What is laser hair removal?

Laser hair removal at Serenity Medical Spa uses concentrated light energy to target and destroy hair follicles without invasive measures. Because your hair grows in cycles, it usually takes multiple sessions to effectively treat each follicle during its active growth phase. 

Over time, this leads to finer, lighter hair and often long-lasting hair reduction.

What areas can laser hair removal treat?

Versatility is one of the biggest advantages of laser hair removal. It can safely and effectively treat both small and large areas of the body, including:

• Face (upper lip, chin, sideburns)
• Underarms
• Arms and legs
• Bikini line and Brazilian area
• Back and chest

Whether you’re looking to clean up a small area or treat a larger zone, Dr. Gertzman can customize the treatment plan to suit your needs.

How effective is laser hair removal?

Laser hair removal is most effective in a series of treatments. Most patients experience a significant reduction in hair growth after completing their recommended sessions.

Hair that does grow back is typically finer, lighter, and much less noticeable. You may also find that it helps reduce ingrown hairs and skin irritation caused by shaving or waxing.

While results can be long-lasting, you may need occasional maintenance sessions to keep the area smooth.

What can I expect at my laser hair removal appointment?

If it’s your first appointment, Dr. Gertzman starts with a consultation to assess your skin type, hair color, and treatment goals. This helps ensure she uses the safest and most effective settings.

Once you’re wearing protective eyewear, Dr. Gertzman applies the laser device to the targeted area. You may feel a quick snapping, comparable to a light rubber band snap, or a warming sensation with each pulse. Dr. Gertzman responds to your needs to keep you comfortable.

After your hair removal, there’s little to no downtime. You might notice some mild redness or sensitivity, similar to a light sunburn, but this usually fades within a few hours. Hair will gradually shed over the following days to weeks, and you can return for additional sessions spaced several weeks apart.

Laser hair removal is a safe, effective way to enjoy smoother skin and simplify your routine. Call the office or book your visit with Serenity Medical Spa online today.
