Laser Hair Removal

How Does it Work?

Pulses of energy gradually heat the hair follicles deep into the skin’s subdermal layer to eliminate hair regrowth while leaving the surrounding skin undamaged. An additional cooling mechanism further ensures the surface of your skin stays cool and comfortable throughout your treatment.

Does Laser Hair Removal Hurt?

Most of our patients find the Lutronic Clarity II laser treatment comfortable. While patients may explain a mild “snapping” on the skin as the laser is moved over the treatment area, they are more relaxed compared to their experience with other hair removal devices. Patients note they mostly feel a warm sensation, similar to a hot stone massage. Clarity has a specialized skin-cooling system that provides a more comfortable treatment.

Which Areas of the Body Can You Treat?

The Lutronic Clarity II laser can treat any area of the body where hair is present. The most common areas for treatment include the legs, underarms, bikini line, upper lip and chin for women, and the back, chest and arms for men.

What to Expect During Laser Hair Removal Treatment

During your first visit to our office, Dr. Desjarlais and our cosmetic team will develop a treatment plan customized to your skin and your aesthetic goals. Most patients require a series of 6-8 laser treatments spaced 4-8 weeks apart (depending on the area being treated).

Depending on the size and area to be treated, it could take anywhere from 5-30 minutes.

You may see some hair reduction from your first treatment. However, most patients need at least five treatments, spaced 4-8 weeks apart for optimal results.

In the days leading up to your laser hair removal treatment, be sure to shave the area you plan to treat. Refrain from waxing or using an epilator on the area during your entire treatment series.
