What is laser hair removal?

Laser hair removal is an aesthetic laser treatment that targets hair follicles deep in your skin to stop them from producing body hair. While you might rely on shaving, waxing, electrolysis, or plucking to get rid of the body hair you don’t want, laser hair removal is a more efficient option that offers long-lasting results. 

Just like other laser treatments, laser hair removal uses a beam of light with a specific wavelength to treat your skin noninvasively. The light reaches your follicles to damage them while vaporizing any hair currently growing from them. 

Laser hair removal can target large regions of hair in a brief procedure. For the best possible results, you need an initial series of several laser hair removal treatments to target every region's follicle during its growth phase. 

Does laser hair removal work anywhere on my body?

You might be curious as to which areas laser hair removal treatments can target and whether or not you can finally say goodbye to all of your current hair removal practices. Fortunately, laser hair removal is a great solution for unwanted body hair in almost any area. You can use it to treat hair on your:

• Arms
• Legs
• Armpits
• Chest
• Back
• Bikini area
• Chin and jaw

The only area you shouldn’t target with laser hair removal is any part of your face near your eyes, such as your eyebrows. The laser’s heat can cause permanent damage to your eyes, which is why you use protective eyewear during the treatment at Stillwater Aesthetics and Wellness. 

How long can I expect the results of laser hair removal to last?

Laser hair removal results are long-lasting for most, and for many people, they’re permanent. It’s not always possible to predict whether or when hair will grow back. However, if it does, it tends to grow back finer and more sparse than before. 

You can target any hair regrowth with another session of laser hair removal at Stillwater Aesthetics and Wellness when needed. In any case, look forward to enjoying a permanent reduction in the amount of hair you grow in the treated areas of your skin.
