Laser Hair Removal in Schertz, TX
Laser hair removal is the most advanced hair removal technique in the world. It’s the ultimate remedy for unwanted hairs – and no one does it better than Alite Laser. Our Schertz, TX laser hair removal experience is as remarkable as all our other centers. We use two different cutting-edge lasers for different skin types. Candela Gentle LASE is perfect for lighter-toned skin, whereas Candela GentleYAG is optimized for darker tones.
In our capable hands, we can reduce the number of hair-producing follicles by 75 to 90%. The technique works through the hair’s pigmentation, heating up the hair follicle and preventing future growth. Because of this mechanism, the technique is unsuitable for lighter hairs (white, gray, red, or blonde).
If you’re interested in permanently reducing unwanted hairs, we offer a free consultation to discuss the procedure. We’ll answer all your questions and advise if this procedure is right for you.
Waxing
In Austin, we’re award-winning waxing specialists. Now, we’re bringing that same expertise for waxing to Schertz. We understand clients are often hesitant about waxing – they’ve had a bad experience. But, with our in-house techniques, we promise you’ll experience less discomfort and greater effectiveness than ever before.
We use two types of wax (strip wax and hard wax) to achieve our stunning results. We’ve had clients returning again and again – who once swore they’d never touch wax. We specialize in bikini waxing for women (especially Brazilians) and back waxing for men. Although we’ll wax anywhere you want us to, from your legs to your arms.
We also offer a special 1st session discount of $10. Trust us – our Schertz waxing experience is unlike any you’ve tried before.

Skin Rejuvenation
Tired of fine lines, wrinkles, pigmentation, and other blemishes? We offer a range of successful treatments to rejuvenate your skin. Whether you’re just turning 30 or your collagen levels are declining, we can advise the perfect procedure that’ll leave you looking at your absolute peak.
Dermaplaning, for example, is the hottest rejuvenation technique on the market. Our expert team carefully exfoliates the skin using a surgical blade to slough off dead skin and vellus hair (peach fuzz). In so doing, we reveal the soft and glowing skin hidden beneath. It’s an instant procedure that shaves years off your face – literally!
It also aids the absorption of other treatments –we often advise clients to add dermaplaning to other skin rejuvenating treatments for maximum effect.
Contact us today for a free consultation, and we’ll discuss the potential benefits for your skin.
Electrolysis
Electrolysis is the oldest form of permanent hair removal – it’s still effective, though. Our skilled team of technicians use it in cases of light or very fine hairs. It’s also useful for eyebrows, where lasers aren’t exact enough.
It works by inserting a tiny needle into the hair follicle. The needle is heated, permanently damaging the follicle, preventing future hair growth. Electrolysis is highly effective. However, multiple sessions are needed, as some hair follicles remain dormant at any one time.
To see if your unwanted hair needs laser or electrolysis, get in touch for a free consultation. Our staff are trained in deciding which treatment to go with, and they’re always ready to advise.

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
