What is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is an aesthetic treatment that uses a targeted laser beam to damage the hair follicles. This damage stops or at least delays the follicles from growing hair, leaving you with fewer hairs and smoother skin.
Laser hair removal at The ReCenter can be done all over the body, including the legs, chest, abdomen, bikini line, armpits and arms, upper lip, and more. Additionally, while laser hair removal often works best on patients with light skin and dark hair, it can typically be used on all skin types.
Who is a Candidate for Laser Hair Removal?
Most men and women of most skin types and tones who are struggling with unwanted body hair are good candidates for laser hair removal. We simply recommend that you are in good overall health, have realistic expectations, and don’t have a history of keloid scars or vitiligo. We don’t recommend this treatment for patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
The Laser Hair Removal Treatment
Prior to your laser hair removal treatment, you will want to avoid excess sun exposure, tanning beds, and sunless tanners. We also ask that you shave before your appointment.
On the day of your treatment, we’ll give you special goggles to protect your eyes from the laser. Your provider may also apply a topical anesthetic to ensure you’re comfortable throughout the procedure. From there, the laser handpiece will be moved over the treatment area. At most, you will feel a warmth and slight snapping sensation, like a rubber band snapping against your skin.
Laser hair removal usually requires two to six treatments spaced 4-8 weeks apart. Most patients need multiple treatments to ensure we treat the hair at each stage of the active hair growth process.
Treating a small area, such as the upper lip, takes as little as a few minutes, while larger areas may take a full hour or more.

Laser Hair Removal Recovery and Results
There is no downtime required following your laser hair removal. You can return to work, home, or your daily routine immediately. You may see some redness and swelling at the treatment site, but those side effects will dissipate within an hour or two. Feel free to use a cold compress to ease swelling and discomfort. You’ll also want to use sunscreen when outdoors.
As for results, your hair won’t fall out immediately but will begin to shed after one to three weeks. The more treatments you receive, the more significant results. But even when hair does grow, it will grow in finer and lighter in color. Results can last several months to years.
