How Much is Laser Hair Removal?

Shaving is a large part of most people’s hygiene routines. Buying razors, shaving cream, and spending time shaving every single day accumulates to a lot of time and money spent. Schedule an appointment for laser hair removal at Alamo Ranch Laser Aesthetics to remove your unwanted hair in a handful of treatments for long-lasting results. 

What is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is a non-invasive treatment that deactivates hair follicles to keep unwanted hair from growing for months or years. You can be free of unwanted hair in almost any area with virtually no effort. Alamo Ranch Laser Aesthetics treats areas such as the:

• Legs
• Face
• Chin
• Back
• Arm or underarm
• Bikini line

After the initial rounds of treatments, you can enjoy hair-free skin with annual touch-ups for years to come. 

Laser Hair Removal Cost

The cost of laser hair removal is dependent on the treatment area’s size and the number of treatments. In 2020, research by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons showed an average laser hair removal cost of $389 per session. 

What to Expect With Laser Hair Removal

One of our experts at Alamo Ranch Laser Aesthetics may trim the hair in the treatment area to a few millimeters above the skin’s surface to ensure a smooth treatment. A numbing cream is sometimes applied to minimize discomfort.

At Alamo Ranch Laser Aesthetics, we use the Cutera Xeo® for laser hair removal. This laser works on more skin tones than most other lasers, making the treatment available to more people. Depending on the size of the treatment area, sessions can last anywhere from half an hour to an hour. 

Typically, optimal results may require two to six sessions. Once you complete the initial sessions, you can see up to 90% hair reduction with fine, sparse hair growth months to years later. Discuss with one of our experts how many treatments are best for you. 

Is Laser Hair Removal Painful?

Most people say that laser hair removal feels like a rubbing band snapping against the skin. Others experience a quick stinging or tingling sensation. The discomfort during sessions is minimal.
After the sessions, you may experience redness or swelling in the treated area for a couple of hours. You should be able to return to your daily activities immediately.

How Long Does Laser Hair Removal Last?

Laser hair removal can last from several months to years, depending on the person. The results are semi-permanent because the treated hair follicles may eventually recover from the damage and begin growing hair again. After the initial series of treatments, annual touch-ups are required to maintain optimal results. 

Am I a Good Candidate for Laser Hair Removal?

If you are tired of shaving and waxing in your daily routine, you may be a good candidate for laser hair removal. People with blond, red, or gray hair may not be good candidates because the laser may not be able to target the pigment as effectively. If you have waxed or plucked your hair recently, you may have to wait for the hair to grow back before beginning laser hair removal treatments.
