What Areas Can I Get Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is possible almost anywhere that you have unwanted hair. It is important to note that laser hair removal can only work if the laser can identify the hairs against your skin. Therefore, for individuals with light hair, using a laser may not be the most effective hair removal treatment. Additionally, lasers can cause pigmentation issues in those with darker skin tones, however, your master esthetician can help determine if your skin is compatible with laser treatments. They can also often prevent skin discoloration with the use or prior skin care protocols.
When it comes to the areas of the body possible to treat with laser hair reduction in an ideal candidate, the possibilities are pretty much endless. Among the possible treatment areas include:
- Chin
- Lip
- Areola
- Arms
- Legs
- Bikini area
- Underarm
- Cheeks
- Chest
How Much Does laser hair removal cost?
Laser hair removal prices at Seattle Plastic Surgery depend on the amount of treatments and the size of the treatment areas. For a small area (lip, chin, areola), four treatments costs $119, a medium area (underarm, bikini, cheeks, among others) is $299 for four treatments, and a large area (legs, back, chest, among others) is $429 for four sessions.
Your master esthetician can perform laser hair reduction on multiple areas and can provide an accurate estimate of pricing for your Seattle laser hair removal procedures during a free consultation.
Does laser hair removal hurt?
Most laser hair removal patients do not feel any pain or discomfort during treatment. It is possible to feel a slight sensation during treatment, but patients typically do not require any anesthetics.
As long as you are a good candidate, you should not feel major pain. You can discuss your concerns with your master esthetician at your consultation. They can accurately determine how laser hair removal will interact with your skin type and tone.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
At Seattle Plastic Surgery, we offer laser hair removal in packages of four because we have found that this protocol has yielded the best results for our patients. However, every body is unique and may require fewer or additional treatments. Based on your skin type and hair, your master esthetician may be able to provide with a rough estimation of how many sessions you will need.
Once you finish your hair removal regimen, you can expect to see a reduction or cessation of hair growth in the treatment area. You may choose to seek yearly supplemental treatments if you want, but often you can enjoy long lasting results after your initial round of treatments.
