At Living Water Vein Institute & Medical Spa, we believe smooth, radiant skin should be easy to maintain. That's why we offer advanced laser hair removal for long-lasting results without the irritation of shaving or waxing.
Whether you visit our Abingdon, VA, or Johnson City, TN, offices to treat spider or varicose veins or remove unwanted hair, your skin deserves expert care from a team that understands how to support healthy circulation and achieve glowing results.
How Laser Hair Removal Works
Laser hair removal utilizes focused light energy to target and deactivate hair follicles, thereby reducing hair growth over time.
The laser emits a beam of light, and the pigment inside your hair follicle absorbs it. That energy damages destroys the pigment, breaking it into many tiny pieces that your body flushes out over the coming weeks and months. This process also heats and damages the hair follicle walls, which keeps the follicle from growing new hair.Â
Is Laser Hair Removal Permanent?
While results vary, most patients see long-term hair reduction after a short series of treatments. Maintenance sessions may be needed, but many areas become virtually hair-free.
Benefits vs. other methods
Compared to shaving, waxing, or plucking, laser hair removal stands out.
- More precise
- Longer-lasting
- Gentler on the skin
- Excellent for those prone to ingrown hairs or skin sensitivity
- Saves time compared to daily shaving or frequent waxing
Although laser hair removal requires a larger initial investment, it's more cost-effective in the long run. The average woman spends over $8,000 in her lifetime on shaving products, making laser hair removal a more cost-effective option overall.
Good Candidates For Laser Over Time Hair Removal
Laser hair removal works best on individuals with lighter skin and darker hair. However, we use the latest, advanced technology here at Living Water Vein Institute & Medical Spa and can now treat a wider range of skin tones.
Laser hair removal can't treat white or grey hair, so we recommend scheduling it before you start to grey.
Many patients with PCOS or hormonal hair growth ask about laser hair removal. It can be a game-changer, greatly reducing stubborn hair overgrowth and making it far more manageable.
Treatment Areas
Laser hair removal can treat a range of areas, including:
- Face
- Underarms
- Legs
- Arms
- Chest
- Back
- Bikini area
Men and women may target different areas. Men tend to target the chest and back, while women often treat the legs, underarms, and bikini area.
Regardless of your goals, our approach is always discreet, personalized, and centered on your comfort. We offer pain-minimizing options, making treatments quick and easy to administer.
Preparing for Laser Hair Removal
We provide pre-treatment instructions. We usually recommend shaving the day before and arriving with clean, product-free skin.
To avoid complications, it's best to avoid sun exposure, waxing, plucking, and using harsh chemical exfoliants in the weeks leading up to your appointment.
After your session, you may have mild redness, but this usually fades quickly. We'll also provide you with comprehensive aftercare guidelines.
