Laser Hair Removal Q&A

What is laser hair removal?

Laser hair removal at Evolve MD Wellness & Aesthetics MedSpa uses advanced Candela GentleMax Pro Plus® laser technology to destroy unwanted hair follicles and remove facial or body hair permanently. The procedure is painless yet highly effective for eliminating undesirable hair in men and women.

Which areas does laser hair removal treat?

Laser hair removal helps get rid of bothersome hair in the following areas:

  • Upper lip
  • Face
  • Neck
  • Shoulder
  • Chest
  • Abdomen
  • Back
  • Underarms
  • Arms
  • Butt
  • Bikini area
  • Legs
  • Calves

The treatment can eliminate hair from nearly anywhere except your eyelids. The Evolve MD Wellness & Aesthetics MedSpa experts are highly skilled, as they have many years of experience completing laser hair removal. 

Is laser hair removal right for me?

While laser hair removal often works best on lighter skin and darker hair, it’s safe and effective for all skin types. To determine which treatment is best for you, the Evolve MD Wellness & Aesthetics MedSpa team discusses your medical history, examines unwanted hair, and reviews your cosmetic goals. 

How can I prepare for my treatment?

In preparation for laser hair removal, it’s important to follow your specialist’s instructions. Protect your skin from the sun, avoid other hair removal methods, and shave the treatment area the day before your scheduled appointment if asked to. Don’t use sunless tanning lotions.

What happens during laser hair removal?

Before laser hair removal, your provider numbs the treatment area to maximize comfort. Using a hand-held device, they emit laser energy into specific hair follicles to destroy them while you relax. You can wear goggles to protect your eyes. Depending on the size of the areas treated, each session might last a few minutes or up to an hour or longer. 

What can I expect after laser hair removal?

Treated skin may be tender, swollen, or red after laser hair removal treatments. Over time, as treated hair completes its growth cycle, the hair begins to shed. Your Evolve MD Wellness & Aesthetics MedSpa provider lets you know when to schedule the next laser hair removal treatment to achieve long-lasting results.
