Laser Hair Reduction

When you visit Scottsdale Skin Boutique & Dermatology for Laser Hair Reduction, our laser certified technician will first examine your skin and discuss your skin goals to determine if the treatment is a good fit. Your skin will be cleansed and you will wear protective eyewear to shield your eyes from the bright light of the laser. Next, a generous layer of cooling gel will be applied to the area before treatment starts. Our expert technician will hold your skin taut while treating with the laser handpiece. The length of each appointment will vary depending on the area being treated. Once the treatment is complete, all remaining gel will be removed, and the area will be wiped clean. Most patients report minimal to no discomfort during treatment.

It is possible that you might notice redness and slight swelling for the first few hours after your Laser Hair Reduction treatment. To reduce any discomfort, you may apply ice to the treated area. Avoid direct sunlight and apply your sunscreen daily.

The best candidate for a Laser Hair Reduction treatment is an adult with a lighter skin tone and darker hair. The laser needs to see a contrast in color between your skin and the unwanted hair that is being treated. However, darker skin tones can also be successfully treated. You will need to avoid sun exposure and self-tanning products within two weeks prior to any treatment.

The cost of your Laser Hair Reduction treatment at Scottsdale Skin Boutique & Dermatology will vary depending upon your personalized treatment design. Our expert aesthetic team will work closely with you to create a plan that reflects your unique goals. For your convenience, Scottsdale Skin Boutique & Dermatology also offers financing options through CareCredit. We encourage you to schedule a consultation with our expert aesthetic providers at your earliest convenience to discuss how we can help you achieve the results you desire.
