Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is a cosmetic treatment that can help you get rid of body and facial hair permanently. If you are struggling with hair that grows back too quickly, or are simply tired of having to go to an aesthetician all the time, laser can be the solution.

It is also an excellent choice for people who have sensitive skin, and who get rashes or bad reactions from shaving or waxing. Because it relies on its cutting edge technology and goes directly for the hair follicle, it can be much more gentle on your skin than other hair removal methods.

The laser used during this procedure comes from a small handheld device that will be moved along to cover all the area that you wish to remove the hair on.

It might sound a little intimidating, but the laser is just a strong light that will focus on the melanin produced by your body hair, heating up the follicle and damaging it so that it can’t regrow.

Because it relies on melanin to work, laser hair removal is most effective on people who have brown or black hair, although more state of the art devices can work for lighter hair colors. If you have a dark skin tone, there is no need to worry, as the laser will only focus on the hair follicles.

Laser hair removal is done throughout several sessions to let your skin recover and single out stubborn hair. On average, people get 6 to 8 rounds of laser to achieve their desired results.

Choosing laser hair removal can bring many benefits over other methods. Some include:

Overall, laser is a very safe and effective option for hair removal. Of course, every skin type is different, and checking in with a dermatologist about any preexisting conditions or bad reactions to laser therapies should be a priority before getting the treatment done.

However, outside of some difference in the pigment of the skin afterwards, there are no major side effects or complications for getting laser hair removal.

With Magnolia Dermatology in Texas, you will get a previous consultation, to understand your skin and your goals. This will be key during your process for laser hair removal. There are two experienced professionals specialized in laser therapies and aesthetic procedures: Hannah Teelucksingh and Marissa Tuttle.

Before your sessions, it is important to follow your care provider’s instructions, whether it be to avoid sunlight, getting a close shave, or moisturizing the area, all are essential steps to getting the best results possible.

During the procedure, protective eyewear will be provided so that the laser doesn’t affect your eyes. The area to be treated will be cleaned and covered with a layer of ultrasound gel, to help the laser glide effortlessly.

The device will be pressed onto the skin, emitting the laser in pulses and moving along to cover all the hair. It’s normal to experience a heating sensation, or even something similar to getting a rubber band slightly snapped onto the skin, but further discomfort isn’t expected. If you feel burning pain please let your care provider know immediately.

As pointed out before, almost all of your body is suitable to get laser hair removal. The most requested areas by people who want it are the following:

Often, people choose to have laser hair removal in these areas because routinely they find themselves having to shave or wax them, and it can become taxing to do that so often.

Sometimes, people are not concerned about a specific area for hair removal, but rather they want to achieve the fully hairless effect. 

For those who simply want to be rid of any bodily hair, a full body laser hair removal is also an option. After a consultation with your care provider, you can get the procedure in all the parts that you never want to see hair again and be done with it forever.
