What is Laser Hair Reduction?

Laser hair removal is an alternative treatment to shaving and waxing for getting rid of unwanted hair on your face and body. We use advanced technologies that allow for laser hair removal face treatments, as well as body treatments. With continued advancement in the realm of laser hair treatments, patients can safely remove unwanted body hair from the upper lip or larger areas without causing skin irritation to the surrounding skin. Laser hair removal has traditionally worked best on light skin with dark hair, but continued innovation has made certain lasers safe for darker skin tones. Lasers target the dark hair follicle, so contrast between hair and skin color is key to avoiding skin lightening-- patients should avoid sun exposure or indoor tanning equipment before treatment for effective hair removal.

The average cost of laser hair reduction is $400 to $1,250 for six sessions, depending on the size of the treatment area.

Am I a Candidate for Laser Hair Reduction?

Our treatments work for most skin and hair types but work best if there is a high color contrast between skin tone and hair color. Laser facial hair reduction may require that you avoid other hair removal methods for some time before the procedure.

How is Laser Hair Reduction Performed?

Our Motus AX system is one of the most efficient devices for laser hair removal. The laser energy is applied to the treatment area in short bursts. Many patients describe the sensation you feel as being similar to pinching the skin or snapping it with a rubber band. The sensation lasts less than two seconds for each burst of energy.

What is Recovery Like After Laser Hair Reduction?

After your laser hair removal treatments, the area is slightly red and sensitive. While your skin may feel sensitive, many patients return to their normal daily activities immediately following treatment. You may notice some hairs remaining in the area that was treated. This is normal and related to the growth cycle of the hair follicles. The hairs will fall out over the coming days. We do recommend follow-up maintenance laser treatments to target any hairs that emerge after the treatment.

How Long Will Laser Hair Reduction Results Last?

Because body hair growth is in a distinct cycle, you may have some new hair growth in the treatment area until you finish a series of treatments. Laser hair removal is a long-lasting treatment that has the potential to be permanent. Houston laser hair removal is a great way to diminish bothersome hair follicles without lengthy recovery.
