What Is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal involves the use of a specialized cosmetic laser device to slow and prevent hair growth. The laser device emits concentrated beams of light energy to damage targeted hair follicles. This disrupts the hair regrowth cycle, so the treatment area can remain hair-free for several weeks or more. Laser hair removal treatments can be performed throughout the face and body, with some of the most common treatment areas being the legs, arms, underarms, bikini line, and back.
Who Is a Candidate for Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal can be a great option for patients with many skin tones and hair colors. Ideal candidates have fair to medium skin tones and darker hair, as this distinct contrast in coloration allows the laser to target the hair follicles more effectively. However, thanks to advancements in laser technology, this treatment is now accessible to many patients with darker skin tones and lighter hair colors.
Candidates must have realistic expectations and understand that while laser hair removal can significantly reduce hair growth, it may not result in complete hair removal for everyone. The experts at Spa Renaissance can determine whether you are a good candidate for laser hair removal during your initial consultation.
What to Expect During the Procedure
You will be given protective eyewear to wear throughout the procedure to shield your eyes from the laser. The treatment area will be cleansed, and the device will be adjusted to the appropriate setting for your hair color and skin tone. Our laser hair removal expert will guide the laser across the targeted area to cause controlled thermal damage to the hair follicles. You may feel tingling or snapping sensations during this process.
What to Expect After Laser Hair Removal
Post-procedure, patients can experience mild redness and/or swelling, similar to a sunburn. These symptoms typically dissipate within a few hours to a couple of days. It is important to avoid exposing the treatment site to sunlight, as the treated area will be particularly vulnerable to photodamage as it heals. Over the next few weeks, treated hairs will fall out, and you’ll begin to notice a reduction in hair growth.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
Due to the nature of the hair growth cycle, an initial series of sessions spaced four to six weeks apart will be needed to achieve optimal results. Your unique hair and skin characteristics may also affect the number of necessary treatments for accomplishing your desired outcome. Our expert can provide recommendations for the ideal treatment schedule for your needs during your consultation.
Cost of Laser Hair Removal
The price associated with your laser hair removal treatment will depend on the number of areas being treated, the size of the treatment site(s), and other patient-specific factors. You will be provided with complete cost details for your treatment during your consultation.

Patient Testimonials
This was the best decision I have ever made. I met with Dr. Stefani and hired him & received a full mommy makeover. I had met with several doctors as well, as this was a big decision to make. Dr. Stefani made me feel the most comfortable and he has a great bedside manner. Also, to be completely honest after surgery …He exceeded my expectations. I almost cried after I saw what I looked like after surgery. I had 3 c sections prior and nothing was ever the same after that. I feel better than I did before kids and I wish I did this sooner. If you are even slightly hesitant …don’t be! Dr. Stefani is AMAZING.
Dr. Williams is one of the most caring and talented doctors I have ever met! I was diagnosed with breast CA 2 years ago and was referred to him for reconstruction after choosing to do a bilateral mastectomy. Boy was I scared !! He put me at ease right away with great information on what to expect along and seemed to generally care about me even though we had just met! I knew I was in the best hands! Now after 2 years, not to sound weird, I get compliments on my "new" breasts all the time, even my family Dr gave them a big WOW! Cherry on top, he did a Tummy tuck on me to even out new look, and also get compliments all the time!
Dr. Miguel is the absolute best!! I've had rhinoplasty in the past with another surgeon, and I came in for a consultation with Dr. Miguel for an alar base reduction (narrowing of nostrils). He was so honest with his answer, and he told me it was not needed. He said the procedure was unnecessary, and to leave my nose just the way it is. He told me all the things that could go wrong if I were to go forward with this procedure. I am so grateful for his honesty, and I appreciate his conservative approach. If you are looking for a rhinoplasty surgeon and want honest feedback with natural results, please consult with Dr. Miguel.
