Laser Hair Removal

Laser Hair Removal

We can give you the smooth skin you’ve always wanted

We all have hair on our bodies that we wish we didn’t have. From arms to legs and many things inbetween, we spend hours shaving, waxing, and removing that unwanted hair.

But there is a better way …

A non-invasive treatment to remove unwanted hair, laser hair removal leaves your skin looking and feeling smoother and softer. Controlled pulses of light produce heat that is absorbed by the hair pigment and destroys hair follicles.

Large areas found on the back, shoulders, abdomen, and legs are treated rapidly while smaller facial areas like the lip, chin, and beard can be treated in minutes. The laser affects only hair follicles in the growth phase so more than one treatment will be necessary. Laser hair removal is FDA-approved with no downtime and minimal pain and discomfort.

Laser hair removal benefits :

1

It’s a long-term solution

2

Smooth skin

3

Save time from shaving or waxing

Typical Appointment Length: 

A lip or underarm treatment can be done in less than 10 minutes.

When will I see results?

Most people become 95 to 100% hair-free in treated areas in seven to 10 sessions. Intervals between sessions should be four to six weeks. In cases where no hair regenerates, the time between sessions can be longer.

How long do results last?

Hair is gone forever.

What can I expect from the procedure?

  • Light or white hair does not respond well to laser hair removal. Currently all laser manufacturers are looking for ways to improve light hair reduction.  
  • Not all of your hair will be successfully treated the first time. Only the hair that is in its active growing phase will be affected by the laser. For instance, only 20% of leg hair is growing at a given time. The more treatments you receive the more hair will be removed as hair cycles from the inactive to the active growing phase.  
  • Skin lotion is advisable to aid the exfoliation process. Up to two days after treatment the openings of hair follicles may secrete tissue liquid. This could result in “crusting”. This should be removed by normal washing and application of skin lotions.
  • It is possible that hairs are coming out up to seven to 10 days after treatment.  This is NOT regrowth!  
  • The length of time to get good results depends on factors such as color of hair, metabolic rate of growth, density of hair, location of hair, etc.
  • To achieve a satisfactory result, six to eight treatment sessions may be required, on average.
  • Intervals between sessions should be four to six weeks. In cases where no hair regenerates, the time between treatments can be longer.

Are there any Do’s and Don’t I should be aware of?

   DON’T

  • Do Not bleach or wax your hair prior to treatment.  
  • Do Not tweeze 

   DO

  • Do shave the area to be treated a day or two before treatment.
  • Do minimize your sun exposure (and especially avoid tanning salons) after the treatment because your skin is very sensitive to light energy for the next few days. Also tan skin causes the laser to not notice the dark hair within the follicle.
  • Do call us with any concerns, especially if the treated area is continuing to show pain or redness after 48 hours.

 What should I expect after treatment?

Some redness and slight swelling may be present in the area that has been treated. However, this should subside within a few hours. If any prolonged redness or swelling occurs, please consult your physician immediately. Keep the treated area clean, use at least SPF 40 sunscreen when going outdoors, and follow physician instructions carefully

Can all skin colors be treated?

Yes, all skin types from light to dark can be treated.

Can tanned skin be treated?

Yes, tanned skin can be treated safely. However, always inform your physician if you have been tanning, using tanning products, or have experienced prolonged exposure to the sun within the last three weeks. Your physician will then adjust your treatment regimen accordingly to give you the safest and most effective experience

I can’t believe the time that I save not having to pluck, tweeze, wax or deal with unwanted hair. My skin always feels smooth.

I started coming to the Medical Skin Care Center about six months ago for laser hair removal under my arms.

I have come about every six weeks and boy has it made a difference. I have had problems with infection in the hair follicles under my arms and also had an extreme amount of hair. The results have been fantastic. I no longer have the bump or infection and the amount of hair has decreased drastically. I wish I would have know about the services that are offered here locally years ago. I highly recommend the services and kind care at the Medical Skin Care Center.

I have gone to the Stellis Health Skin Care Center multiple times for Botox, Microderm and a laser procedure!

Over the last few months I have been trying the Obagi line and have great results with that, my dark spots have gotten significantly lighter. The manager Amy has been so helpful with helping me pick out the products that are right for me, and is so patient when I have tons of questions. The scheduling gals are also great, they help me get in on a timely manner!

I will definitely continue to use the products from them and will continue to go back for more procedures!

I have had Botox on my forehead and the lines around my eyes.

I also received Juvederm filler around my mouth. I am super pleased with my results. Sheila McIntire and Marie at Stellis Health Medical Skin were awesome to work with. Very professional, and answered all my questions. The procedure was painless and the results are fantastic. Will be going back to get more procedures at Stellis. I also want to send a special shout out to Amy the manager at the Skin care center. She answered all my questions about what products I should be using. She helped me decide to go with Obaji.

I could not be happier with my results. Thank you Stellis Health Skin Care, you are top notch!

I have had the best experience at the Medical Skin Care Clinic.

I had a lot of questions about the services and products that were offered. I was advised what might be a good option for services to best meet my needs and what I was trying to achieve. I ended up going with Botox and also the Juvederm filler. When I had the service done with Sheila McIntire, she explained everything to me and what to expect. I was very impressed with how she explained and her knowledge of the end results. I decided after the services to start a skin routine to help better my skin. Amy the supervisor of the skin clinic helped with all my questions and how to use them. I have been using the products for over a month and have seen improvements.

Overall I've had a fun and well-informed experience with the skincare clinic.
