What Is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is one of the most popular elective services in America. It is an effective option for the long-term reduction or removal of unwanted hair on the face and/or body. This procedure usually leaves the skin feeling and looking smoother and provides long-lasting results compared to other common methods. At Refine Plastic Surgery, our aesthetic care team employs the SPLENDOR X by Lumenis. This laser platform is effective for all skin types, treats diverse hair types, and utilizes dual-wavelength energy that can be adjusted for lighter or darker skin tones. SPLENDOR X also features a dual cooling system for greater results. Our Midland-Odessa, TX practice performs this effective and safe laser hair removal service for both men and women in frequently needed areas, including the legs, back, arms, face, chest, armpits, and bikini area. Schedule an appointment with our laser hair removal team today. Medical spa treatments and surgical consultations are held at our Odessa, TX location.
How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
On the day of your laser hair removal appointment at Refine Plastic Surgery, you will be comfortably positioned in one of our treatment rooms. The areas of your face and body to be treated will first be cleansed to remove any dirt, oil, and lotions, ensuring a clear area for treatment. During the procedure, our technician will gently stretch the skin in the targeted area to create a direct path between the laser and the root of the hair follicle. Our laser platform is powered by the advanced BLEND X™ technology, offering unparalleled power, speed, versatility, and coverage rate. It features dual light settings to effectively treat both light and dark hair. The light energy emitted by the laser is absorbed by the melanin in the hair, destroying the hair follicles to prevent or halt future growth. The revolutionary laser technology we employ is specifically designed to target only the hair follicle, preserving the surrounding skin and other tissues in the treatment area.
What Should I Expect from Laser Hair Removal?
Although laser hair removal is mostly gentle, your skin may feel like it has a light sunburn due to the use of lasers. After your treatment, you can resume your daily activities, but you need to avoid strenuous activity or sun exposure for a day to let the treated areas heal. When you get home after your treatment, we suggest anti-inflammatory creams or ice packs to treat any discomfort.

Laser Hair Removal FAQ
Is laser hair removal permanent?
An effective treatment, laser hair removal offers lasting results. While patients can enjoy the results of the treatment for many years, laser hair removal is considered semi-permanent because some follicles may not be affected by the laser. Regardless, patients find the majority of the hair follicles are not growing anymore once their plan is done and even if a few hairs pop up, it's very easy to deal with. More laser hair removal sessions can also be needed to take care of new growth and any stragglers as well.
Why do I need multiple laser hair removal sessions?
Your hair growth occurs in phases. When some follicles are growing, others are resting. Because every hair follicle grows in various stages, several sessions are recommended to target each hair follicle when it is in a growing phase. Getting your treatments over several weeks so you get the smoothest, most effective result.
Does laser hair removal hurt?
Laser hair removal may cause some discomfort, but it isn't considered too painful. Patients will feel a slight snap as the laser zaps the follicle. We may use a numbing ointment on your skin before the start of the treatment. Patients who have been getting waxed report that laser hair removal is more comfortable than a normal waxing session.
