Laser hair removal works by targeting the pigment in the hair, so it is most effective on dark, coarse hair. Thanks to the Elysion Pro’s multi-wavelength technology, treatment is safe and effective across all skin tones, including darker complexions that were historically limited with older laser systems. Light blonde, red, gray, and white hair contain little pigment and do not respond well to laser treatment.

laser hair removal may be a good fit if you:

  • Are looking for long-term reduction of unwanted hair on the face or body
  • Deal with ingrown hairs, razor bumps, or chronic irritation from shaving or waxing
  • Are committed to completing a full treatment series for best results
  • Are interested in treating areas such as the face, underarms, legs, bikini line, back, or chest
  • Are not currently pregnant, actively tanning, or taking photosensitizing medications
  • Have not used isotretinoin (Accutane) within the past six months
  • Are able to stop waxing, plucking, and depilatory creams for 6 weeks before treatment

what to expect

before your appointment

Stop waxing, plucking, threading, and depilatory creams at least 6 weeks before treatment. The laser targets the hair root, so it needs to be intact. Shaving is fine and is actually required: shave the treatment area the day before your appointment, not the day of. Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and self-tanner for 2 weeks beforehand, and pause strong skincare products such as retinoids or lightening agents about a week ahead. Arrive with clean, dry skin free of makeup, deodorant, lotions, and perfume.

during your treatment

Your provider confirms your settings based on your skin tone and hair type, and you will wear protective eyewear. The laser delivers pulses of light that the hair pigment absorbs, converting it to heat that damages the follicle. Most patients describe a quick snapping sensation, and cooling helps with comfort. Sessions run from about 10 minutes for a small area such as the upper lip to closer to an hour for larger areas like full legs.

after each session

Redness and warmth in the treated area are normal on the first day, and mild swelling or a pink tone may last another day. Any bruising or redness continues to fade over the following days. Treated hairs shed over the next one to three weeks, which can look like regrowth but is the hair working its way out. Avoid sun exposure for at least 2 weeks and use a broad-spectrum zinc oxide sunscreen, SPF 30 or higher, on any treated area that is exposed. Sun exposure too soon after treatment increases the risk of darkening or irritation.

your treatment timeline

Sessions are scheduled about 4 weeks apart, because hair grows in cycles and the laser only affects hairs in the active growth phase. Most patients need six or more sessions to see significant reduction, which is why treatment is sold in packages of 6 or 12. You should notice progressively less hair, finer texture, and slower regrowth as you move through the series. Occasional maintenance sessions help keep results consistent over time.

laser hair removal cost considerations

Laser hair removal is priced by treatment area and by the length of each session, so a small area such as the upper lip costs considerably less than a full-leg treatment. Because most patients need a series, treatment is sold in packages of 6 or 12 sessions rather than one appointment at a time. Touch-up sessions after your series are priced by the same session length as your original package. Your provider will give you a personalized estimate during your consultation, based on the areas you want to treat.

  • Packages are available in 6 or 12 sessions
  • Larger packages lower the per-session cost
  • Pricing depends on the number and size of the areas treated
  • Touch-up sessions are available after your series is complete
  • Not covered by insurance, as this is a cosmetic treatment
  • Third-party financing is available
  • Package pricing is available periodically through our specials

common laser hair removal questions

FAQ
what does laser hair removal cost in austin?

Pricing depends on the areas treated and the length of each session, and treatment is sold in packages of 6 or 12 sessions. Larger packages lower the per-session cost. Your provider will walk you through a personalized estimate during your consultation.

how many sessions will i need, and how long does each one take?

Most patients need six or more sessions, scheduled about 4 weeks apart, because hair grows in cycles and only actively growing hairs respond to treatment. Each session takes anywhere from 10 to 60 minutes depending on the size of the area.

is laser hair removal permanent?

Laser hair removal provides long-term hair reduction rather than permanent removal. Most patients see a significant, lasting decrease in hair growth, with remaining hair growing back finer and lighter. Occasional maintenance sessions help keep results consistent.

is laser hair removal safe for darker skin tones?

Yes. We use the Elysion Pro, an FDA-cleared diode laser with multi-wavelength technology that treats all skin tones safely, including Fitzpatrick types IV through VI. Your provider selects settings based on your specific skin tone and hair type.

does laser hair removal work on blonde, red, or gray hair?

Laser hair removal targets the pigment in the hair, so it works best on dark, coarse hair. Light blonde, red, gray, and white hair contain little pigment and generally do not respond well. Your provider will assess your hair during your consultation.

does laser hair removal hurt?

Most patients describe a quick snapping sensation with each pulse, similar to a rubber band. Treatment is well tolerated, and cooling helps with comfort. Sensitive areas such as the upper lip and bikini line tend to be more noticeable than larger areas like the legs.

how should i prepare for my laser hair removal appointment?

Stop waxing, plucking, and depilatory creams at least 6 weeks before treatment, since the laser needs an intact hair root to target. Shave the area the day before, not the day of. Avoid tanning and self-tanner for 2 weeks beforehand, and arrive with clean, dry skin free of makeup, deodorant, and lotions.

what should i expect after my laser hair removal treatment?

Redness and warmth are normal on the day of treatment, and mild swelling may last a day or two. Treated hairs shed over the following one to three weeks. Avoid sun exposure for at least 2 weeks afterward and use a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher on treated areas.

can laser hair removal help with ingrown hairs and razor bumps?

Yes. By reducing hair growth at the follicle, laser treatment often provides significant relief from ingrown hairs, razor bumps, and the irritation that comes with repeated shaving or waxing. Many patients come to us for this reason rather than hair reduction alone.

what laser do you use for hair removal?

We use the Elysion Pro, an FDA-cleared diode laser with multi-wavelength technology. It allows our providers to adjust treatment to your skin tone and hair type, which is what makes treatment safe across all skin tones.
