Hair Removal Costs

The costs of laser hair removal vary depending on the size of the treatment area and the number of treatments needed for optimum results. Dr. Kay and his staff will discuss your options for cosmetic surgery financing to help make your laser hair removal as affordable as possible.

What to Expect

Laser hair removal is a quick office procedure offers a long-term alternative to shaving and waxing for both men and women, and can be effective nearly anywhere on the face or body. Prior to your procedure, you should stop plucking or waxing so enough of the hair root is in a position to absorb light from the laser.

The procedure itself is relatively painless, although some patients experience mild discomfort. We will trim the hair to a few millimeters above the skin’s surface and adjust the laser equipment based on your hair pigment and skin tone. We may ask you to wear appropriate eye protection. A cold gel or cooling device will be applied to the exterior of your skin to help the laser light penetrate into the hair follicles. We will then apply a pulse of light to the treatment area.

Smaller areas like the face can be treated in only a couple of minutes, while larger areas like the back may take up to an hour. After the treatment is complete, you may be given an ice pack or anti-inflammatory cream to assist with any discomfort.

Your next session should be scheduled 4 to 6 weeks later, since each individual hair must be treated during its active growth cycle in order for LHR to be effective. While a noticeable decrease in hair growth is likely after only a couple of sessions, most patients continue treatment for 4 to 8 sessions until they are completely satisfied with their results.

Your Recovery & Results

Laser hair removal requires virtually no downtime, and most patients simply return to their routine immediately after their appointment. You may notice some irritation or redness in the treated area, but this usually fades quickly. You will need to keep the treatment areas out of direct sun exposure, and we may ask you to use a special skincare lotion or cream. The treated hair will gradually fall out over the course of the next month.

Most patients see a significant reduction in hair growth soon after their first or second treatment. After a full complement of sessions is completely finished, your skin will be permanently hair-free. Laser hair removal offers men and women the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of smooth skin without the ongoing commitment of shaving or waxing.
