Hair removal with a laser is a safe process that is effective for many people. During your consultation at Dermatology Center of Dallas, we will go over your concerns, needs, and goals to help decide if you are a good candidate for this treatment. Ideal candidates for laser hair removal treatments:

• Have unwanted facial or body hair
• Are tired of other hair removal techniques (waxing, shaving, depilatory creams, bleaching)
• Have light skin and dark hair
• Are in overall, good physical health

If you are looking for a long-term hair removal alternative to shaving, waxing, and plucking, you're probably a great candidate for laser hair removal. On the day of your laser hair removal appointment, your technician will use a laser device to target and destroy the hair follicles in the selected areas, which prevents them from growing again. Usually, you will need 3 – 5 treatments over 3 – 4 weeks to attain optimal results. 

Following laser hair removal, the treated skin may appear slightly pink or feel warm, similar to a mild sunburn. Any sensitivity usually subsides within a few hours to a day. Avoid direct sun exposure, tanning products, and harsh exfoliants for several days, and use sunscreen daily to protect the skin. Over the next one to three weeks, hair in the treated area will shed gradually, leaving smoother skin behind. Because hair grows in cycles, a series of sessions is typically needed for optimal, long-lasting reduction.

How much does laser hair removal cost?
A laser hair removal treatment varies in cost based on the size and number of areas being treated, in addition to how many sessions are needed to attain optimal results. To help you consider the benefits of choosing laser hair removal, consider the energy and time you currently spend on waxing, shaving, or other temporary hair removal methods. This is why laser hair removal is generally less expensive overall and will save you time and energy in the long run. Our team will create a personalized plan for you with the number of sessions you need and costs.

Is laser hair removal permanent?
Considered an effective treatment, laser hair removal produces lasting improvements. While patients can enjoy the benefits of the treatment for a long time, laser hair removal is technically semi-permanent since some hair may continue growing. Regardless, patients find most of their hair will be gone after their treatment plan is finished, and if a few hairs pop up, it is easier to manage. Additional laser hair removal sessions may also be needed to take care of any stragglers or new growth.

Why do I need multiple laser hair removal sessions?
Your hair growth occurs in phases. When some follicles are in a live growing phase, others are dormant. Since every follicle is in various stages, multiple treatment sessions are usually suggested to target each hair follicle when it is growing. Spreading out your treatments over several weeks — so you get the smoothest, most effective result.

Does laser hair removal hurt?
Your laser hair removal session may cause mild discomfort, but it isn't a painful procedure. Patients should feel a small snap as the laser targets and removes the hair follicle. We can apply a local anesthetic on your skin before the start of your treatment session. Patients who have been getting waxed report that laser hair removal feels more comfortable compared to a normal waxing session.

Can I use my normal skincare products after laser hair removal?
For the first few days after treatment, it’s best to avoid products with active ingredients like retinol, glycolic acid, or strong exfoliants. Stick to gentle cleansers and soothing moisturizers to keep your skin calm and hydrated. Once any redness or sensitivity fades, you can gradually return to your regular routine. Our team will provide detailed aftercare instructions and product recommendations to help protect your skin and maintain smooth results.

Can you get laser hair removal while pregnant?
Laser hair removal is not recommended during pregnancy. While the treatment is generally considered safe, there’s limited research on its effects during pregnancy, so most providers advise waiting until after delivery. Hormonal changes can also make skin more sensitive and affect hair growth patterns. Our team will help you plan your treatment timeline to ensure it’s both safe and effective.
