Hair removal with a laser is a safe procedure that is suitable for most patients. At your consultation, you will go over your concerns, needs, and goals so we can decide if you are a good candidate for this treatment. Ideal candidates for laser hair removal treatments:

• Want to reduce facial or body hair
• Are tired of other hair removal methods (shaving, waxing, bleaching, depilatory creams)
• Have light skin and dark hair
• Are in good, overall physical health

At your appointment, you will lie in a private treatment room as the needed areas of your skin are washed to remove oil, dirt, and moisturizers. During laser hair removal, a team member at Clovis Laser Center will stretch out the skin to create a direct pathway between the hair follicle root and the laser. The laser beam will focus on and disable the hair follicle, which stops it from growing back. On average, you will need to get several treatments over a period of a month or more to get optimal results. Your appointments will be staggered to allow the treated areas time to recover. It also allows time for hair follicles that were in the dormant phase of growth to reach the active growth phase so the laser can be effective. The state-of-the-art technology we use at Clovis Laser Center targets only the hair follicle, preserving the skin and other tissue in the area being treated.

How much is laser hair removal?
Getting laser hair removal in Clovis, CA at Clovis Laser Center will vary in cost depending on the size of the treatment area, as well as the number of sessions recommended to attain a smooth result. To help put the cost of laser hair removal into perspective, consider the time and energy you are spending on waxing, shaving, or other hair removal methods. In comparison, laser hair removal is usually less expensive overall and can save you energy and time long-term.

Is laser hair removal permanent?
Considered an effective treatment, laser hair removal produces lasting improvements. The cutting-edge implementation of the Soprano ICE laser implements incredible results for you. While you can enjoy the benefits of the Soprano ICE laser hair removal procedure for many years, it is technically semi-permanent because some follicles may continue growing. However, patients find most of their hair follicles are gone once their laser hair treatment plan has concluded, and even if a few hairs pop up, it is easier to address. Additional laser hair removal treatments can also be scheduled to address any stragglers or new growth, as well.

Why do I need multiple laser hair removal sessions?
Your hair growth occurs in cycles. While some hair follicles are growing, others are dormant. Since every hair follicle is in a different stage, multiple sessions are typically needed to target each hair when it's growing. Getting your sessions over a few weeks helps you get incredible results and silky skin.

Does laser hair removal hurt?
Laser hair removal can cause mild discomfort, but it isn't considered painful. You will feel a small sting as the laser zaps each follicle. The "ICE" of our Soprano ICE technology ensures patient comfort while getting the treatment. However, we might use a local anesthetic to the surface of the skin prior to we start your treatment appointment for added comfort. Those patients who have been getting waxed may think that laser hair removal causes much less discomfort compared to waxing.
