Laser hair removal is a medical procedure that uses concentrated light (laser) to target and destroy hair follicles, preventing future hair growth. It’s a popular cosmetic treatment for long-term hair reduction. In the state of SC you need to be a licensed medical provider to operate a laser and we have several on staff.
Laser hair removal works by emitting light that is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair. This light energy is converted to heat, which damages the hair follicle and inhibits future hair growth. The process is most effective during the hair’s active growth phase (anagen). Depending on your skin type and hair color certain lasers are better than others. At your free consultation a licensed medical provider will educate you on what will work best for you.
Laser hair removal provides long-lasting hair reduction. While it is not guaranteed to be completely permanent, many people experience permanent hair loss in treated areas after completing a series of sessions. Some individuals may require periodic touch-up treatments to maintain results. Studies have shown lasers can be up to 93% effective at removing hair from any given area. This is also why we offer electrolysis to remove any hair the lasers do not remove.
Yes, laser hair removal is safe when performed by a trained licensed professional. The lasers used in the procedure are FDA-approved and have been extensively tested. However, like any medical treatment, there are some risks, including skin irritation, pigment changes, or scarring, though these are rare.
Laser hair removal works best on individuals with darker hair, as the laser targets the pigment in the hair. Lasers can struggle with blonde or gray hairs, which is why we also offer electrolysis, so no matter what type of hair you have we can remove all of it.
Laser hair removal can be performed on almost any area of the body, including:
Most people require 4–6 sessions for optimal results. These sessions are typically spaced 4–8 weeks apart, depending on the treatment area and hair growth cycle(there are 3 different growth cycles). Additional touch-up treatments may be needed for maintenance. Everyone's a little different, it really depends on your genetics and the area you want treated.
After treatment, you may experience some redness or swelling in the treated area, similar to a mild sunburn. This typically resolves within a few hours to a few days. It’s important to avoid sun exposure and wear sunscreen to protect the treated area.
It can be for some people. The sensation of laser hair removal is often described as a rubber band snapping against the skin. Some people experience discomfort, but the pain is usually mild and temporary. We also offer numbing cream for patients who want it.
The length of each session varies depending on the size of the treatment area. Typically 20-30 minutes. Small areas (e.g., upper lip) can take as little as 5–10 minutes, while larger areas (e.g., back or legs) may take up to an hour.
While laser hair removal is generally safe, potential side effects include:
Yes, laser hair removal can be performed on sensitive skin. The practitioner will look to use the right laser for your skin type and adjust the laser settings to minimize the risk of irritation.
There is minimal to no downtime required after laser hair removal. Most people can return to their normal activities immediately. However, you should avoid direct sun exposure and strenuous exercise for at least 24–48 hours to prevent irritation.
Laser hair removal is most effective on dark hair with high levels of melanin, as the laser targets the pigment. It can be less effective on blonde or grey hair. That is why we have 3 different lasers as well as electrolysis so we can effectively remove all the hair from wherever you want it gone from.
The cost of laser hair removal varies depending on factors such as the treatment area, the number of sessions required, and the size of the area. Prices range from $100 to $500 per session based on the size of the area. Packages are also available to save you money on multiple treatments.
Yes, laser hair removal can be combined with multiple other treatments, if you want. However, it’s important to consult with a provider to ensure that the treatments are compatible with your skin type.
Yes, some individuals may experience occasional regrowth; it depends on your genetics. Some patients may need periodic touch-up treatments. Additionally, maintaining good skincare and sun protection also helps maximize your long term results.
