How Permanent Is Laser Hair Removal?

Dealing with unwanted hair can be a burden that can take up a lot of time and in the long run, a lot of money. Waxing, shaving, and hair removal creams are also notorious for causing irritation, especially in sensitive places which can add a whole other layer of annoyance to the constant cycle of hair removal. With laser hair removal, you can get rid of unwanted hair for good! Here at Well Kin Med Spa in Dallas, TX, we can help!

How Permanent Is Laser Hair Removal?

This laser hair removal treatment can completely stop unwanted hair from returning with the right number of treatments. The number of treatment sessions you will need is going to depend on how thick your unwanted hair is and the darkness of the pigment of the hair. Most people find that unwanted hair will stop returning after 6 to 10 treatment sessions.

However, some people who have thinner, lighter-colored hair may need even fewer treatment sessions. And, those who have thicker, darker hair may need more. This treatment can permanently remove unwanted hair and our staff may be able to give you a better estimate of how many sessions you will need before the hair stops returning for good.

Treatable Areas

Unwanted hair generally stays confined to a number of areas of the body. However, if you do happen to have another region on the body where unwanted hair is a concern, let our staff know! They can take a look and see if this treatment will also be beneficial in those areas too.

The Legs

This area is very popular for this type of treatment. Imagine never having to worry about shaving your legs again! This treatment can make that a reality. It will get rid of unwanted hair on either the top portion of the legs, the bottom portion of the legs, or the entire area. Skin will be smooth and free of unwanted hair for good with the right number of treatment sessions in this area.

The Underarms

The skin in the underarm region is quite sensitive so it is no surprise that razor burn and other types of irritation are common here. With this treatment, unwanted hair on the underarms can be removed once and for all and you will never have to worry about embarrassing and often uncomfortable irritation again.

The Arms

Thick hair on the arms is a concern of many people and this treatment can take care of it! When one resorts to shaving the hair on the arms, it can come back thicker and be even more of a problem down the line. This treatment can give you smooth skin without unwanted hair with the right number of sessions.

The Bikini Area

This area is another area where irritation is rather common. Not only can that irritation be uncomfortable, but it can also make one self-conscious during swimsuit season. This treatment will get rid of that unwanted hair and ensure that irritation is never an issue again.

The Back

Dealing with unwanted hair on the back can be especially irritating because getting to it on your own is nearly impossible. Most people with unwanted back hair have to schedule waxing sessions that can be painful and leave skin red and irritated. This treatment will take care of any unwanted hair on the back area and leave the area smooth and irritation-free for good!

The Upper Lip

Hair on the upper lip is a concern for a lot of people, particularly women. This treatment can take care of that unwanted hair and help you get back your confidence and time! Skin will be smooth and hair removal on the upper lip will never have to be a worry again.

The Buttocks

Unwanted hair on the buttocks region can also be aggravating. This treatment can take care of it so that unwanted hair will never be a concern again.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Does Treatment Hurt?

No, the laser that is used does not affect the skin. It targets only the hair follicle beneath the skin and heats it up. You will not experience any pain as a result of this treatment option and may only feel a bit of heat. Unlike waxing where hair is ripped out by the root, this treatment is painless.

2. Is This a Safe Treatment Option?

Yes, of course! This treatment has been proven over many years and many successful treatments. There is no risk to your safety as a result of this treatment. It is completely safe.

3. How Long Does a Treatment Session Take?

Treatment sessions times are going to vary based on the area or areas that are being treated. Most treatment sessions are not going to take longer than a half-hour but if you are having multiple areas treated, the session may run a bit longer. Either way, if you take into account all the time you have spent in the past dealing with unwanted hair, the sessions for this treatment are very quick and deliver results.

4. How Do I Know It’s Right for Me?

If you are someone who has unwanted hair on the legs, the arms, the back, the bikini region, the upper lip, the underarms, or other regions, this treatment can help. It is a wonderful option for those who are tired of shaving, waxing and dealing with the irritation that comes with those other means of hair removal.

5. Is This a Treatment That Is Only for Women?

Not at all! This treatment is for any person who wants to be free from unwanted hair for good. Both women and men can enjoy all the benefits from this treatment including never having to deal with irritation again! More men are deciding to give this treatment and others like it a try to also deal with concerns about hair removal that take up time, energy, and of course, money.

6. How Do I Get Ready for Treatment?

Instead of getting ready for this treatment, it is best to allow the unwanted hair to grow so that the laser can target the hair follicle while it is in different stages of regrowth. There is no prep work on your end that you need to worry about before your treatment. Just show up and our staff will handle the rest.

7. Can I Have More Than One Area Treated During the Same Session?

Of course! This treatment is safe and gentle enough to treat more than 1 area during a single session. If you want hair removed from the legs and bikini area, both areas can be treated in the same session. Treating more than 1 area during the same session can also help save time if you do happen to have more than 1 area of concern when it comes to unwanted hair.
