Laser hair removal: What to expect during your treatment

Are you prepped and ready for your first laser hair removal treatment?

Here’s what you can expect from the experience, courtesy of your friends at the Skin Center at Southgate Medical Group.

 

Cool and comfortable.

To provide the coolest and most comfortable experience, our laser hair removal technology has a built-in cooling system that will cool your skin upon contact. This occurs before and during your treatment, so even though lasers will permeate the skin to heat up your hair follicles and prevent growth, you will not feel a burning sensation on the surface of your skin. 

Fast fact: For most patients, laser hair removal is much less painful than other forms of hair removal, such as waxing.

Proper eye protection.

At the Skin Center at Southgate Medical Group, your health, safety, and satisfaction are our priority. During a laser hair removal procedure, everyone must wear protective eyewear. This includes you, our trained medical staff, and anyone else who may be in the treatment room (such as a friend or relative who may be present to provide emotional support).

Fast fact: Our SPLENDOR X laser hair removal system combines two types of lasers—Alexandrite and Nd:YAG wavelengths—to provide fast, effective, and comfortable treatments.

Nice and easy.

Want to chat about your favorite show during your treatment? We can do that! Assuming we’re not removing hair from your face, of course. And if you’d prefer to sit quietly while we take care of you, that’s cool, too. The best part about coming into The Skin Center—apart from achieving long-lasting, satisfying results—is kicking back with a talented yet friendly crew of medical pros who make the actual treatment process as relaxed as possible. 

Fast fact: Almost everyone who wants to have laser hair removal treatment is a good candidate to do so! All are welcome at the Skin Center at Southgate Medical Group!
