Reducing hair follicle growth with a laser is a safe treatment that is effective for many individuals. At your consultation, we will discuss your concerns, needs, and goals to help determine if you should get this treatment. Ideal candidates for laser hair removal:

• Want to reduce hair on their face or body
• Are tired of other techniques for hair removal (waxing, shaving, bleaching, depilatory creams)
• Have darker hair
• Are in good, overall physical health

Right after treatment, your skin may appear red and swollen, similar to a sunburn. This is short term and will last only a few hours. During this time, you should avoid heat and sweat (no exercise, sauna, or increased activity). Wear loose clothing to prevent irritation in the treated area. During the course of laser treatment, always wear SPF 30 or higher and wear protective clothing if you need to be outdoors. You should use gentle skin care products. Four to six weeks after your treatment as the new hair growth cycle begins, it’s time for your next session to target more hair follicles. n the day of your laser hair removal appointment, you will lie in one of our treatment rooms as the needed areas of your skin are cleaned to eliminate oil, dirt, and lotions. During laser hair removal, a technician will smooth out the area to create a direct pathway between the laser and the hair follicle root. The energy from the laser will target and destroy the follicle, preventing it from growing again. On average, you will need to get several sessions over a period of a month or more to see your ideal results. On average you will need 6 to 8 sessions scheduled over a period of several weeks to see your ideal results. This also allows time for follicles in the dormant phase to cycle into the active growth stage to be treated. The state-of-the-art technology we use at Botox & Co. can target the hair follicle alone, which preserves the skin and other tissue in the treated areas. -
