About laser hair removal

Laser hair removal is one of the most common cosmetic treatments in the United States. It is a convenient option for the long-term reduction of hair follicles on the body and face. Laser hair removal in Scottsdale frequently leaves the skin looking and feeling smoother and produces long-lasting results compared to other hair removal options. 

At Starkman Facial Plastic & Laser Surgery, in Scottsdale, we perform laser hair removal for women and men in frequently needed areas, including the legs, arms, back, face, chest, armpits, and intimate areas.

What to expect following laser hair removal

While the treatment is relatively gentle in nature, your skin may feel like it has a light sunburn afterward. After your session, you will be free to resume your daily activities, but you should refrain from heavy activity or lengthy exposure to the sun for a period of 24 hours to let the treated areas heal. When you get home after your appointment, we recommend anti-inflammatory creams or cold packs to treat any discomfort.

How much does laser hair removal cost?

Getting laser hair removal will vary in cost, depending on the size and number of areas being treated in addition to how many treatment sessions you will need to attain a smooth result. To understand the benefits of laser hair removal, it helps to consider the time and energy you are putting into waxing, shaving, or other temporary hair removal methods. This is why laser hair removal is generally cheaper and will save you time and energy in the long run. Your aesthetician will create a treatment plan for you that includes the total number of sessions we suggest and prices.

Is laser hair removal permanent?

Laser hair removal offers long-lasting hair reduction, but it’s not entirely permanent. While most treated follicles stop producing hair, some may be resistant or regenerate over time. However, any regrowth is typically finer and lighter. For best results, occasional touch-up sessions can help maintain smooth, hair-free skin.

Why do I need multiple laser hair removal sessions?

Hair grows in different cycles, and laser treatment is most effective when follicles are in their active growth phase. Since not all follicles are active at the same time, multiple sessions are needed to target each one at the right stage. Spreading treatments over several weeks ensures optimal results and a more even reduction in hair growth.

Does laser hair removal hurt?

Most patients experience a mild snapping sensation, similar to a rubber band against the skin. However, discomfort is minimal compared to waxing. To enhance comfort, a numbing cream can be applied before treatment. Many find the procedure quick and tolerable, making it a small trade-off for smooth, hair-free skin.

Will laser hair removal help with ingrown hairs?

Absolutely! Laser hair removal reduces and prevents ingrown hairs by targeting the follicle at the root, stopping hair from growing back in a way that causes irritation. This makes it a great option for those who experience frequent ingrown hairs from shaving or waxing.
