Laser Hair Removal

What type of hair can laser hair removal treat?
  • Hair anywhere on the body can be treated.
  • The laser targets melanin (color), and black and
    brown hairs respond best to treatment.
  • The coarser the hair, the better it will respond
    to treatment.
  • Fine hair, even if dark, may not respond to
    treatment.
  • White, gray, blonde, and light red hairs will not
    respond very well or at all to treatment.

3
Stages of Hair Growth
  • Laser hair removal can only treat follicles that
    have hair in them.
  • Hair grows in cycles- Hair is best treated in the
    Anagen Phase.
  • Not all hair follicles have hair growing at the
    same time, some are dormant and not growing hair.
  • It takes an average of 6 treatments, spaced about
    4-6 weeks apart to remove most of the hair.
  • Expect about a 70-90 reduction in hair.

Other Methods of Hair Removal
  • Waxing
  • Plucking
  • Bleaching
  • Shaving
  • Threading
  • Sugaring
  • Doing Nothing
  • For laser hair removal to be effective, the
    follicle must have the hair in it
  • Do not wax, pluck, sugar, or thread hairs 1
    month prior to laser hair removal treatment

    area are purchased for a reduced fee.

What does treatment feel like?

  • The sensation does not typically linger
  • Numbing cream is available for a small fee.
    Please inform our office at the time of
    scheduling if you would like numbing cream.

FAQs

    treatment.

  • Touch up treatments will be needed
  • I just had
  • sun exposure
  • a beach vacation

  • was outside all weekend without sunscreen.
  • Should I still have treatment?
  • Discuss this with the Doctor!

    treatment today?
  • The treatment will not be effective. The actual
    hairs have to be present in order to be treated
