What To Expect During a Laser Hair Removal Session

Laser hair removal is an effective method for safely removing and keeping away unwanted hair on the face and body. The results of laser hair removal are long-lasting and eliminate the need for daily shaving, frequent plucking, or painful waxing. The experienced providers at Tulsa Hills Cosmetic & Laser Skin Center in Tulsa, OK, offer laser hair removal to help you achieve smooth, hair-free skin.

How Laser Hair Removal Works

Laser hair removal treatment can be used to safely and easily eliminate hair from various areas of the face and body. Areas commonly treated with laser hair removal include underarms, legs, bikini line, upper lip, chin, chest, and back.

At our cosmetic and laser skin center in Tulsa, OK, laser hair removal is performed using the GentleMax Pro® laser device. This cutting-edge device has advantages over other types of laser hair removal because it utilizes dual wavelength technology. Unwanted hair is targeted by two different lasers simultaneously so treatment sessions can be completed much more quickly than other types of laser hair removal.

During a hair removal session, the laser is gently passed over the treatment area. Energy from the laser penetrates the skin and is absorbed by the hair follicle in the form of heat, which damages the hair follicle. This destroys the hair follicle so that it is no longer able to produce new hair growth.

One thing to note about laser hair removal is that it only targets hair follicles that are in the growth stage. Additional sessions will be needed to treat other follicles as they reach the growth stage. Most clients can eliminate all unwanted hair in the treatment area in 4-6 sessions.

Benefits of Laser Hair Removal

Laser treatment offers numerous benefits over other hair removal methods. Some of the primary advantages and benefits of laser hair removal include:
