Laser hair removal is a procedure that quickly, effectively and safely removes unwanted
hair. The light from the laser causes the hair to fall out by damaging the hair follicle.
Frequently Ask Questions About Laser Hair Removal
The number of treatments needed varies, depending on the patient’s skin color and hair type. However, studies have shown that most people will be able to get long-term hair reduction after six treatments. It is important to note that hair grows in phases, and this treatment is only effective during the growth phase.
Most treatments are spaced between three and eight weeks apart from one another.
Generally speaking, small areas of the body can be treated more frequently than larger
areas.
No. Laser hair removal permanently reduces hair growth, but it does not stop the hair
from growing completely. That is why you will need to visit Dr. Zieg every few months for
maintenance treatments so that the treated areas can remain hairless.
It is common for patients to experience a temporary redness in the treated areas. This
usually goes away within a few hours.
The cost of laser hair removal is contingent upon the size of the area that is treated, how
many areas are being treated and the number of treatments that you will need. Call Dr. Zieg
