Laser Hair Removal (LHR)
From your face to your tippy toes, wouldn’t it be great to feel totally smooth and confident? At ELAN Medical Aesthetics we offer laser hair removal for all body parts.
Laser hair removal is a great solution if you suffer from access unwanted hair, ingrown hair and razor burn. It works by zapping hair away at the source. The laser emits a concentrated light that is absorbed by the root of the hair. This powerful energy damages the hair follicle, making it impossible for new hair to grow.
The laser impacts all hair follicles that are in the active growth stage, which is why each treatment can reduce hair growth. Our clients love our FDA, pain-free LHR machine! Our laser hair removal technicians make sure your treatment is comfortable and make you feel at ease throughout the entire process.
We want you to feel comfortable in your own skin. That is why we offer laser hair removal for any area of your body where you feel self-conscious from the presence of excess hair. Let our caring, expert team deliver a safe, painless experience that leaves you feeling pampered.

frequently asked questions
If you are considering laser hair removal, explore some of the questions clients ask us most often. We look forward to helping you get the elite services you need.
- How Long Is A Laser Hair
Removal Appointment?
The duration of each procedure depends on the size of the treated area. For instance, treatment on areas like upper lip takes less than a minute, while a medium area can take up to 15 minutes, whereas a large area can take 30 min.
- HOW MANY SESSIONS ARE NEEDED FOR LASER HAIR REMOVAL
Most people need 6 to 12 laser hair removal treatments every 4 to 8 weeks depending on location to see results, plus an annual maintenance session. That said, everyone is different, so you may find that you need fewer sessions (or more).
- How Long Does Laser Hair
Removal Last?
Clinical studies show that with the right laser platform coupled with an experienced laser professional, permanent hair reduction can be achieved, with about 6 to12 treatments. There are, however, many different factors that can influence the effectiveness of treatment. Such things include hair color and coarseness, skin tone as well as hormonal changes and other genetic considerations. As such, some clients will require a few additional treatments in order to achieve their personal level of desired results.
- Where Can I Have Laser Hair
Removal Done?
Laser hair removal can be done on almost any area of the body, except for eyelids and sometimes tattooed areas. These include the following: upper lip, armpits, legs, and chin.
- What Do I Need To Do After
Laser Hair Removal?
Following a laser hair removal treatment, the area may feel and look like mild sunburn. Cooling gel is applied immediately after treatment that sooths the skin. It is very important that you don't shower or bath with hot water, do any exfoliating treatments or scrubs for a couple days after your treatment. Limit direct and prolonged sun exposure on the treated areas during the course of your sessions that can cause hyperpigmentation. Avoid excessive sweating and irritation to the treated areas up to 48 hours after the treatment.
- What can I expect from my
consultation?
