Laser Hair Removal
What Is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal treatments employ a focused beam of light energy to heat hair follicles in the targeted area. The heat damages the hair follicles, which slows and prevents hair regrowth. At UniQ Laser Center, we use the GentleMax Pro® laser by Candela, so we can safely and effectively provide hair removal for patients of many skin tones.
Who Qualifies for Laser Hair Removal?
Ideal candidates for laser hair removal are individuals with light skin and dark hair. The laser targets hair pigment, so individuals with more melanin are at higher risk for burns and may not achieve optimal results.
Our laser specialists will assess your hair and skin during a consultation to determine if you’re a good candidate for treatment. If you meet the criteria, our provider will create a personalized laser hair removal plan to leave you with beautifully smooth and hair-free skin.
What Is a Laser Hair Removal Treatment Like?
While laser hair removal is not typically painful, some discomfort may be experienced. It can feel similar to a snap of a rubber band against the skin. However, laser hair removal treatments are usually well-tolerated by our patients.
What to Expect After Laser Hair Removal
You will be given aftercare instructions to follow to encourage optimal healing. It is especially important that you do not expose the skin to direct sunlight and that you only apply skincare products approved by our provider until otherwise directed.
Minor skin irritation, redness, and/or swelling can occur after laser hair removal. These symptoms generally resolve on their own within a few days.
How Long Does Laser Hair Removal Last?
With regular maintenance appointments, you can enjoy smooth, hair-free skin for many years to come. We recommend scheduling maintenance appointments every six months, or as needed, to prevent hair regrowth.
What Is the Cost of Laser Hair Removal?
The price of your laser hair removal treatment will be determined during your consultation. The number of treatment area(s), the size of the treatment area(s), and the number of sessions needed can impact the overall cost of laser hair removal.
