Does laser hair removal really work?
When performed by an experienced provider with specialized equipment, laser hair removal can help to dramatically reduce or even stop hair removal. It is important for patients considering laser hair removal to understand that the most successful outcomes are typically achieved in patients with lighter skin and darker hair, though hair growth can certainly be reduced in other patients as well. During your initial consultation for laser hair removal at Mountain Med Spa, our knowledgeable team will evaluate your hair and skin tone and determine if laser hair removal may be appropriate and effective for you.
Where can laser hair removal be used?
Laser hair removal can be used virtually anywhere on the body, from head to toe – with a few exceptions. Areas both large and small can be treated with laser hair removal. Some of the most common treatment sites for laser hair removal include:
- Face (cheeks, upper lip, chin)
- Neck
- Chest
- Back
- Underarms
- Arms
- Back
- Legs
- Bikini line
- Pubic area (Brazilian)
Even tiny areas of unwanted hair growth, like the fingers, toes, and ears, can be treated with laser hair removal.
What areas can’t be treated with laser hair removal?
There are some features that are not suitable for treatment with laser hair removal, such as:
- Inside the nose
- Inside the ears
- Eyes/eyelids
- Nipples
Tattooed skin, areas with an active infection or rash, and other places may also be off-limits for laser hair removal. These will be discussed with the patient prior to treatment.
How many laser hair removal sessions will I need?
Most often, patients require a series of 3 – 5 laser hair removal treatment sessions spaced about 3 – 6 weeks apart. This allows for the hair follicles to be treated during their active growth phase (versus the dormant phase), which is necessary for destroying the follicle. In some cases, patients may experience a regrowth of hair after laser hair removal – which can occur after a few months or several years later. New hair growth after laser hair removal is typically much sparser than the patient’s original growth and can be treated with a maintenance “touch-up” laser hair removal session to restore the silky smooth skin they’ve grown accustomed to.
