What Is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is a non-invasive procedure that uses highly concentrated light to remove unwanted hair. The laser targets the pigment in the hair follicle, damaging it to prevent future growth. Unlike traditional methods like shaving or waxing, laser hair removal offers long-lasting results and can treat larger areas of the body more efficiently.

At Banerji Medical Spa, we use state-of-the-art laser technology that is safe for various skin types and hair colors. This treatment is perfect for those seeking a more permanent solution to remove unwanted hair and achieve smooth, hair-free skin.

Areas Targeted by Laser Hair Removal

Our painless laser hair removal is performed to remove unwanted hair from a range of areas, including:

  • Upper lip

Is Laser Hair Removal Right For Me?

If you are continually attending appointments to wax hair growing where you don’t want it, imagine removing the hair and enjoying the results for longer! The savings, over time, can be significant. If you have darker hair, this treatment works wonders.

The light energy is attracted to the darker pigment in the hair follicle, rendering it unable to produce hair. As only the follicles in the active growth phase are affected, you will need several treatments and may need yearly maintenance.

How Many Treatments

Will I Need?

For complete hair removal, you usually need a series of five to nine laser hair removal in Webster & Clear Lake, TX. The time between sessions is usually four to six weeks, depending on the area being treated. During the procedure at Banerji Plastic Surgery & Med Spa, we first apply ultrasound gel to the area being treated and then the tip of the instrument is rubbed along the skin. You may feel some pressure from the device, but the procedure should be essentially painless – far more comfortable than waxing! The entire process lasts a few minutes for small areas and up to 30 minutes for larger areas. You may have mild redness following the treatment, which fades quickly.

Laser Hair Removal The Rules

It is advised that you avoid any sun exposure, both before and after treatment. Ensure you apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily – whether you choose to undergo laser hair removal treatment or not. Before undergoing treatment, you must avoid tanning creams or sunless tanning lotions, or tanning beds. Shave the area to be treated the day before your appointment.

The Results Appear With Time.

Hair does not fall out immediately, but you will see a reduction in hair growth after the first few treatments. By the 9th session, most patients report the area is hair-free. Results may vary, and some patients need maintenance treatments periodically for long-term hair reduction.

Is There a Recovery Time?

The recovery time after laser hair removal is very short. You may have a minor puffy look to the treated area, but you are free to return to your usual activities directly after your treatment – but ensure you avoid sun exposure. To soothe your skin,  you can apply cold compresses, which is typically all that is needed.
