Woman's smooth legs after laser hair removalGrooming can be a tedious task for many, especially individuals who have a large amount of dark hair throughout the body. While waxing and shaving can remove hair, this is only a temporary solution, lasting 10 days at best. For those who are tired of that routine, laser hair reduction is an attractive option. In just a few treatment sessions, hair can be permanently removed or significantly reduced, improving the convenience of everyday life. Dr. Berardi performs laser hair reduction in Scottsdale to help patients look and feel their best, around the clock. If unwanted hair is causing you to feel uncomfortable or self-conscious, read below to learn more about laser hair reduction cost and what it can do for you.

What Is Laser Hair Reduction?

Laser hair reduction is a cosmetic procedure which uses laser technology to remove hair follicles, thereby eliminating or significantly reducing the presence of thick, coarse hair. Laser hair reduction is a welcomed alternative to other hair removal methods such as tweezing, shaving and waxing, which produce only temporary results.

Best Candidates for Laser Hair Reduction

Laser hair reduction is a non-invasive treatment. Most patients who wish to remove unwanted hair are able to undergo the procedure. If you suffer from skin disorders such as keloids, psoriasis or chronic acne, however, laser hair reduction is not recommended. The patients who see the fastest and best results from laser hair reductionl are those who have light skin and dark hair, as the laser can more easily identify and target the hair follicles. During an initial consultation, Dr. Berardi will examine your skin and overall health, and identify your cosmetic goals to determine if Scottsdale laser hair reduction is right for you.

What Body Parts Can Laser Hair Reduction Target?

This versatile treatment can be used on almost all parts of the body, including the arms, legs, back, face and bikini line.

Performing Laser Hair Reduction

Laser hair reduction is a minimally invasive procedure which is performed with the use of a local anesthetic or numbing cream. Your treatment time will vary based on the thickness of your hair as well as the size of the area being treated. Typically, treatment lasts about one hour. The laser will be run across the body, targeting the hair follicles while avoiding damage to the skin.

Will I Need Multiple Laser Hair Reduction Treatments?

It is important to note that laser hair reduction will only affect the hair follicles that are currently in the growth stage. Therefore, as other follicles enter the active stage, additional treatments are needed.

Is Laser Hair Reduction Painful?

Most patients who undergo Scottsdale laser hair reduction treatments may experience mild discomfort; some also report a “pinching” feeling.

Expectations For Laser Hair Reduction

Hair reduction is a non-invasive procedure which requires no post-treatment downtime. You may experience some redness on the area that was treated; however, this will subside within 24 hours. You should avoid sun exposure for at least one day after treatment so as not to irritate the skin. Dr. Berardi will provide complete post-treatment instructions to ensure that optimal results are achieved. He is available to address any questions or concerns that may arise after treatment. He will also see you for a follow-up appointment a few weeks after laser hair reduction to monitor progress and determine if another treatment session is necessary.
