Laser Hair Removal at Clevens Face and Body Specialists

What is Laser Hair Removal?

Unfortunately, shaving and waxing can be time consuming, yet they only provide temporary hair removal results, as the stubble will return all-too-soon. Even more frustrating, frequent shaving can result in painful razor burn, ingrown hairs, cuts, redness, and itchy skin. Luckily, laser hair removal from Clevens Face and Body Specialists will put a stop to this endless cycle, ridding unwanted hair growth for good.

Laser Hair Removal:

• Is easy and effective
• Decreases hair growth
• Can be used on the face, neck, legs, back, arms, and bikini line
• Is safe for most skin tones
• Does not damage surrounding tissues

Laser hair removal from Clevens Face and Body Specialists is an effective way for both women and men to reduce unwanted hair growth. Through a series of short, pain-free sessions, unwanted hair can be reduced on almost any area of the body, putting an end to the continued reappearance of stubble. The most commonly treated areas include the arms, neck, back, bikini area, buttocks, and the legs. The laser is also safe enough for delicate facial tissues such as the upper lip, chin, cheeks, and sideburns.

Your Laser Hair Removal Consultation

Prior to beginning the laser hair removal process, schedule your private consultation at Clevens Face and Body Specialists. During this appointment, the laser specialist will evaluate the skin and hair along the target area. You’ll also have an opportunity to discuss your aesthetic expectations with our providers and get answers to any questions you have. Finally, you and your provider will work together to design a treatment plan to achieve your goals.

Recovery and Results from Laser Hair Removal

No downtime is needed after a laser hair removal session at Clevens Face and Body Specialists. While the treated area may initially be red or mildly irritated, these side effects will fade over the next several hours. Laser hair removal patients are able to resume their usual activities immediately, including work, school, and exercise. To avoid long-lasting pigmentation changes, patients must avoid sun exposure and consistently use sunblock for several weeks after treatment. Additionally, it is recommended that laser hair removal clients avoid plucking or waxing along the treatment area.

While the benefits from a laser hair removal session cannot be seen right away, in as little as two weeks, patients may begin to notice early results. Each treatment can result in a 10-25% reduction in hair growth. For optimal results, six treatments, along with two maintenance sessions, will be required.

Risks of Laser Hair Removal

Today’s laser hair removal is safe for most people. At Clevens Face and Body Specialists, each laser specialist has been exceptionally trained in hair removal techniques, ensuring the most comfortable and effective treatments. Although rare, there is a small chance for side effects to occur, such as localized irritation, redness, and swelling. However, these issues will normally dissipate in the first several days following treatment. The state-of-the-art laser used by Clevens Face and Body Specialists targets only the dark pigments in the hair follicles, therefore the heat will not harm the surrounding healthy skin. More serious complications, such as infection, folliculitis, burns or blisters, scarring, and areas of hyperpigmentation are uncommon, but can occur.
