Laser Hair Removal

Laser Hair Removal Benefits

Laser Hair Removal in Tucson is a permanent, non-invasive procedure that safely removes unwanted hair from the entire body. This cost effective approach to smooth skin is one of the top non-surgical aesthetic procedures in the country. In comparison to other treatment options such as waxing, shaving or plucking, this long lasting method will often only require once yearly maintenance treatments after the initial series is complete. That is a considerable factor when it comes to the benefit of less time consuming, gentle approach to achieving smooth, silky skin with no cuts, irritation or bumps.

How does Laser Hair Removal work?

At Skin Care By Design, our popular lasers are FDA approved for safely removing hair for all skin types. Laser hair removal targets dark, coarse hair and is most effective during the active hair growth cycles. Our lasers successfully deliver highly concentrated light which generates heat; the heat destroys the hair follicle eliminating the possibility of re-growth. If the hair follicle is not in the active stage, the laser light will pass over it leaving it undamaged. Only about 30-50% of your hair is in the active stage at any given time, which is why it typically requires a series of six to eight treatments. Treatments are recommended 6-8 weeks apart. Some candidates may require a few additional maintenance treatments to complete the area. Discussing the benefits and treatment plan with your skin care provider will ensure your confidence in getting started on a hair free path to smooth skin.

Preparing for your laser hair removal treatment is simple!

Staying out of the sun is key to excellent results, however if you are tan we may ask that you postpone your treatment until the tan has diminished. We ask that you shave prior to your treatment, and we advise not to use any hair removal creams or waxing prior to your appointment.

Time and Recovery

Each session on average can be 15-60 minutes depending on the area, and any prep time involved. We will provide a more precise time estimate after discussing your treatment goals. No downtime is required, however there may be mild redness and discomfort after your session, and we compliment every treatment with an application of post laser lotion to soothe any slight swelling of the follicle and cool the skin. Side effects are rare and during your complimentary consultation your skin care provider will discuss pre and post treatment care and answer any questions you may have.
