Laser Hair Removal in Mentor, OH

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
