What is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is a safe and effective treatment that permanently removes unwanted hair anywhere on the body for smoother skin.

The treatments work by targeting hair follicles. The laser detects melanin, or dark pigmentation, in the follicles, then applies pulses of light to the roots to destroy them.

The best part about laser hair removal is that it’s a simple, non-invasive treatment that destroys hair follicles in minutes. It also doesn’t cause stubble, bumps, shadow, or irritation that shaving can leave behind.

Laser Hair Removal FAQs

Anyone who wants to permanently reduce or remove unwanted body hair should consider laser hair removal.

Laser hair removal specifically targets melanin pigment to produce long-term hair reduction. While it is designed for all skin types, coarse, dark hair responds best. Those with lighter, blonde, or white hair may not find laser treatments as effective, since the lasers will not be able to detect the hair follicles.

However, this treatment is safe for all skin types, skin tones, and hair colors. No matter what combination of skin tone and hair color you have, we can work with you to come up with a personalized solution.

Common skin conditions like folliculitis and ingrown hairs often respond well to this treatment.

Laser hair removal cost ranges between $75 – $100 for small areas, $100 – $275 for medium areas, and $225– $500+ for larger areas such as the legs or back.

During your consultation, we will further discuss estimated cost and expected results based on your hair/skin type, as well as the number of areas treated and your overall reduction goals.

Laser hair removal is extremely common and widely offered. While there may be cheaper places to purchase laser hair removal, we believe that you truly get what you pay for. Choosing a provider based simply on the lowest cost can have irreversible and painful consequences.

Don’t throw your money away with a “discount” laser hair removal procedure that doesn’t work. Trust the skincare experts at Dermatology & Laser of Alabama to help you achieve smooth, hair-free skin.

The total number of treatments necessary is directly tied to your specific goals (e.g., moderate thinning to near-complete reduction).

Successful laser hair removal is scheduled around your hair growth cycles, and usually requires 6-8 sessions total.

Normally, a series of treatments is administered at four to eight-week intervals, depending upon the location of the hair. After each treatment, you will see thinning and a reduction of unwanted hair. Patients with lighter and/or finer hairs may require a few additional treatments.

Following the initial series of treatments, subsequent treatments are administered at longer and longer intervals. Maintenance treatments may be needed over time for near-permanent results.

A single laser hair removal session often takes just under 30 minutes with no downtime. This means you could even come in for a laser treatment session during your lunch break!

Patients who choose laser hair removal report feeling sensations in the area similar to pinpricks, especially where there is thinner skin, like the bikini line and underarm areas.

Important things to know before treatment:

  • We ask that patients shave the treatment area prior to their scheduled visit.
  • Avoid using sunless tanning products around the treatment area. If you spray tan, be sure that your tan has completely faded to your natural skin tone.
  • Do not wax, pluck, or bleach hair.
