Is Laser Hair Removal really worth it?

Men and women of all ages experience unwanted hair at some point in their life.  Whether it’s struggling with painful ingrown hairs, the discomfort of razor burn, or just the tedious process of shaving, waxing and tweezing on a weekly or even daily basis.  Break free from your hair removal routine and enjoy smooth, silky skin every day, all year long with one of Infinity Skin Care’s most popular treatments, Laser Hair Removal!

But wait, is it even safe? Doesn’t it hurt? Does it actually work? We have gathered our most commonly asked questions and asked our laser hair removal experts directly.

  1. Does it work?
    Yes! Our Vectus® Laser is effective on a wide range of skin and hair types, including fair and darker complexions, as well as red and even some blonde hair colors. Many of our patients who start with a small area like upper lip or chin see great results after just a few treatments and end up adding other larger treatment areas like bikini, underarms or legs to their next sessions.
  2. Is it safe?
    Yes! Our Vectus® Laser is a clinically-proven and FDA-cleared technology that specifically targets and destroys cells responsible for hair growth without harming surrounding skin.
    We have happy Laser Hair Removal patients of all ages, from middle school age and up!
  3. Does it hurt?
    Our Vectus® Laser includes Advanced Contact Cooling™ to help protect the epidermis and to help keep patients comfortable throughout treatment.  Our patients find this treatment to be very manageable and more comfortable than waxing.
  4. Can I treat my whole body?
    Yes! Vectus® Laser Hair removal can treat all areas of the body, excluding around the eyes though we can still safely offer treatment of the brow area. Vectus® offers the largest spot size on the market, making treatments of large, high volume areas such as the legs and back, very quick and virtually painless.
  5. Is there downtime?
    No! You can resume regular daily activities immediately following treatment. As always, protect your skin with sunscreen!
  6. How long does it take? And when do I see results?
    Sessions take just a few minutes for small areas and approximately 30 minutes for larger.  Some patients will begin to notice a change in hair growth even after 1 or 2 treatments, though maximum results are achieved in 4-10 treatments 4-8 weeks apart. Results are permanent.
  7. Is it really worth it?
    Infinity patients love the freedom and liberation laser hair removal gives them! From care-free, hair-free vacations on the beach to shaving time off morning routines to eliminating painful ingrown hairs to simply enjoying smoother, flawless product and makeup applications, it’s no wonder why Laser Hair Removal is one of our most-popular skin care services. Infinity Skin Care features special offers on Laser Hair Removal throughout the year.
