What Laser Hair Removal Covers
Laser hair removal can get rid of unwanted hair all over your body, including the:
- Upper lip
- Space between your eyebrows
- Chin
- Neck
- Back
- Arms and under arms
- Legs
- Bikini area
In the past, only people with dark hair and light skin tones were eligible candidates for safe laser hair removal, but advancements in technology have changed that. During your consultation, our medical spa staff will determine if you’re a good candidate for laser hair removal or if another hair removal treatment would be more effective.
Your hair growth will be permanently reduced after your laser sessions, so you won't have to continually spend your money on other hair removal alternatives.

FAQ About Laser Hair Removal in Reno, NV
How long until I see results?
It will take several sessions before most patients see the long-term hair reduction they are hoping for. Each laser session will target your hair follicles at different stages of their growth. After a series of laser sessions, you will notice the follicles can no longer produce hair, or they will only produce very fine, thin hair.
Am I a good candidate for laser hair removal?
Most people who are tired of unwanted body hair are good candidates for laser hair removal. This laser procedure is safe for men and women of all colors. The procedure typically works best on those with darker hair. Laser hair removal cannot be performed on skin with wounds, rashes, or other concerns; these will first need to heal. The best way to know if you are a good candidate for laser hair removal is to set up a consultation at our Reno, NV, office.
Are there any side effects to laser hair removal?
It's normal to have some redness and swelling immediately following your treatment, but it should subside within a few hours. More adverse side effects like skin pigmentation changes, burns, blisters, and infections are very rare. A board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. James E. Murphy will know how to reduce the risk of these side effects by customizing your treatment.
Will my hair grow back? Do I need touch-up appointments?
Following your initial treatments, you may experience hair regrowth in a few months to a few years, though hairs are typically finer, thinner, slower-growing, and significantly more sparse. We recommend one to two touch-up sessions each year or as needed to maintain your results.
