Contact UsWhat is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal has become one of the most common cosmetic treatments in the United States. It is an effective option for the long-term reduction of unwanted hair on the face and body. This treatment typically leaves the skin looking and feeling smoother while providing longer-lasting results compared to other methods. With the Venus Velocity™ laser system, our provider, Dr. Hope Short, at Oak Hills Med Spa & Wellness Center in Tyler, TX performs effective and safe laser hair removal services for both women and men in commonly desired areas, including the back, legs, arms, face, armpits, and intimate areas.
What Are The Benefits of Laser Hair Removal?
Constant waxing and shaving is a hassle, not to mention time-consuming and sometimes painful. Laser hair removal, provided by our skilled team at Oak Hills Med Spa & Wellness Center in Tyler, TX, offers an excellent alternative to these traditional methods. Here are some key benefits of treatment:
- Long-lasting results: Unlike waxing or shaving, laser hair removal provides long-term reduction of unwanted hair. This means you can say goodbye to constantly scheduling touch-ups.
- Less irritation: Shaving and waxing can lead to skin irritation, bumps, and ingrown hairs. With laser treatment, the chance of these issues is greatly reduced.
- Saves time and money: While the initial cost may seem higher than other methods, laser hair removal saves you time and money by reducing the need for continuous maintenance.
- Suitable for all skin types: Laser procedures can be safely performed on a variety of skin types and tones, making it an inclusive option for anyone looking to reduce unwanted hair.
Is Laser Hair Removal Right for Me?

what to expect from Laser Hair Removal
At your laser hair removal appointment, you will be asked to lie in one of our treatment rooms as the needed areas of your skin are cleaned to eliminate dirt, oil, and moisturizers. During laser hair removal, a technician will stretch out the skin to provide a direct path between the root of the hair follicle and the Venus Velocity laser system. The laser beam will focus on and kill the follicle, which prevents the hair from growing again. Typically, you will need to get 3 – 5 sessions over 3 – 4 weeks to achieve your ideal results. Your treatments are staggered to allow the treated areas time to heal. This also allows time for hair follicles in the dormant phase of growth to change to the phase of active growth so they can be treated. The specialized laser technology we use at Oak Hills Med Spa & Wellness Center is able to target only the hair follicle, preserving the skin and other tissue in the treatment area.

The lash lift/tint was incredible! Valeria spoke to me through every step leaving which was helpful. I felt no anxiety throughout my appointment. I booked a hydrafacial immediately after and cannot wait! Everyone at the spa was friendly and welcoming. 5/5 hard recommend!

What to Expect After Laser Hair Removal
While the treatment is relatively gentle, the treated areas of your skin may feel similar to a mild sunburn when lasers are used, especially with laser skin rejuvenation or other nonsurgical skin resurfacing techniques. When you leave our office, you can return to your normal routine, but it’s important to avoid exercise or extended sun exposure for about 24 hours to allow the treated skin to recover. Once you’re home, soothing creams or cold packs can help minimize any lingering mild discomfort.
Laser Hair Removal FAQs
How much does laser hair removal cost?
The cost of laser hair removal depends on the size and number of areas being treated, as well as the number of sessions needed to achieve your desired results. When comparing the investment, think about the time and effort spent on shaving, waxing, or other hair removal methods. Over time, laser hair removal is often more cost-effective and saves both time and energy. During your consultation, our team will design a personalized treatment plan, including the recommended number of sessions and a detailed pricing breakdown.
Is laser hair removal permanent?
Laser hair removal offers an effective solution for long-lasting hair reduction. While it’s considered semi-permanent since some hair may not be affected, most patients notice a significant reduction in hair growth after completing their treatment plan. Any remaining or new hair growth is typically minimal and easy to manage. Additional sessions may be recommended to address new growth or remaining hairs for optimal results.
Why do I need multiple laser hair removal sessions?
Hair growth occurs in cycles, with some follicles actively growing while others are in a resting phase. Because each follicle operates on its own timeline, multiple sessions are usually needed to target each one during its active growth phase. Scheduling your treatments over several weeks ensures effective results and leaves your skin feeling smoother.
Does laser hair removal hurt?
The process of laser hair removal can cause mild discomfort, but it's not a painful procedure. Patients will feel a slight sting when the laser targets and removes each hair follicle. Your technician may use a numbing ointment on the surface of the skin before the treatment. Patients who are used to getting waxed report that laser hair removal feels more comfortable compared to a session of waxing.
Which laser is best to remove hair?
There are many great laser systems available. Oak Hills Med Spa & Wellness Center uses the latest hair removal technology for women and men with most hair types and colors. The laser we use offers excellent results, and we continue to upgrade our practice as newer lasers become available. Ask us for more information on our laser system in your initial consultation.
How should I prepare for laser hair removal?
Proper laser hair removal preparation includes avoiding sun exposure and not waxing or plucking before your appointment. Shaving the treatment area is typically recommended so the laser can effectively target the follicle. Your provider will give detailed instructions based on your treatment plan.
