Tired of wasting your time shaving, waxing, and plucking? Laser hair removal is the quick and effective solution for you!
What Is Laser Hair Removal?
Instead of removing the actual hair, laser hair removal (LHR) uses laser energy or Broad Band Light (BBL) energy to effectively impair the hair follicle. Treating the source of hair this way halts growth for long periods of time — while it’s not a permanent solution, when hair does grow back, it will be finer, thinner, and far less noticeable. Laser hair removal can be a simpler, more time-effective, and longer-lasting option than traditional hair removal methods, like shaving and waxing.
Our team at Greer Plastic Surgery is dedicated to making sure every patient has a comfortable experience. That’s why we use the advanced BBL Forever Bare and the in-motion technique: together, these quickly and comfortably deliver the precise amount of energy needed to impair hair follicles without damaging skin — letting you walk out the door even faster with less hair and less irritation!
Are You A Candidate For
Laser Hair Removal?
If you’re ready to leave old-school hair removal methods of shaving, waxing, and plucking behind, schedule a free consultation with Greer Plastic Surgery to find out if you qualify for laser hair removal — most ages and skin types qualify!
Laser hair removal works best on those with dark hair and light skin, as dark absorbs energy better than light, and we want to focus energy on follicles holding hair. As hormonal changes can affect treatment, young teens may require a second treatment once puberty is complete, and you should wait to get LHR if you’re pregnant.

Laser hair removal can be done on various areas of the face and body, including:
Upper Lip
Legs
Chin
Stomach
Sideburns
Back
Armpits
Bikini Area
Arms
Brazilian Area

Laser Hair Removal FAQs
What is laser hair removal treatment like?
Before starting your laser hair removal treatment, we’ll clean the treatment area, then apply gel to help protect the skin and better conduct the laser energy. We also use a numbing cream on more sensitive areas, like the upper lip and armpits. LHR feels like tiny zaps on your skin, and you’ll likely feel a warm sensation from the heat of the laser.
Does laser hair removal hurt?
While it depends on the area treated and your personal pain tolerance, laser hair removal causes minimal discomfort in most cases, especially compared to waxing or plucking. Beyond a warm sensation, most patients say it feels at worst like a rubber band snapping on the skin.
How should you prepare for laser hair removal?
Don’t wax or pluck for at least six weeks prior to laser hair removal. You should also avoid using artificial tanner and stay out of the sun for two weeks before and after the treatment.
Can you shave before laser hair removal?
A common misconception is that you can’t shave before LHR. However, if there is too much hair, the laser will vaporize it and create additional heat, so feel free to shave — just not wax or pluck!
How many laser hair removal sessions will I need?
Since hair follicles go through a growth cycle, laser hair removal requires several treatments to target new follicles. Depending on the area you’re treating, we recommend six to 10 treatments, spaced four to 12 weeks apart.
Will my hair be permanently removed?
Although it varies from patient to patient, laser hair removal typically doesn’t guarantee permanent hair removal. However, it delays hair growth for long periods of time, and causes hair to regrow much finer and lighter in color when it does return.
How much does laser hair removal cost?
Laser hair removal costs vary depending on the area treated. At Greer Plastic Surgery, a package of six treatments can range from $500 for the upper lip to $1,500 for the lower legs, for example. Our team can help estimate a treatment package for your needs during your consultation.

What Our Patients Have to Say
Dr.Greer was amazing! She made me feel so comfortable through out my whole journey, surgery went very smoothly, and dr. Greer messaged me the night after my surgery checking up on me. Any questions or concerns I’ve had post surgery I was able to contact Dr. Greer about them and she would get back to me right away! I highly recommend her
Recently had my first lip filler experience with Kate and it truly exceeded my expectations. I was nervous and unsure about the process but she made sure I was comfortable and informed about everything happening. I feel so confident and happy with my results. I highly recommend Greer Plastic Surgery!
I traveled out of state after finding Dr. Greer. After an almost 100lb weight loss I had a mastopexy with autoaugmentation and a fleur de lis tummy tuck. I work as a provider in healthcare so have very high expectations. My entire experience from my consult 5 months ago to currently 8 days post op has been EXCEPTIONAL. Dr. Greer is hands down the most down to earth, kind, and personable surgeon I have ever met. Her patient coordinator Kellie and her nurse Tana are 10/10 amazing. I have felt well informed from the start and was prepared for my surgery and recovery with zero unanswered questions. Dr. Greer and her team not only make you feel good about your outer appearance but also boost your self esteem and confidence. I am so thankful for this group and will forever recommend them to everyone!
If you are looking for a wonderful office for your cosmetic needs, look no further! I am really pleased with my experiences so far. Dr Greer and staff are patient, understanding and super knowledgeable. Pricing is transparent and they offer a wide range of services. 10:10 really glad I found them.
I couldn't be any happier with choosing Dr. Greer for my plastic surgeries! I went in having very high anxiety cause I wanted two procedures done. Dr. Greer came in and made me feel so comfortable, relaxed and her personality made me feel so at ease. From consultation to surgery I had lots of questions, I emailed her and she got back to me right away with all the answers I need and was very informative to help me understand. The morning of my surgery she had me laughing and was so positive and felt like I was talking to a friend. Dr. Greer's nurses and other staff that were in the operating room kept me up to date on what is going on and what will be happening before I was out to sleep. The staff definitely put my mind at ease. The evening of my surgery Dr. Greer text and asked how I was doing, which surprised me and made me feel so important. The next day I was sent flowers from Dr. Greer and staff, was such a sweet and thoughtful gesture. I am 4 days post op and I couldn't be happier! I was able to talk to Dr. Greer and keep up her updated on my post op on day 3 when I showered and showed her pictures. She is hands down the best and most amazing plastic surgeon. Highly recommend Dr. Greer.
Where do I start! They listen to you. Dr Greer was the best surgeon for my lift. I told her what I wanted and didn’t want and she heard me. Natural not a 20 year old look. And I’m 62. No regrets.And Chelsea is my favorite for fillers and toxins. I’m not a fan of the large lips on me but do like having them defined and loosing the lines. Her results are perfection.The complete office staff are welcoming and easy to talk with.
I go to Dr. Greer for my Dysport and just went to Chelsea for my lips and they are both phenomenal and I have great results! I wanted my lips to look natural and they look so natural! She just plumped up what I have lost over the years! Highly recommend this practice! I have already referred a friend who has also had amazing results and my sister is going this week!
Dr. Greer is top notch! My experience with her services have restored my self confidence and youthfulness! She is professional and takes the time to understand your personal needs and desired results. Her staff is equally as outstanding and her office is comfortable and impeccable. I highly recommend Greer Plastic surgery!

