Precision Laser Hair Removal With Criswell & Criswell Plastic Surgery & Medspa

The results of our laser hair removal technique are long-lasting because the laser targets your hair bulb (where your hair growth originates). The laser hair removal procedure generally requires only a few minutes, depending on the size of the treated area. For optimal results, patients should undergo at least 6-8 treatments that are generally spaced 4-6 weeks apart.

Recovery and Results

After laser hair removal, no medication or bandages are necessary. Patients may experience some swelling, redness, or discomfort for the first few hours, but these effects typically fade within 24 hours. Between treatments, you should not wax or tweeze hairs. Please be sure to avoid long durations of sun exposure or tanning booths before coming in for consultation or treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions Laser Hair Removal

Does laser hair removal work on all hair types?

Laser hair removal works best on darker, coarse hair. Lighter hair, such as gray, blonde, or red, may not respond as effectively due to lower pigment levels.

Is laser hair removal safe for men’s facial hair?

Yes, laser treatments can safely reduce or thin facial hair, but complete removal is less common. Many men choose it to soften beard density or reduce ingrown hairs.

How many treatments will I need for full results?

Most men need between six and eight sessions, spaced several weeks apart, to achieve lasting results. The number depends on hair thickness, color, and treatment area.

Can I shave before a laser hair removal session?

Yes, shaving is recommended. The laser targets the hair follicle below the skin. Avoid waxing or plucking, as these remove the follicle and reduce effectiveness.

Will laser hair removal affect sweat or body odor?

No, the procedure does not interfere with sweat glands or alter body odor. It only targets hair follicles, leaving the surrounding skin and functions unaffected.

Are there risks for men with laser hair removal?

Risks are minimal but can include redness, temporary irritation, or slight swelling. Rarely, changes in skin pigmentation or blistering may occur if aftercare instructions are not followed.

Can I exercise after a laser session?

It’s best to avoid intense workouts for 24 hours. Heat and sweat may irritate treated skin, so allow the area to cool and calm before resuming activity.

Is laser hair removal permanent for men?

Laser hair removal provides long-lasting reduction, but occasional touch-ups may be needed. Most men experience a significant and lasting decrease in hair growth over time.
