What Is Laser Hair Removal?

The pioneers of laser hair removal technology have developed a treatment that delivers optimal comfort, effectiveness, and efficiency within a few simple sessions. This procedure suits individuals of all genders, irrespective of skin tone (from fair to tanned) or hair texture (from fine to coarse). Patients can relish enduring hair reduction with laser hair removal in minimal time.

With xeo® laser hair removal, you can experience a swift and comfortable procedure that can be completed in as little as 30 minutes. This advanced technology caters to various body areas: underarms, legs, bikini areas, arms, chest, and back.

Bye-bye razor, hello laser!

Laser hair removal is a treatment that delivers powerful yet gentle light into the hair follicle to prevent regrowth. Since hair grows in phases, it's necessary to repeat the treatment at periodic intervals to achieve maximum hair reduction. With laser hair removal, patients can enjoy optimum comfort as the treatment area is continuously cooled during each light pulse. Why wait for your next waxing session, stress over running out of razors, or deal with continuous shaving? Laser hair removal gives you the silky, smooth skin that you've been dreaming of, with results in as few as four to six treatments.

Hair-free and carefree: what to expect

Limit any plucking, waxing, or electrolysis for six weeks before your first treatment, and avoid sun exposure as much as possible. To reduce discomfort during the treatment, a numbing gel will be applied to the treated skin. The results of laser hair removal treatment may vary depending on factors such as the color and thickness of the hair, the area treated, the type of laser used, and the color of the skin. However, patients should expect to see a noticeable reduction of hair after the first treatment, typically ranging from 10-25%. 

Expect no downtime after your first treatment. The area will be red and swollen, but that diminishes within a day or so. Use a cold compress to reduce any swelling. Complications, like blisters or scarring, are pretty rare. Removing all hair from an area typically takes 2-6 treatments. Then you should see no hair for several months or years. If you do see any growth, it will be thinner and lighter in color. Some maintenance could be needed down the road. After treatment, avoid hot showers, saunas, and exercise for 24 hours. Use no deodorant, moisturizer, or fragrances.

Recovery Tips for Laser Hair Removal

  • Avoid sun exposure: Laser-treated skin is more sensitive to UV radiation, so protecting your skin from direct sunlight for at least two weeks after treatment is crucial. Use sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher, wear protective clothing, and avoid tanning beds.
  • Skip hot showers and baths: Hot water can increase skin sensitivity and lead to irritation or blistering. Stick to lukewarm or cool showers for the first 48 hours post-treatment.
  • Avoid harsh skincare products: For a few days after your laser hair removal session, refrain from using products that contain active ingredients like retinoids, alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), or beta hydroxy acids (BHAs). These can potentially irritate your skin.
  • Skip physical exfoliation: Do not use scrubs or exfoliating agents on the treated area for about a week after your session to prevent irritation.
  • Gentle cleansing: Cleanse the treated area with a mild, fragrance-free, and hypoallergenic soap or cleanser. Avoid harsh or scented products that might irritate your skin.
  • Avoid sweating: Refrain from activities that cause excessive sweating for at least 24-48 hours post-treatment. Sweating can increase the risk of skin irritation and infection.
  • Moisturize: Apply a gentle, non-comedogenic moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated and reduce any dryness or flaking that may occur.
  • Loose clothing: Wear loose-fitting clothing to prevent friction and irritation on the treated area.
  • Patience is vital: Results from laser hair removal are not immediate. It may take several weeks for the treated hair to shed naturally. Be patient and allow your body time to eliminate the targeted hair follicles.
  • Follow post-care instructions: Always adhere to any specific post-care instructions provided by your laser hair removal provider. They will have the best guidance tailored to your skin type and the specific laser used.
  • Avoid plucking or waxing: While the hair is shedding, avoid plucking or waxing the treated area. Shaving is usually acceptable during this time.
  • Stay hydrated and maintain a healthy diet: Drinking enough water and eating a balanced diet can support your skin's recovery process.

Cost of Laser Hair Removal

The cost of laser hair removal in Tampa, Florida, can vary depending on several factors, including the area being treated, the number of sessions required, the provider's experience, and the specific clinic or spa you choose. Generally, laser hair removal is priced per session or as a package for multiple sessions.

To give you a rough estimate, the average cost per session of laser hair removal can range from $100 to $500 or more. Larger areas, like the legs or back, tend to be more expensive than smaller areas, such as the upper lip or underarms. Multiple sessions are typically required to achieve optimal results, and clinics often offer discounted package deals for a series of treatments.

It's important to note that these price ranges are just an approximation, and the best way to get an accurate cost estimate is to set up a consultation with Dr. Gharai.

Laser Hair Removal FAQ

How does laser hair removal work?

Is laser hair removal painful?

How many sessions are needed for effective results?

Are there any side effects or risks associated with laser hair removal?

Who is a good candidate for laser hair removal?

How does laser hair removal work?

Laser hair removal works by emitting a concentrated beam of light into hair follicles. The pigment in the follicles absorbs the light, which then destroys the hair. Over time and with multiple sessions, the hair follicles become damaged, leading to permanent hair reduction.

Is laser hair removal painful?

Sensations vary from person to person, but most individuals describe laser hair removal as feeling like a rubber band snapping against the skin. Some areas of the body may be more sensitive than others. However, many modern laser systems come equipped with cooling mechanisms to minimize discomfort during treatment.

How many sessions are needed for effective results?

Multiple sessions are usually required for optimal results. The exact number depends on factors such as hair color, skin tone, and the area being treated. On average, it takes around 6 to 8 sessions spaced several weeks apart to achieve significant hair reduction. Maintenance sessions may be needed periodically to maintain results.

Are there any side effects or risks associated with laser hair removal?

While laser hair removal is generally safe when performed by a qualified professional, some potential side effects may include temporary redness, swelling, and mild discomfort. In rare cases, there's a risk of burns, blistering, or changes in skin pigmentation. It's essential to follow pre- and post-treatment instructions provided by your provider to minimize these risks.

Who is a good candidate for laser hair removal?

Laser hair removal is suitable for most people, but it's most effective on individuals with light skin and dark hair. People with lighter hair may not respond as well to treatment since the laser targets pigment. Additionally, certain medications, medical conditions, or skin types may not be compatible with laser hair removal. A consultation with a qualified practitioner can determine if you're a suitable candidate for the procedure.
