xeo® Laser Hair Removal in Sugar Land, TX

The biggest risk with lasers is eye damage. Both the patient and the person operating the laser should wear goggles specific to the type of laser being used. Other risks include blistering, scarring, and burns that can discolor your skin. Some redness and swelling can be expected, but you should not be getting burned or blistered.

The procedure hurts, but not a lot. It stings and is typically described as a rubber band snapping against your skin. But it only stings for a millisecond, about the time it takes for the laser to target your hair follicle and zap it away. Skin may be a little red and puffy after the procedure, but you shouldn’t feel any pain in the area by the time you leave the office.

Laser hair removal works on almost every skin type, from very light to dark. Blonde, gray, or light red hair is difficult to treat because the laser targets color.

The actual procedure time depends on the area being treated. Each hair follicle is zapped in a millisecond, so a small area (such as the armpits) will take less than five minutes to complete, while a larger area (such as the legs) might take half an hour or more.
The suggested number of treatments before you’re completely hair-free is typically 5-6.

The only place you must avoid is around the eyes-eyebrows (including a unibrow), upper cheeks, and temples, which need to be tweezed or waxed because of the risk of eye damage from the laser. But everywhere else is just fine.
