If the hair you want to have treated for laser hair removal is dark in color & somewhat coarse you are a good candidate. In general, it needs to be light brown or darker in color. Our laser hair removal in Austin will not work on blonde, grey, or red hair.

If you are pregnant we do not recommend treating with laser hair removal, though we do offer waxing services in Austin and electrolysis which are safe for pregnancy.

After your laser hair removal treatment, you can expect the hair to shed out from the follicle within 2-3 weeks after which you will be hairless in the treated area until the next hair growth cycle begins to come in.

For anything below the neck, the hair will begin to come back in at about the 6 to 8-week mark & that is when you would want to be scheduled for your next visit to catch the hair in the next cycle for the best long term results. The hair that comes in will be thinner/finer & there will be less of it each time. For the face, growth cycles are between the 4 to 6-week mark.

While results can vary from person to person and body area to body area, industry standards are anywhere between 6 to 10 consistent treatments where most people are happy with their results.

All of our Austin laser hair removal machines are classified as permanent hair reduction. After a series of treatments, you will likely see little or no hair growth. However, no hair removal laser can claim to permanently remove hair. Hormonal changes can produce new hair growth. Also, certain medications can cause new hair growth.

Be sure that you are not on any kind of medication that makes you sun-sensitive like Accutane for acne & certain antibiotics as well as topicals like retinol & retinA.

Avoid tanning beds, spray tans & direct sun exposure for about 2 weeks pre-treatment.

Avoid plucking or waxing the area to be treated for about 3 to 4 weeks before planned treatment.

Shave before treatment so that your skin is smooth when you come into the office. However, if it is an area you can not reach we can shave for you.

You do not have to have hair on the treatment area before your session. In fact, you will have to shave the area 24 hours before your session as this will allow the laser to locate the follicle faster.

When it comes to the level of pain, laser hair treatment falls between shaving (pain-free) and plucking (ouch! that really hurts). During the session, you may not feel the heat but you may feel as though the technician is snapping your skin with a rubber band. You may feel some pain, but how painful the procedure depends on which body part is undergoing the treatment. You may experience redness and irritation (similar to what you feel after getting sunburned) after the session.

Dermaplaning is the latest technique producing instant rejuvenation results. The procedure is simple – using a surgical blade, our expert technicians will slough off dead skin cells and vellus hair (peach hair) to reveal the soft and glowing skin beneath. The results are quite simply breathtaking. 

You can even include dermaplaning as part of a larger package. Clients often combine dermaplaning as an add-on with chemical peels and other procedures. Because dermaplaning removes the top layer of hair and dead skin, the deep cleansing products can absorb more readily into the skin. It’ll also mean fewer imperfections like fine lines, wrinkles, pigmentation irregularities, and pore size.
