Laser Hair Removal

How does laser hair removal work?

At Center of Advanced Wellness, laser hair removal uses revolutionary laser energy to destroy hair follicles and prevent hair regrowth. The treatment is safe, painless, and effective for most skin colors and types. Laser hair removal helps to reduce hair on your:

• Upper lip
• Neck
• Face
• Arms
• Underarms
• Back
• Chest
• Abdomen
• Bikini area
• Butt
• Legs

Laser hair removal offers long lasting, often permanent, hair reduction. It can save you money, frustration, and time in the long run.

What can I expect during laser hair removal? 

During laser hair removal, you relax on an exam table. Your provider may numb the treatment area to make the procedure feel comfortable. You wear protective glasses to shield your eyes from the laser during the process. 

A device emits laser energy into areas of your body containing undesirable hair. The laser heats and destroys the hair follicles, causing the treated hair to fall out over time. The length of time your treatment lasts depends on the size of your treatment area.

Is laser hair removal right for me? 

Most skin types can benefit from laser hair removal at Center of Advanced Wellness. To find out which treatment is best for you, the team reviews your desired results, discusses your medical history, and examines your body to determine where the undesirable hair grows. They customize each treatment to meet your needs.

 How do I prepare for laser treatment?  

Before undergoing laser hair removal at Center of Advanced Wellness, make sure to follow the team’s instructions:

• Protect your skin from the sun
• Avoid sunless tanning creams
• Stop taking medications should they ask you to

Before your scheduled appointment, steer clear of other hair removal methods for about a month. It’s important to shave the treatment area the day before your laser hair removal.

What should I expect after laser hair removal? 

After the hair removal procedure, you can expect some redness and swelling in the area for a few hours. Ice these areas to reduce swelling and tenderness.

As the treated hair falls out, you can reap the benefits of less body or facial hair. Several laser hair removal sessions ensure the best results. The Center of Advanced Wellness team lets you know when to schedule your next session.