From consultation to surgery to follow ups, every visit has been fantastic! The entire staff is friendly and welcoming. Dr. Greer is always available and quick to answer any questions or concerns I have had after surgery. I couldn’t have found a better office and surgeon!
I’m very pleased with my results from Dr Greer. Everything was explained perfectly and I knew exactly what to expect post op. Dr Greer and her staff go above and beyond for their patients. I will definitely choose Greer Plastic Surgery for any future procedures or treatments.
Chelsea did a great job working on my lip lines. I told her I didn’t want big lips just some definition. She listened and they turned out great. As soon as you walk in the door you feel welcome. I highly recommend Dr. Greer and her staff!!
Dr Greer is a truly skilled doctor, made me feel so comfortable prior to surgery and put me at ease. The staff at the office is always smiling pleasant and knowledgeable always a great experience with all my appointments.
I had the most pleasant experience. They are very professional and wonderful at what they do. I highly recommend them.
After a previous breast augmentation from another plastic surgeon in the area (10 years prior) I was never truly satisfied with my results. I consulted with Dr. Greer and decided right away that she was the doctor I would trust. She helped me choose what was the best option for the results that I wanted to achieve.Easy communication, always accessible to reach and just a great experience. I'm very happy with my results and have not stopped raving about her amazing work!

Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. You don't pick your surgeon lightly, you're putting a lot of trust in them! But I knew I was in good hands. I'm only 3 weeks post op after breast augmentation so I'm still waiting to see the final results, but so far I'm very happy with them! Would recommend to anyone looking to get any procedure done!
We love Dr. Greer & her amazing staff! We heard about her through our Nurse friend about being a clean friendly place to get children’s ears pierced! The entire experience was great from a welcoming staff to professional and caring care from Dr.Greer! My 3 year old loves her pretty crystal earrings! Healed fast and the cost of the ear piercing is unbeatable! I highly recommend Dr. Greer to all my mom friends and bridal clients for pre wedding prep! So glad to have someone so talented so close to home!
Chelsea was attentive to my needs. She had a professional approach, gave personalized care and made me feel very comfortable and well cared for. The staff at the front desk was friendly and made me feel welcomed.
Dr. Greer is an amazingly compassionate Doctor who clearly values her patients and their experiences. Her acts of kindness exceed that of all other Doctor’s these days. She is rare and one of a kind. I feel like I made a good choice to have her perform my procedure even with the 6 hour drive outside of my home state. I would certainly recommend her to anyone.
Absolutely love Dr. Greer and her team. Dr. Greer and Chelsey have been helping me with some severe acne scarring on my face. The scarring is so much less now! It has really improved my confidence. Thank you all so much! Wouldn’t go anywhere else.
I had an appointment with Dr. Greer this morning and I can’t think of enough amazing things to say about her and her facility. She is warm and welcoming from start to finish along with the rest of the staff. She listened to my concerns and explained what she thought would best address them. Within minutes something I’ve been self conscious about for years was no longer an issue to me. 10/10 would recommend to anyone.
There are not enough words to describe Dr. Greer. She is not only a wonderful surgeon but woman as well. She makes you feel so comfortable, and at ease, every step of the way. She was so informative, helpful, and nicest person I have ever encountered. My results were beyond any expectations. Dr. Greer is the far most talented woman I have ever had the privilege of knowing. Thank you Dr. Greer!
Absolutely amazing surgeon. Dr Greer does wonderful work and is so kind and nurturing. She held my hand while I was going under for surgery- I have never had a physician take the time to do that. It really put me at ease and I knew I was in good hands. She also gives you her number to text with any questions or concerns- and follows up regularly. I even got flowers from her after surgery. I am thrilled with my results and I 1000% recommend her.
