What is Laser Hair Removal?
Hair removal with a laser has become one of the most common elective treatments in Wilkesboro, NC. It is a convenient option for the long-term reduction or removal of hair on the body and face. This procedure, utilizing the Soprano® ICE device, usually leaves the skin feeling and looking smoother and provides great, lasting results compared to other hair removal methods.

How much does laser hair removal cost?
Laser hair removal varies in cost, depending on the size of the treatment area and how many sessions are required to achieve a smooth result. To help put the cost of laser hair removal into perspective, estimate the time and energy you currently spend on waxing, shaving, or other temporary methods. In comparison, laser hair removal is usually more cost-effective and will save you countless hours in the long run. Wilkes Rejuvenation MD will help you develop a custom laser hair removal plan with the number of sessions you need and total cost.
Is laser hair removal permanent?
Laser hair removal produces lasting hair removal improvements for men and women. While many patients enjoy the benefits of laser hair removal for a long time, it is technically semi-permanent because some hair follicles may not be affected by the laser. Most patients find that the majority of hair will be removed permanently by the laser hair removal process after their treatment plan is finished. If stray hairs are still growing, it is very easy to manage with additional laser hair removal treatments.
Why do I need multiple laser hair removal sessions?
Your hair growth occurs in cycles. While some hair follicles are in a live-growth phase, other follicles are dormant. Since every hair follicle grows at a different pace, multiple treatment sessions are typically needed to target each follicle when it is growing. If you spread your laser hair removal treatments over several weeks, you get a much better outcome and silky skin.
Does laser hair removal hurt?
Your laser hair removal session at Wilkes Rejuvenation MD can cause some discomfort, but it is not considered a painful procedure. If you are used to getting waxed, you probably won’t consider laser hair removal to be painful. You will feel a small sting as the laser targets and removes the hair follicle. The cooling technology of the Soprano ICE system will help you stay comfortable throughout the treatment.
