Am I A Candidate For Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is a safe treatment that is helpful for most individuals. At your initial consultation, you will discuss your concerns, needs, and goals to help decide if you should get the procedure. Ideal patients for laser hair removal treatments:

  • Want to reduce hair on their face or body
  • Want to stop using other techniques for hair removal (shaving, waxing, bleaching, depilatory creams)
  • Have light skin and dark hair
  • Are in good overall health

What Can I Expect from Laser Hair Removal?

While the treatment is mostly gentle in nature, the treated areas of your skin may feel like it has a slight sunburn due to the use of the Harmony XL PRO laser. After your session, you will be able to go back to your daily activities, but you should refrain from exercise or lengthy exposure to the sun for about 24 hours to let the treated skin heal. Following your treatment, we suggest applying soothing creams or ice packs to alleviate any mild discomfort you might have.

About Us
How much does laser hair removal cost?

A laser hair removal treatment varies in cost based on the size of the treatment area, in addition to the number of sessions recommended to attain a smooth result. To help you understand the benefits of laser hair removal, think of the time and energy you are putting into waxing, shaving, or other methods. In comparison, laser hair removal is typically less expensive overall and can save you energy and time in the long run. Dr. Walter Jones III will create a custom treatment plan with the number of appointments you need and prices.

Is laser hair removal permanent?
Laser hair removal is an effective treatment for long-lasting results. While you can enjoy the benefits of the treatment for an extended amount of time, laser hair removal is technically semi-permanent because some hair follicles may continue growing. However, patients find the majority of the hair follicles will be gone after their treatment plan is done and if stray hairs are still growing, it is easier to deal with. More laser hair removal treatments may also be needed to take care of any stragglers or new growth.
Does laser hair removal hurt?
Your laser hair removal session at WJ3Med may cause minor discomfort, but it isn't considered a painful procedure. Most patients will feel a small sting when the laser zaps each hair follicle. We can also use a local anesthetic on the surface of the skin prior to the start of the treatment. For patients who are used to getting waxed, they have shared that laser hair removal feels more comfortable compared to a normal waxing session.
What should I wear to my laser hair removal appointment?

When you come to WJ3Med for your laser hair removal session, it's best to wear loose, comfortable clothing. This makes exposing the treatment area easier, while ensuring you remain comfortable both during and after the procedure. Tight clothing may irritate the treated skin, so choosing softer, breathable fabrics can enhance your comfort.

Can I go out in the sun after getting laser hair removal?

After your laser hair removal treatment, Dr. Walter Jones III advises avoiding direct sun exposure on the treated areas for at least two weeks. Sun exposure can sensitize the skin further and lead to complications such as sunburns or discoloration. If you need to go outdoors, it's crucial to apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher to protect your skin and maintain the results of your treatment.

How should I prepare for my laser hair removal session?

Preparation for laser hair removal involves several steps to ensure the safety and efficacy of the treatment. Dr. Walter Jones III recommends that patients avoid plucking, waxing, and electrolysis for six weeks before their treatment, as these hair removal methods can disturb the hair follicle and interfere with laser hair removal. It's also important to avoid sun exposure, which can affect the effectiveness of the laser treatment and increase the risk of complications.
