Laser Hair Removal

Ideal patients are people with unwanted hair and individuals with many different skin types and hair textures. The best results are generally achieved on individuals with fair skin and dark coarse hair. However, advances in laser technology have made it possible to have dramatic results on individuals with darker complexions. As of yet, laser hair removal cannot be done on white or silvery hair.

On average each session of laser costs approximately $200-$400. The price varies depending on the area being treated, how long each laser session takes, how many sessions will be needed and the training of the person administering the laser treatment.

For a day or two after a session, the area that was treated will appear as though it was sunburned. There will be a shedding and thinning of the hair for about two weeks after the treatment. Hair growth happens in stages and lasers only target the hairs in the active stage of growth which makes multiple sessions of laser necessary to achieve complete removal of hair. If the hair grows back, it is generally lighter and finer that it was before. Some touchups may be necessary several months after the initial sessions.
