Laser Hair Removal Q & A

What is laser hair removal?

Laser hair removal is a procedure that’s noninvasive and non-surgical, using laser energy and highly concentrated beams of light to damage hair follicles. In your hair shaft, the pigment absorbs the light and generates heat. This heat damages the follicle and stops hair growth.

Dr. Chin uses the highly effective, innovative MOTUS and Cutera Yag® laser hair removal systems to provide high-volume, permanent hair-reduction for a range of hair and skin types.

How do I prepare for a laser hair removal appointment?

Prior to your appointment, it’s important you avoid anything that could remove the root of your hair, such as plucking or waxing. You should also stay away from:

Chemical peels
Collagen injections
Perfumes and deodorants
Sunbathing and tanning beds
Anti-inflammatory drugs and herbal supplements

Laser hair removal is safe and effective for many different areas of the body; however, it's not suitable for areas around the eyes.

Some patients experience a mild, tolerable discomfort and many patients don’t experience any discomfort at all.

Dr. Chin takes time to discuss your goals and areas of concern and help you to decide if laser hair removal is right for you.

How many laser hair removal treatments will I need?

You’ll likely need multiple treatments. On average, most people need four to six treatments to experience noticeable and lasting results.

Dr. Chin might also recommend occasional maintenance treatments in the future.

Will I be a good candidate for laser hair removal?

Dr. Chin uses the best laser hair removal technologies which work on different hair colors and skin types, so most people are suitable for the treatment.

If you have certain skin or medical conditions, you might not be a good candidate. Dr. Chin will help you to decide if laser hair removal is right for you.
