Laser Hair Removal In Houston
Laser hair removal is one of the most advanced, reliable and effective methods of removing unwanted hair growth. In this procedure, hair is removed to reveal soft, smooth, stubble-free skin. Light is emitted onto the skin’s surface, effectively disabling the hair follicle with virtually no pain or side effects. Laser hair removal is designed to rid you of the hassle associated with maintaining undesired hair by giving you hair reduction.

What is the GentleMAX® Pro Laser?
The GentleMAX® Laser harnesses the power of two state-of-the-art lasers, GentleLase and GentleYAG, in a single laser device. This dual alexandrite and YAG wavelength technique allows our medical team to provide laser hair removal for all skin types safely, effectively, and comfortably. The GentleMAX® Laser can even work on patients with deep tans and dark skin pigmentation. This hair reduction treatment is designed to remove unwanted hair from any area of the body, including:
- Face (lips, cheeks, chin, brows, forehead)
- Arms
- Underarms
- Legs
- Back
- Chest
- Bikini line
What are the Benefits of GentleMAX® Pro Laser Hair Removal?
Studies have shown that laser hair removal can provide up to a 96% reduction of hair in treated areas, which can benefit you in a number of ways, including:
- 50% faster than it’s predecessor, GentleMAX®
- No more constant shaving
- No more painful waxing or plucking
- No more depilatory creams
- Results that last
- Smooth skin as if it were naturally free of hair
What is the GentleMAX® Pro Laser Hair Removal Procedure?
The procedure involves moving the GentleMAX® Pro laser over the targeted areas of skin. Pulses of light will target only the areas of unwanted hair and become absorbed by the hair follicles, causing them to lose the ability to regrow. The GentleMAX® Pro laser is known for its precision and is able to destroy the undesired hair follicles without harming surrounding skin. A cooling system used during the procedure can keep you comfortable while our technician waves the laser over the treatment areas.
The entire procedure typically takes under 30 minutes to complete, depending on the size and number of areas being treated. A series of laser hair removal treatments, spaced about 6-to-8 weeks apart, are often necessary for the most optimal results.
What is the Recovery Process with GentleMAX® Pro Laser Hair Removal?
There is usually no downtime necessary after laser hair removal with GentleMAX®; however, patients can expect some degree of redness and mild irritation in the treated area after the procedure. Our dermatologists advise patients to use high-SPF sunscreen on a regular basis, and it’s particularly important in the days following treatment since the treated areas will be more sensitive to light. They also advise laser hair removal patients not to pluck, wax, or use hair removal creams in between treatment sessions.
