LASER HAIR REMOVAL in Houston, TX

WHAT IS LASERHAIR REMOVAL?

Excess hair is a problem for many men and women. The maintenance of shaving, tweezing, waxing and threading can be time consuming and messy. Laser hair removal is a safe and effective way to remove unwanted body hair.

AM I A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR LASER HAIR REMOVAL?

In Houston laser hair removal is an efficient way to remove unwanted hair for both men and women, regardless of skin type or tone. It is a good option for those hard-to reach-places, too. Men who have a significant amount of back hair would also benefit from laser hair removal. If you are generally frustrated with the time it takes to maintain smooth and hair-free skin, you would be a good candidate for laser hair removal.

HOW DOESIT WORK?

The laser used in the handheld device delivers a highly concentrated beam of light that targets the hair follicle. Once heated, the hair follicle is damaged and falls out. The heat generated is safe, and because of the precision of the device, only the target area is treated, so the surrounding skin is not affected.

LASER HAIR REMOVAL FAQs

Most patients do not find laser hair removal to be painful. Many report feeling a slight pinching sensation similar to a rubber band snapping on your skin. After your laser hair removal treatment, you may feel like you have a slight sunburn, but moisturizers or a cool compress can help with any discomfort.

The biggest risk with laser hair removal is protecting the eyes during treatment. Both you and your technician will be wearing protective goggles so there is no need for concern.

It is important to avoid any treatments around the eyes. To prevent the risk of eye damage, the unibrow and any upper cheek facial hair will need to be waxed or tweezed because of the risk from the laser.

Our lasers can treat the various colors of hair, but blonde, gray, or light red can be more difficult to treat.

An at-home laser typically uses IPL technology, which is not only less effective than as our lasers, but it can also be more dangerous. These devices do not provide the same safety controls when it comes to cooling. The can also be more time consuming, more painful and ultimately produce poor quality results. When considering laser hair removal in Houston, it is best to leave it to a professional to ensure your safety and results.

Electrolysis can be effective, but it is more painful as a tiny needle is inserted into each and every hair follicle, one at a time and a jolt of radio frequency energy is delivered. A laser treatment allows the removal of multiple hair follicles at once, enabling a shorter overall treatment. There is a big time commitment with electrolysis.
