Laser Hair Removal in North Texas

Laser hair removal is one of the top cosmetic treatments in the United States. It's an effective, long-term solution for removing unwanted hair on the face and body. It also has the added benefit of providing smoother, softer skin. At Cross Timbers ENT, our experts perform laser hair removal treatments for women and men in areas, such as the back, legs, arms, face, chest, and bikini line. If you're tired of using razors or hair creams, call our office in Arlington, Midlothian, or Mansfield to learn more about laser hair removal.

On the day of your appointment, we'll gently clean the treatment areas to remove oil, lotion, and makeup. A numbing agent is also usually used to provide the utmost comfort. Then, the handheld laser device will be applied directly to the skin to target hair follicles. Since hair grows in phases, we usually recommend 6 treatments to achieve the best results. While this procedure is fairly gentle, you may experience mild discomfort after your session. Redness and itching may be eased with OTC medication. 

How much does laser hair removal cost?
Laser hair removal varies in cost depending on the size and number of areas being treated, as well as how many treatment sessions you will need to attain a smooth result. To help put the cost of laser hair removal into perspective, think of the time and energy you are putting into shaving, waxing, or other temporary methods. By comparison, laser hair removal is generally more cost-effective and will save you energy and time long-term. Our team will develop a plan for you with the number of appointments recommended and costs.

Is laser hair removal permanent?
While you can enjoy the results of your treatment for many years, it's technically semi-permanent since some hair follicles may not be affected by the laser. However, patients find the majority of the hair will be dormant once their plan is done and if a few hairs are still growing, it is easier to deal with. More laser treatments can be needed to take care of any stragglers or new growth.

Why do I need multiple laser hair removal sessions?
Hair growth happens in cycles. While some follicles are growing, other follicles are resting. Since every hair follicle grows in various stages, several treatment sessions are needed to target each hair when it's growing. By scheduling your treatments over a few weeks, you can enjoy effective results and smoother skin.

Does laser hair removal hurt?
The process of laser hair removal can cause mild discomfort, but it is not a painful procedure. Most patients may feel a small sting when the laser zaps the hair follicle. We may apply a numbing ointment on the surface of the skin before the start of the treatment session. Most patients who have experience with waxing say that laser hair removal is much more comfortable compared to a waxing session.
