How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?

Our hair removal laser reduces unwanted body hair by essentially destroying the hair follicle in a process called “selective photothermolysis” (“photo” = light + “thermolysis” = to destroy with heat). To protect the skin during the treatment, our laser’s wavelength is specifically calibrated to penetrate the melanin within the hair’s root. Melanin is the dark pigment that gives hair its color. When the pigment absorbs the laser’s energy, the follicle is damaged, permanently disabling its ability for regrowth.


How Many Hair Removal Treatments Will I Need?

Typically, multiple laser hair removal treatments are needed to catch every hair while the strand is in the anagen stage. Human hair cycles through three phases of hair growth and shedding: anagen, catagen, and Telogen. Any given strand of hair will be in one of these three phases. In order for a hair follicle to absorb enough thermal energy to achieve permanent hair reduction, hair must be in the “anagen” phase (the most active phase) of hair growth. Of the three phases of hair growth and shedding, the anagen phase is when the hair contains the most melanin, making it the phase where laser hair removal is most effective. Usually, only 20 to 30 percent of your hair is in the anagen phase at any given time. The exact number of treatments depends on the area of the body as well as your unique physiological response to the treatments, and other factors our technician will discuss during your complimentary consultation. We have found that successful permanent hair reduction typically takes six treatments, so our pricing is structured for packages of six treatments.

How Long Does Laser Hair Removal Last?

Often we are asked if laser hair removal is permanent. While laser hair removal is considered permanent, since a destroyed hair follicle will never grow back, some hair may grow back eventually. This can be the case if not all hair follicles are destroyed during treatments, as some types of hair are more difficult to remove than others. Also, hormonal changes can cause new hair growth. For these patients, some minimal follow-up treatments could be required.

Most people find that if some hair regrows, it is lighter and less noticeable than it was before. This is because the laser may damage the hair follicle even when it fails to destroy it.

How Much Does Laser Hair Removal Cost?

Laser hair removal costs vary by treatment area, the number of treatments needed, and whether the patient has purchased a treatment package or is combining laser hair removal with other cosmetic procedures. Since successful hair reduction typically requires six or more treatments, our package pricing is designed to deliver hair-free results at a lower cost than individually priced treatments.


Is Laser Hair Removal Painful?

Comfort and technology are highly related when it comes to laser hair removal. Our Diolaze XL laser is equipped with triple contact cooling making our hair removal service virtually painless. For those who do experience discomfort, our medical staff can provide topical analgesics to increase your comfort.

How to Prepare for Laser Hair Removal

When preparing for laser hair removal, there are some recommendations that you should follow that will significantly improve the experience and final results of your laser treatments:

1. Review Your Medications - When you consult with your aesthetician please inform them of all of the medications, both oral and topical, that you’re taking. There are some medications that can complicate your laser treatments and make them less effective or make your skin sensitive and more likely to blister. If you are on antibiotics, birth control, blood thinners, acne, or photosensitizing medications, be sure to let your aesthetician know.
   
2. Stop Waxing or Tweezing Your Hair - Four to six weeks before your first treatment you should not wax or pluck the hair that you are planning to have removed. Laser hair removal works by targeting the roots of the hair so it is essential that the hair roots present. Shaving is okay, as it leaves the root of the hair in place. In fact, it’s actually encouraged to shave the area being targeted by lasers prior to your scheduled laser appointment.
3. Shave the Area - Shaving 24 to 48 hours prior your appointment is essential. Shaving decreases the potential for burns and helps achieve better results.
4. Avoid UV/Sun Exposure - Two weeks prior to your hair removal treatment please avoid exposure to UV rays from the sun, tanning beds, and even the use of self-tanners. Any kind of sunburn can lead to skin discoloration, blistering, and increased pain. Be sure to use sunscreen daily if the treated areas can’t be covered while outside.
5. Don't Bleach Your Hair - You should stop bleaching your hair six weeks prior to your laser hair removal treatment, so that your natural colored hair roots can grow back. Bleaching your hair alters the pigment and makes the hair more difficult for the laser to target. Laser hair removal targets the root of hair. It is the pigment in the root that actually absorbs the light produced by the laser, permanently destroying the hair.
6. Remove All Makeup and Skin Products - The ingredients in beauty products can sometimes affect the results of laser hair removal and should be removed prior to each of your treatments. This includes deodorant, makeup, lotions, ointments, and anything else applied topically to the area. Immediately before your appointment, take a shower and clean the area thoroughly. Simply use soap and water to cleanse the skin that will be treated. Your skin should be clean, dry, and free of all products at the time of treatment.
