Laser Hair Removal

Lakewood Laser offers a variety of different hair removal options to stop or reduce the growth of unwanted hair. Our goal is to remove your hair in a safe manner, resulting in attractive permanent hair reduction.

Treatments

Laser Hair Removal is the most common cosmetic procedure performed on both men and women.

The process works by targeting the pigmented hair follicle with a beam of laser light. This light is absorbed, and the energy is transformed into heat, which can disable the follicle without damaging the surrounding skin.

In our clinic we use two different treatments for hair removal:

  • GentleLASE Plus,
  • Coolglide

With these treatments, we are able to treat all skin types. Each laser has a unique cooling system, which cools the upper layers of the skin. This provides increased comfort and protects the skin.

What to Expect

An initial consultation will determine if you are a good candidate for laser hair removal and determine if you might be at risk of hyperpigmentation from the treatment. During treatment, you may experience a stinging sensation or increased heat in the area being treated. After treatment, you may experience discomfort, redness, swelling or itching that can last for a few hours to a few days.

It is common to need more than one laser hair removal treatment. You will need to avoid sunlight while undergoing treatment and for at least 7 days after the final treatment. There is also a chance that the treatment may darken or lighten the skin. Exposure to sunlight after treatment can increase this chance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What areas of the body are treated with the laser?

Virtually any area of the body that has unwanted hair can be treated by laser. Facial and bikini areas are usually completed in less than 30 minutes. Legs and larger areas can take longer. Treatment can be performed on both men and women. The best results are achieved on darker hair but other factors may influence the treatment process, and are generally best evaluated and discussed with your laser specialist.

What precautions should I take?

Avoid the sun 4-6 weeks before treatment. Avoid plucking or waxing hair 6 weeks prior to treatment. You should discuss your desired results and the improvements you expect to achieve. Together you and the consultant can decide if your expectations will be met and if the laser treatment is the best option.

Why should I choose laser hair removal?

Traditional hair removal techniques, such as shaving, plucking, and waxing, provide only temporary relief. Scarring, allergic reactions and ingrown hairs are common side effects of all these hair removal methods. Until now, the only semi-permanent way to remove hair has been by electrolysis – which can be painful, time consuming and is limited to small cosmetic areas. Our lasers safely remove unwanted body hair without damaging the delicate pores and structures of the skin.

How many treatments will I need?

Hair grows in cycles. The number of treatments required depends upon your skin, hair coloring and coarseness of the hair. Repeated sessions (an average of 6) will be necessary to treat these follicles when they re-enter the growth phase.

How much does the treatment cost?

Treatment costs may vary. Please contact us for a free consultation.

Is there a charge for the initial consultation?

Initial consultations are complimentary. This gives both the client and the practitioner an opportunity to best determine what treatments would be beneficial, effective and practical.
