Diangelis Skin & Lips LLC in Scottsdale, AZ. Enjoy painless laser hair reduction with lasting results

Laser hair removal uses concentrated light beams (lasers) to target the pigment in hair follicles. The heat from the laser damages the follicle, inhibiting future hair growth without harming the surrounding skin. Multiple sessions are typically required as hair grows in cycles, and only the follicles in the active growth stage can be effectively targeted. Expect 4-6 treatments spaced several weeks apart to see optimal results.

The laser hair removal process is generally quick, depending on the size of the area being treated. Most patients report minimal discomfort, like a slight pinching or stinging sensation. A cooling gel may be applied to reduce discomfort, and a topical numbing cream can be used if desired. After the procedure, you may experience redness or slight swelling, but this typically subsides within a few hours. Avoiding sun exposure and following aftercare instructions to ensure the best results is important.

Laser hair removal offers long-term hair reduction, and most patients experience permanent hair loss after completing their treatment series. However, some hair may regrow over time, though it tends to be finer and lighter than before. A maintenance treatment can help keep your skin smooth and hair-free if any hair regrowth occurs. The long-lasting results make laser hair removal a cost-effective solution in the long run.
