WHAT IS LASER HAIR REMOVAL?
Laser hair removal is an advanced laser technique used to remove unwanted body hair. With laser energy, we can carefully heat and damage hair follicles in the desired treatment area. Once damaged, the hair follicles will no longer be able to grow hair. After treating all of the hair follicles in a given area, patients can achieve complete and long-lasting hair removal. At OptimalSelf MD, we use the Soprano Ice Platinum system for laser hair removal. This laser system offers a superior treatment experience with no discomfort, no downtime and efficacy for patients of almost all skin types. Our laser hair removal treatments are gentle enough for many different areas of the body, including:
- Arms
- Legs
- Back
- Abdomen
- Underarms
- Bikini Line & Brazilian
- Upper Lip
- And More
HOW MUCH DOES LASER HAIR REMOVAL COST?
At OptimalSelf MD, the cost of our laser hair removal treatments will vary depending on the size of the treatment area. To determine the cost of your laser hair removal treatment, we recommend that you schedule a consultation as a first step at no charge. As part of the consultation, we’ll develop a personalized treatment plan and explain your laser hair removal cost. Then, payment can be made by cash, check or credit card. We also work with CareCredit® to offer our patients financing options.
WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR LASER HAIR REMOVAL?
If you are interested in achieving a long-term reduction in unwanted body hair, you may be a good candidate for laser hair removal. The Soprano Ice Platinum laser system is safe for all hair types and skin tones, including those with dark or tanned skin. Furthermore, the gentle treatment requires no downtime, making it easy for most patients to fit into their lifestyle. However, the best way to determine your candidacy for laser hair removal is to schedule a consultation with one of our laser technicians at OptimalSelf MD.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT DURING LASER HAIR REMOVAL?
The laser hair removal treatment with the Soprano Ice Platinum system is virtually painless. This is paired with contact cooling to enhance patient comfort. To perform treatment, we’ll use a designated handpiece to deliver laser energy to the desired treatment area, heating hair follicles. Although the exact duration of treatment will depend on the size of the treatment area, treatments usually last less than 30 minutes.
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE FOR ME TO RECOVER FROM LASER HAIR REMOVAL?
Laser hair removal with the Soprano Ice Platinum system requires no downtime or recovery period. You’ll be able to return to your usual activities immediately after treatment. You may experience some temporary redness or sensitivity in the skin, but these symptoms typically fade within a few days. In the weeks following treatment, the body will shed hair from the treatment areas. Keep in mind that because the body grows hair in different phases, multiple treatment sessions every 4-6 weeks will be necessary to achieve complete hair removal in a given area. During your consultation, we’ll discuss the number of treatments that you will require.
