Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal can inhibit the growth of hair follicles to treat unwanted face and body hair. Many patients seek treatment for unsightly facial hair, back hair, arm hair, chest hair, or hair around the bikini line. Using laser technology, cosmetic surgeons can remove hair by targeting hair follicles down to the root. Laser energy can inhibit the growth of future hair follicles for long-lasting results. Laser hair removal can enhance your overall complexion and achieve more vibrant skin over the course of several treatments by removing unwanted hair follicles. Lasers are an effective alternative to traditional means of hair removal, such as shaving, waxing, or topical creams and can often achieve results with greater precision. Laser hair removal is completely non-invasive and requires virtually no downtime post-procedure.

Your Laser Hair Removal Procedure

Laser hair removal is normally performed in-office, but can also be completed at an outpatient surgical facility. During treatment, the laser delivers specialized light energy to the hair follicles. This laser energy is absorbed by the follicle’s pigments and transferred down the hair shaft, inhibiting future hair growth. Advanced laser hair removal technology can read your hair density, color, and diameter and adjust the setting to disrupt hair growth.

Your hair removal procedure can be combined with other skin care treatments for substantial improvements to your complexion. Laser acne treatment and laser vein treatment may also be used alongside laser hair removal.

What To Expect After Undergoing Your Laser Hair Removal Treatment

Since laser hair removal is completely non-surgical, there is virtually no recovery time and patients can resume daily activities immediately after completing treatment. Slight redness, irritation, or discomfort may occur for a few days following your laser hair removal procedure. Sun exposure and tanning should be avoided in subsequent weeks. Specific timelines and instructions can be discussed with your plastic surgeon during your in-office consultation.
