Patient Guide
Laser Hair Removal
What is Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal is an advanced, non-invasive treatment that uses precisely targeted laser energy to eliminate unwanted hair at the follicle level. This technology destroys the hair root, preventing regrowth while leaving the surrounding skin unharmed. Unlike temporary hair removal methods such as shaving or waxing, laser hair removal offers long-lasting results and smoother skin.
At Midwest Vein & Laser, we utilize cutting-edge laser systems designed to safely and effectively treat all skin types, providing a comfortable experience with proven results.
Things to know about Laser Hair Removal
What areas can have hair removed?
- Face – Upper lip, chin, sideburns
- Arms & Underarms – Smooth, hair-free skin
- Legs – A lasting alternative to shaving
- Bikini & Brazilian – Eliminate irritation and ingrown hairs
- Back & Chest – Ideal for men seeking a cleaner look
How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
Laser hair removal works by directing high-energy light pulses into the hair follicle, where the pigment absorbs the laser energy and converts it into heat. This heat disables the follicle’s ability to grow hair, effectively preventing regrowth.
During treatment, the laser selectively targets hair while protecting the surrounding skin, making it safe and effective for various skin types. As hair grows in different cycles, multiple sessions are required to achieve optimal hair reduction. Most patients see a dramatic reduction in hair growth after a series of treatments, leading to long-term results.
Who is a Good Candidate for Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is ideal for individuals looking for a long-term solution to unwanted hair. The best candidates have dark hair and lighter skin tones, as the laser targets melanin (pigment) in the hair follicle. However, advancements in laser technology now allow for safe and effective treatments on a variety of skin types.
If you are tired of shaving, waxing, or dealing with painful ingrown hairs, this treatment may be right for you. A consultation at Midwest Vein & Laser will help determine the best approach for your skin and hair type.
What to Expect at Your Consultation
During your consultation, one of our skilled providers will assess your skin type and hair color to determine the best laser settings for your treatment. We will discuss your goals, expected results, and the number of sessions required for optimal hair reduction.
Your provider will also review pre-treatment instructions, such as avoiding sun exposure and certain skincare products before your session. This consultation ensures that you receive a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs while prioritizing your safety and comfort.
What to Expect During Your Treatment
On the day of your treatment, the area will be cleansed, and a cooling gel may be applied for comfort. You will be given protective eyewear before the laser is applied to the skin. The laser emits quick pulses of light, which may cause a mild warming or snapping sensation similar to a rubber band.
Most treatments take between 15 to 45 minutes, depending on the area being treated. After the session, you may experience mild redness or slight swelling, which typically subsides within a few hours. There is no downtime, and you can return to normal activities immediately. For best results, a series of treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart is recommended.
Tips for Recovery & Best Results
- Avoid Sun Exposure – Use sunscreen daily to protect treated areas.
- No Waxing or Plucking – Shaving is allowed, but avoid hair removal methods that remove the root.
- Stay Hydrated & Moisturize – Keep your skin hydrated and nourished for optimal healing.
