Laser hair removal is an aesthetic medical procedure that uses a precisely concentrated light beam (commonly called a laser) to remove undesirable hair. Using this process, it’s possible to eliminate unsightly hair from the target areas for months, years, or even permanently. The result is smooth, clear skin without irritation from shaving or harsh depilatory creams.

How Laser Hair Removal Permanently Bans The Razor
Laser hair removal is often sought out by those living with unsightly hair in unwanted places. The bikini line, armpits, legs, upper lip, and chin are all common areas of concern for patients seeking this treatment.
- Will Laser Hair Removal Work For Everyone? – Most patients can benefit from laser hair removal. However, it is most effective in those who have good contrast between their skin and hair color. Recent advances have improved the effectiveness of laser treatments on darker skin. Those with fair-colored hair, such as blond, white, or red, have lower success rates.
- Can Hair Be Removed From Anywhere On The Body? – Generally, yes. The eyelids are the only area of the body where the laser cannot safely remove hair with this technique.
- What Risks Exist With Laser Hair Removal? – The most common side-effect of laser hair removal is temporary irritation of the treatment site. This discomfort may come from swelling and redness, which will pass within a few hours. Temporary or permanent changes in skin pigmentation can also occur but are more common in those who do not avoid sun exposure after treatment.
- How Long Does Laser Hair Removal Last? – The duration that hair growth remains stalled varies from patient to patient. Hair removal typically lasts for several months, though it can sometimes last for years or even be permanent.
- How Often Will I Need Laser Hair Removal? – The laser hair removal process typically takes two to six treatments to see lasting results. How much time passes between treatments will depend on where the treatment is performed. Treatments may be spaced as close as four to eight weeks apart in areas that experience rapid hair growth, such as the upper lip. In slower areas, such as the back, the interval may be as much as 12-16 weeks.
Laser Hair Removal: Procedures & Results
Prior to the start of the procedure, Mara Gomez, APRN, will prepare the treatment area. This preparation may involve shaving the area to provide clearer access to the hair follicles. A topical anesthetic may address any potential discomfort during the procedure. Once the area has been thoroughly prepared, Mara Gomez, APRN, will use a hand-held laser instrument to treat the target area. More sensitive areas may be protected using a cooling gel.
The laser will pass harmlessly through your skin to be absorbed by the target hair follicle. The absorbed light will convert to heat, deliberately causing damage to the hair follicle. This damage will prevent the hair from growing back. The process can take as little as a few minutes for a small area or over an hour for a larger area.
