Is routine hair removal wearing you out? Laser hair removal at Steffen Med Spa is a wonderful transformative procedure. Steffen Med Spa has one of the best if not the best system for laser hair removal on the market – Diolaze. The laser energy is delivered in short pulses to break up the pigment at the base of the hair follicle. It takes a few weeks for the treated hairs to fall out. Hairs in the growing phase are the only ones susceptible to laser removal. That’s why laser treatments are done in series, several weeks apart, to treat hairs in various stages of hair growth.

Men and women are candidates. Laser hair removal can work for a variety of hair color and skin tone combinations. However, it is most effective for dark hairs on a light background. Standard areas of interest are upper lip, armpits, bikini area, legs, chest, back, and neckbeard.

Patients need to be prepared to commit to a schedule to hit the hair follicles when they are susceptible. The procedure feels like a stinging sensation at the level of the follicles and the duration of the procedure depends on the size of the area treated. There is no downtime for laser hair removal. But be careful, laser makes the skin extra sensitive to sun damage!
