Laser Hair Removal

During your appointment, a concentrated light beam will be aimed at the treatment area, which is absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicles without damaging the skin. Most patients only feel a slight prickling sensation. After each laser treatment, you will notice less and less hair growing back, and what does return becomes finer, lighter, and grows slower. After your final treatment, hair will stop growing back altogether.

The Skin Deep Medical Spa team gives you specific instructions ahead of time. You usually need to shave a day or two before each session. Don't tan for at least a week before each treatment, and don't wax or dye hair in between your appointments.

Most men and women get the desired results with a series of treatments. The exact number of treatments depends on the treatment area size and how thick your hair is, but in general, most people need about 4-6 sessions. Your treatments are scheduled at least one month apart, and the sessions generally last less than half an hour.

Laser hair removal is quick and painless, with most appointments lasting less than thirty minutes, depending on the area being treated. The number of treatments required varies from patient to patient and depends on the area of treatment, but on average, this process is completed over four to six rounds, each scheduled four to six weeks apart. You can also return to your normal activities immediately after leaving the office. There is no downtime.
